Moving film about the ineffable power of music by @JohnBridcut on @BBCTwo. Bernard Haitink embodies humility & wonder, and allows us to peer into the unfathomable. Precious stuff ! bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0… via @bbciplayer

⚠️primal violin sounds⚠️
these bones
'extraneous' violin noises, slowed x4, x8, x16. Sharp attacks become growls, roars; breathy/toneless strokes gain harmonics halos; bow clicks become deep drums.
(oh and some bass notes)

Am so happy to share this new collaboration, released today.
It was a joy to play my part within this amazing team. We bonded over a desire to create something from a shared artistic impulse, which took shape during some memorable & open-hearted conversations during lockdown.
Over the last few months, we’ve been collaborating with @ScotEnsemble to bring you a new creation: these bones, this flesh, this skin.
We’re excited to announce that this new digital platform is now LIVE!

There are many combinations of music and film to layer up & explore, thanks to Ronan McMacken's digital design (boundary.io) and Ian Beveridge's software development (kupio.com).
A lot of avenues were explored in the making of this project, and I hope the intense curiosity that fuelled us shines through.

I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure about anything. And there are many things I don't know anything about. It doesn't frighten me!
Beautiful Ligeti / Abrahamsen / Benjamin nexus. A privilege to take part in the celebrations. I loved Harrison Birtwistle’s invocation to the musicians - “Keep practising !” xitter.cf/ldn_sinfonietta/status…
