Absolutely thrilled to find out I've been nominated in this years Mark Awards 🎉

The track was used in the BBC drama series "Granite Harbour" and played out the last action scene.

Thanks so much to @londonsyncmusic for all the support and effort behind the scenes! 😊

The last episode of the @myfirstmilpod is one of the best I've listened too for a while! Umax, the forever chemicals segment was outstanding, the growth stories from the unnamed silicone valley seo guy.. Even the thrill of the shill was on point! Awesome stuff lads! 🤯

@thesamparr Awesome! I've listened to each of them (I'm not your target market, ie not high-net-worth nor young and on my way! Middle aged and a couple decades behind where I'd like to be!) but moneywise is so motivating and equally grounding to listen too. Keep up the great work Sam!

Thank you so much @PRSforMusic for the fantastic news Today. Even though most of the time it doesn't feel like it, the hard work is paying off! Very grateful! 😇

My grandmother would have been 95 years old today.

A few years ago, my mom hired a writer to sit down with her and document stories from her life.

I think everyone should do this:

The process brought my grandmother immense joy—and the result will bring my family joy for years to come.

We had planned to give her the book on her 95th birthday—sadly, life had other plans.

My mom found the writer through an elderly care service in India.

Her request was for someone who would record and transcribe stories from my grandmother.

The writer was a recent university graduate named Raika Sengupta.

The process began shortly after the pandemic lockdowns ended in India.

Raika would visit with my grandmother every week.

Depending on my grandmother’s energy, they would meet for an hour or less.

Each time, they would pick up where they left off on her life journey.

Raika would record the conversation and then transcribe the recordings—mostly in my grandmother’s own words, with some stylistic improvements where necessary.

My grandmother was an AMAZING storyteller, so the writing naturally flowed.

The weekly meeting became a beautiful ritual.

During a time when there wasn’t much to look forward to because of COVID lockdowns and a diminished social life, my grandmother looked forward to these sessions.

They made her feel important again—such a powerful thing at her age.

Once the writing was complete, my mother—a beautiful writer herself—took the pen on editing and converting the stories into a book.

She worked with my grandmother on the flow and filling in the gaps.

They added chapters on special people in her life—siblings, friends, etc.

We wanted to add photos to the book, so the whole family got involved.

When I was in India last January, I got to sit with my mom, dad, and grandmother and go through old photos to include.

We uncovered some real gems. It was beautiful.

I didn't know it would be the last time I would see her in this world...

The book is almost complete. We will have enough copies made so that all of her family can have a copy to remember her by.

Her memory will be a blessing.

I really believe everyone should do this.

One of the saddest things is seeing our grandparents feel they are no longer “important” to anyone.

The process reminded my grandmother how much she is loved and how much she still has to offer the world.

Tonight, I'll be on stage in India in front of 1,000 people, with my parents in attendance. I know my grandmother will be sitting in the front row smiling at me.

Hug your loved ones close. Time is precious.

I love you and miss you, Avva.

@OrchestralTools Hey guys, I was really hoping for some offers on a few of the libraries like "salu", and the creative sound packs. Any offers coming up on these any time soon? Hope so!

[mic burns @micburns]

ANY donation would be super appreciated! 👏 Thank you so much! 😊

I'm falling out of a plane to help raise money for kids during tough times. I'm also a self-employed composer, which means I don't leave the house and have no 'real' friends.. so please, you're my only hope! haha 🤞

You never know where the first seed comes from, and the best ones tend to fall into your lap by sheer coincidence… 🌰

Watch how ‘and we’ll leave it there…’ came to be here, and find the song wherever you listen to music.

@MattBowdler @uheplugins Purchased! Looking forward to exploring this! Matt - thanks a lot!

@SpitfireAudio feature request: on the website product page, could you add a filter for "libraries you do not own" so I can more easily browse those libraries? Would be helpful for many I'm sure - thanks!
