Just reworked my arrangements of Sleigh Ride and Let it Snow for a little Christmas tour this year. Baritone, flute, violin, piano and bass clarinet or cello.
If you want them, DM me.

All notes done, yay! Now for the tedious task of revisions, corrections, checking the layout and tidying up the score.
30+ minutes of music in just over 6 weeks, I'm quite proud of myself.

Almost finished the songs for this project using poetry from #Gaza. I've managed to slip in quotes from Ornette Coleman, David Shire and the very neat make-the-piano-sound-like-a-celesta trick I learned from Saint-Saëns.
Première is on January 15th in Amsterdam

The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

Just had my first ever lesson on the cornett. No, not the brass one but rather the one also known as a zink. Amazingly beautiful instrument if you know how to play it, which I don’t.
