A few years ago @tantacrul.bsky.social made a hilarious and accurate video about Sibelius software which eventually led to us becoming good friends. He's now completed the last of the music notation review series with this fun look at Finale and its demise www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqao...

Over 50 applicants for my Composing Workshop in March, thanks to everyone who applied. Very much looking forward to meeting Caroline Tyler, Camilo Espinosa, Anna Disley-Simpson, Kit McCarthy and Ben Phair. The workshop will be available on my patreon.
Harmonium, celesta and soprano. Very cool combo!
The extraordinary Herzgewächse by #Schoenberg (that vocal line!) Fun fact: #Boulez played the harmonium in a 1945 performance and #Poulenc played the celesta part in 1921. Imagine if they had performed together in an ensemble... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qzk...

Jacob Collier's Audience Choir is a unique experiment in turning a crowd into an instrument. I break down how it works, and look at far its come - how to make cluster chords and modulations, just by waving your hands! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpCN... @jacobcollier
