It's an odd time to have new music to release, but @eyepitydafu recorded this little piece of mine somewhat about Emily Dickinson but mostly about plinky piano noises. Grateful for George, @pcashian, @RoyalAcadMusic + their recording department. #200Pieces

@homeoffice_ukvi @DanielZeichner @JesusCollegeCam I am devastated by the news that my tourist visa to attend my PhD graduation @Cambridge_Uni has been rejected. I am the first in my family to achieve this milestone, and being denied after 5 years of study feels incredibly unjust.
Dumb, grifting bullshit.
These conversations don't happen and only weird, right-wing influencers say "DEI" like this.
No one should take Samuel Andreyev seriously, he's riding a right-wing grift cash cow.

We also believe that the arts should reflect society, in some capacity, and that means intentionally making sure we platform different voices. That isn't a chore, it's a joy.
The limiting factor to this joy is funding. I want to commission loads of people, including modernists!

Brexit is the new austerity for creative industries.
“The creative industries were worth more than aerospace, car manufacturing, life sciences, and oil and gas together. Brexterity cripples them.”

There really needs to be a similar push in concert music as well. The pay is equivalent to what you'd pay a friend to petsit while on holiday
It's hard to raise money, I know that very well. However, what is the point of working for 3 months for 400£. At that rate, it's a hobby.

It feels very obvious that @EquityDandD and @StageDirectors need to organise a, urgent, clear and vocal campaign on this subject, demanding that pay falls in line with the kind of figures I have outlined in my tweet and increases with the rise of cost-of-living year on year.

Someone just said to me, "this is about respect". And that really floored me. They're right. This is what all industrial disputes about pay have been about throughout time. About respect.

Jason I love you but mounting a 4038 ribbon mic sideways like that means the ribbon is under lateral stress, likely to distend in the magnetic gap, potentially rubbing against the armature but certainly not operating in its linear range. Please keep ribbons in the vertical plane.
Tonight is a rare night we can’t complain that there’s nothing great to watch on TV
Our @JasonIsbell (and @amandashires) documentary premieres tonight on @HBO

Rebecca Frecknall's interview in @TheStage has prompted me to break out a thread I have sat on for a while. It breaks down what I think is the biggest obstacle in theatre but the least openly discussed... Pay
So here is the THEATRE PAY MATHS THREAD 🧵👇

“Palestinians who had barricaded themselves inside”
Knowledge of Islam would reveal the practice of ‘itikaf’ - where Muslims spend nights in a mosque in secluded worship.
Publishing what the Israeli state says to justify its violence, w/o questioning it, is propaganda.
The Israeli police raided the Aqsa Mosque compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, to detain scores of Palestinians who had barricaded themselves inside. This prompted rocket fire from Gaza, to which Israel responded with strikes on Gaza military sites.nyti.ms/3ZQpH8k

“Classical music in Britain is genuinely “world-beating”, yet it is being vandalised by know-nothings with a confection of crackpot ideologies.”
