Busy busy. Again. Yeah!

Am just beginning a new additional composition project for Discovery Channel - a film about dinosaurs which is a lot of fun to do. Also juggling uni stuff and the new musical so a hectic few weeks for yours truly. I should make it with a little help form Dr Caffeine.

Just seen that the Tom and Jerry clip on Youtube has passed 8 million hits (woo hoo!).

Concerto, Hols in Tunisia, Orchestration Work...

.... yes, I do pack it in. One of these days I will write a blog about NOT being maniacally busy....

Oops. I also notice I seem to have not blogged for March. Chuh. Quick recap....

Following a two day break in Budapest with one of my oldest and bestest of friends Simon, I was REALLY hectic in March with Juggling uni stuff and a concerto commission for Tenor Horn and Brass band. Finally completed that just yesterday - a big job of work, but very pleased to write something in 'my voice'.

Also had a weeks holiday in Tunisia - I was staying in Sousse (third biggest city - beach resort-y type thing) but took a two day trip out to El Jem (Huge Amphitheatre where they filmed Gladiator) and to the Sahara where I rode a camel! Called Mohammed. Also saw Tunis and Carthage - I will claim it is research for a piece I'm working on.

Also in March I did some orchestration stuff for the BBC working with the BBC Concert Orchestra - good band and always great to work for the lovely and talented Richard Blair Oliphant whose writing was really brilliant - a really fun project.

I have a TON of catching up domestic admin to do, so I will have to steel myself and get into it.

Next up is a musical theatre project for the Nuffield Theatre, Southampton which I am really looking forward to. I an knackered but I do love my life!
