Connie is living her best life at the moment. She's accepted that the bullying neighbour cats have gone (they moved house), and now she's out in the back garden as much as she can be :)

I think this can apply also to practice research.

My new orchestra piece from last week's Tectonics festival is online for the next 30 days.

Honoured to be included in Rodrigo Constanzo's "play talk play" series, where improvisors play, then talk, then play :)

This was the 1st time I used the halldorophone in with another improvisor, which took me a bit to get used to. Normally I spend the whole time treating the instrument as another agent, so having essentially a third agent (but one that actually thinks and feels) was a new challenge. So I guess I prefer the second "play" to the first, but both were fun.

Tectonics Festival was awesome as ever. Many new discoveries and met a few people I've long admired.

Now I'm just chilling in the Glasgow sun.
