@cjrw Thanks for letting me know, and for highlighting my work!

Claudia Gorbman wrote one of the most widely read, discussed & debated books on film music.

So thrilled to have my paper (from my PhD thesis) recognised by this award.

Thank you to the judging panel & also to my supervisors @JDGodsall @TerryClark80 @AdlingtonRCM @RCMLondon

Well done to the conference team and all speakers! I really enjoyed my flying visit to Oxford today - my first in-person music conference since 2019!

[Sound on Screen @SoundonScreenOB]

And that’s a WRAP on #SoundonScreen2023 folks! 🎬🎉

THANK YOU to all of our speakers for your wonderful contributions & attendees for your engagement

It’s been wonderful to bring people from around the world together to talk about music and sound. See you all in the next one!

Probably the best thing you'll see today.

In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.

That's right, folks, NEVER post photos of your pet on your personal social media. There's definitely NO OTHER SOLUTION to this problem. (Credit: compulsory work course on information security)

@DanElphick @RHULMusic @nathanjdearden Good memories of performing the Bryars at uni - long silence at the end of the piece until some bloke in the audience very audibly said 'f***ing hell...'

@Nuschmeichs @jazzlady_k @royalmusical Not specifically (though I'm a grateful past recipient) - helping researchers apply for grants is now my job!

@jwilli7 @ElsaMarshall16 @drjamesmillea @BARNVirtual I don't, sorry!

[Jonathan Godsall @JDGodsall]

Seems a bit mean of the AI to characterise my work in this way 🤔

[Jonathan Godsall @JDGodsall]

@ursmusically Fantastic!

This 2019 article I cowrote on 'Battle Orations in Medieval Film' has finally been published online, on Cambridge Core. The whole issue seemed to have disappeared into the ether, so I'm glad it's now more accessible to readers: https://t.co/2kcHGqmDEU

[Jonathan Godsall @JDGodsall]

Featuring discussions of battle-speech music in Henry V (x2), Braveheart (and some "related" Horner scores...), LOTR, GoT, and others.
