Well...I'm trying to be creative but I don't think I can do much until I've had a coffee. I'm updating things on the internet to broaden people's knowledge of me. I should be getting on with music but then If I write the music how can people know to listen? You see my predicament?

We're coming up to February, the most inbetween of all the months - besides October, perhaps. It doesn't really mean anything, does it? It's just cold. I like to moan in the morning, it gets it all out of my system for the rest of the day. 

Alex has just taken the breakfast out of the oven so I'm going to eat now. Anyone ever had Ginger & Whisky preserve?

 Met up at the weekend with Kora player Sura Susso and violinist Max Baillie and chatted with a couple of other composers about the pieces we are going to be writing for them for 13th November. Max and Sura will be playing the pieces at a workshop, given at the Cello Factory http://www.eventmagazine.co.uk/news/rss/853708/Cello-Factory/ along with a concert later. Come along if you're free!

Getting together some thoughts, ideas and bits of music for a String Quartet I'll be writing for performance at St. Bartholomew's Church, London, in February. The deadline is January. Extremely excited but bricking it. Maybe thinking about adding electronics and marimba. Something easy to carry, y'know. I might rope Toby into building me some custom built effects. 
I thought the BBC1 thing worked well. I've now officially been on Crimewatch! I crave the publicity.
