@rachlove31@snb19692 First single I ever bought! I actually went out for a drink with Graham and some of his band mates last year and I don’t think he realised how star struck I was. Lovely man (and also the creator of superb comedy character John Shuttleworth).
The BBC has announced its policy on AI music. I think it has made the wrong choice for British musicians, and should change course.
It says it will allow music created with generative AI, as long as it involves “meaningful human creativity”. That phrase might sound good, but in reality is hard to define, and is likely the start of a slippery slope.
Worse, it will further normalise the use of AI music generators that were built by stealing the work of real musicians. Because you can bet those are the ‘tools’ that will be used to make the music the BBC will be playing.
One of the BBC's 5 'Public Purposes’ is “to support the creative economy across the United Kingdom”. I worry that this new policy will have the opposite effect. More demand for the products of exploitative generative AI companies; less, inevitably, for musicians.
The BBC is a thoughtful organisation. I deeply hope they will reconsider.
If anyone at the BBC sees this, I would love to chat.
Very much looking forward to going back to Galway this week from the 10th to 13th of July to spend time with Irish and international filmmakers at this year’s Fleadh. Drop me a line if you’re going and I’ll see you there. #fleadh#fleadh2026#screenireland#ifta#filmcomposer
And so ends another Cannes. A great time was had with friends and colleagues old and new. Returning home inspired by my time spent in the heart of European cinema. See you next year! #cannesfilmfestival#cannes2026
@BhavaniVadde@metpoliceuk How awful. So sorry you had to endure such a vile rant from this brain dead thug. Hopefully he can be identified and prosecuted from your footage.
Love Lies Bleeding was one of my favourite films of last year so I'm happy to be scoring Katy O'Brian's next film, comedy Maintenance Required for Amazon Studios. The film also stars Madison Bailey, Madelaine Petsch, Jim Gaffigan and Jacob Scipio. Great to be working again with @future_artists_entertainment, producer @mattwilliams5858 and music supervisor @msjennegan. Currently recording guitars, guitars and more guitars....
