Just uploaded a video of Yshani Perinpanayagam‘s performance of my most recent piece Mr. Turquoise Synth for piano and 1-bit synth. The piece was written for Yshani (who is brilliant) and a synth built by Blake Troise (aka PROTODOME):

‘Mr. Turquoise Synth’ @ Turner Sims
On Monday 8 May at Turner Sims the fantastic Yshani Perinpanayagam will play my newest piece, Mr. Turquoise Synth, as part of her Piano Play: Power Up programme. The concert, which is part of the University of Southampton Music Department Professional lunchtime concert series, also features works by Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Southampton PhD composer Blake Troise (aka PROTODOME). Each of the pieces engages in some way with the sounds and tech of retro-gaming.
Full details here.
Here’s a short video of my piece from the rehearsal at Kammer Klang on Tuesday:

Ret Frem perform ‘Attention Deficit’ – 14 May 2017
I’m delighted that brand new group Ret Frem Ensemble, led by Will Handysides, will perform my 2014 work Attention Deficit, for clarinet, violin, ‘cello and piano on 14 May at Haunt in Stoke Newington. They’ve chosen this work from their recent call for scores. Music and brunch at the same time sounds like a good combination and the other repertoire (Berio, Nikiporenko, Matthew Hall & Perotin) looks great. More details here.
