“His music thrives in the sustained tension, like the kinetic energy emanating from the corners of a frame, the opposing forces holding up a house.” (Musicworks #141, Winter 2022)

This space is my open diary where I dump grumpy thoughts, occasional selfies/photos, and whatnot.

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

@UncleDuke1969 as a Grumpy Kitty Boy, I approve of this hierarchy. 💪🏽😼

At the weekend, a group of trans women protested topless at the Scottish Parliament about the recent Supreme Court ruling that the Equality Act defines women as "biological women". The police couldn't arrest them, because to arrest them for showing their breasts would be to define them as women (it's not illegal for men to be topless). And, of course, the right-wing press that reported on it censored their breasts, thereby making their point for them.

(2/2) Hundreds (I believe!) of SeaBus passengers exiting Lonsdale Quay create this titillating soundscape with audible turnstiles firing nonstop!

(1/2) I did field recordings in Vancouver after my four-week MacDowell residency. (Also three interviews for my music release next month). For two commissioned music projects, I recorded transit interior soundscapes like buses, light rail, planes, even audible traffic signals. Then those audible turnstiles at North Vancouver's Lonsdale Quay when hundreds of SeaBus passengers exit in droves -- gotta record that too! Video follows. #fieldrecording #electroacoustic #Composer #contemporaryclassical

@dabertime I was biking along a trail some days ago and encountered so many geese along the way. There's this one mom goose with soooo many hatchlings and my first thought was: Who did this to you??? How dare he. 🤔😹

I did #fieldrecording work during my #MacDowellResidency last month. There's this forest, water, wind, owls hooting - beautiful #soundscapes. But there's also airplane traffic above, zooming vehicles far away. Human sounds encroach on seemingly remote spaces. A teacher would describe it as the encroachment of colonial modernity on ancestral lands. Even musical action is human intervention. But sifting through this patchwork is a composition exercise.

@arendleejessurun i think the demo songs were the icing on the cake with those PSRs. They were done really, really well as I remember, and that got me learning to play those songs by ear or something (with the programmed accompaniment). If I can hear them again, it would be a great exercise to recreate the music production and put a spin to each track. 😹

It's been 10 days since I left MacDowell. I was awarded a MacDowell Fellowship, which brought me a very productive four-week #ArtistResidency there. (A five-day Vancouver stay followed for another upcoming project in June). I jumpstarted a couple of musical projects - five commissioned pieces, in fact! - during my stay, with premieres set in Europe for 2026/2027. Thank you, MacDowell!
