Another new piece.... 
I am composing a new piece for cellist Matt Barley called 'Gold! Red!' to be premiered on 5th June 2007 as part of the Spitalfields festival. I think it might be on the radio too. More details to follow when I've written it....

Easter Tour 
I never got around to saying how brilliant the tour with the Bays and Digitonal was. And to say thank you to all the people who heard the music and gave such an incredible response. Bionic. Twas only a few days but the Bays turned in their usual exceptional sets and it was mighty cool to meet and hear the lovely mesmeric Digitonal live properly. It was such a shame about Koko but the final show in Brighton was a duper mini fest all on its own with the likes of Jon Hopkins, Mixmaster Morris and Tom Middleton creating some beautiful sounds for a packed house. Hope it can all happen again next year........
