I played Anthony Gilbert’s Moonfaring when I was an undergrad. We invited him to the performance and he was so generous with his time. I fondly remember him bringing out a box of aboriginal instruments that inspired the piece and talking us through them. He will be sorely missed

Just awful. State mandated destuction of the arts, ACE is not fit for purporse. Psappha created music like no one else in the country.

Psappha has made the very difficult decision to close. Thread ↓ (1/5)

This was my first dive into live electronics for a what’s I have learnt is trouble shooting Max over zoom is not ideal

Had a lot of fun recording Flowers Tannenbaum’s percussion quartet ‘1582 shipping containers’ yesterday. I’m really enjoying getting to do more new music at the moment

This is about to start is sounding great you should pop in if you’re around!

I’m often sceptical about listening to any super long Feldman but this was such a nice environment to listen in with people napping, knitting, drinking, and just wandering around. More gigs like this please!

[Dan Nolan @DanNolan_]

This was so much fun!

My flatmate found this autoharp in a charity shop, don't think it's seen much love or tuning over the years but it has a really haunting quality to it. Thought it warranted some rambling improv! https://t.co/5jdfqUsKA3

This was a great little piece to work on that started life over two years ago!

[Ben Nobuto @bennobuto]
