I’ve decided that I’ll only feature videos of Farage in my content with voice modification, like the BBC did with Sinn Fein in the 90s, to avoid giving them the oxygen of publicity or an illusion of credibility.
I’ve written the theme tune for My Friend Maisy, a 52 x 5’ preschool series from @bbcstudios Kids & Family and Trustbridge Entertainment, animated by @AProductionsUK and @KarrotAnimation. The first 6 eps are now on Sky Kids and streaming on @NOW in the UK
Our podcast theme’s on pause, so for now we’re using Farting on the Sofa, written by my two-year-old.
3,500 people sang it at the Apollo.
From Ep 33 — all about improvisation and why music starts with play, not perfection.

In 1922, F. W. Murnau made Nosferatu — one of the first horror films and still one of the strangest.
This is my live improvised score using trumpet, wind and percussion, sampled and processed live all manner of fun electronics.

The podcast’s been taken down on some platforms after a copyright strike — on my own music.
Here’s the new version. You’ll see why I preferred the old one.

What happens if you play the sea like an instrument? 🌊🎶
In Episode 31 of Steve Pretty On the Origin of the Pieces, I used tuned filters to isolate specific frequencies in a recording of waves — and ended up literally playing the ocean.
Whale earwax might be the ocean’s most unexpected archive.
In Ep 31 of OOTP, Richard Sabin from @NHM_London explains how whale ear “plugs” reveal age, pregnancy, pollutants & rising stress linked to underwater noise.

An hour of ambient music made entirely from conch and triton shells, processed live using some very lovely gear.
It’s gentle, droney, and strangely calming — ideal for background focus or zoning out.
Also: the silver torso was already there.

Sylvia Young has sadly died — a huge loss to British theatre.
In this clip from my Eurovision special with her daughter @frances_ruffelle, we talk music hall, vinyl, and how Sylvia helped save @WiltonMusicHall with a group of kids & some postage stamps.

If you’re a musician/composer/artist/band etc and have a @SoundCloud account, I’d urge you to consider whether it’s worth keeping your music on there. I’ve just deleted mine as they seem to be using the data to train AI systems without our permission. 🤬 #music#production
