A video of ‘Lag’ is now on the BBC website for a few weeks! Huge thank you to @BBCSSO for their beautiful performance and to Ilan Volkov and @tectonicsglas. I’d recommend listening on big speakers at a low volume and standing as far away as possible 😶‍🌫️ bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0hxyrt…

"Laure M Hiendl’s Seht meine Wunden for ensemble and electronics, deals with music as a spatial artform within the traditional concert setting. Its title and inspiration come from a disturbing line in Philosophy of World Relations, an essay by the Martinican writer, poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant" @Jackfsheen wigmore-hall.org.uk/whats-on…

Fabulous surround sound in Hackney Church for London Contemporary Music Festival. Beatriz Ferreyra was a great discovery, and there were bubbles, poured salt, and even a string quartet @house_apartment @LCMF_

A huge highlight of doing @LCMF_ is always seeing artists chat and cultures, ideas, aesthetics, and scenes cross pollinating. Last night it was Edward Henderson introducing EVOL @_roc to ‘the greatest work of durational art ever’, The Archers.
