Without Barlines: Notation and Scoring Ideas (or: Dealing with One-‘Note’ Music)
http://withoutbarlines.blogspot.com/2014/04/notation-and-scoring-ideas-or-dealing.html
Taking a non-partitioned look at musical life. Notation and Scoring Ideas (or: Dealing with One-‘Note’ Music). Most significantly the call made me think carefully about developing features of my work that I simply haven’t got round to scrutinising in any particularly useful way. What follows is, roughly speaking, the mental journey I’ve subsequently taken and, I hasten to add, not finished. What is a musical idea? A sound or series of sounds (what often gets called ‘material’)? What is musical notation?

Without Barlines: Some thoughts on open notation and late-stage collaboration

Without Barlines: Space for Music
http://withoutbarlines.blogspot.com/2013/10/space-for-music.html
Taking a non-partitioned look at musical life. The ever-decreasing space I’ve had for music. Lately I’ve been both fortunate and unfortunate in equal measure. I’ve taken up a new job – an exciting and stimulating job that has me working in the music industry full-time; I’ve managed to find myself a new home; I’m working on a commission from the London Sinfonietta.

Taking a non-partitioned look at musical life. Review: 'A Whispered Shout' (or Beer, Sandwiches and Experimental Music). Last weekend (3 August) I had the pleasure of experiencing A Whispered Shout.
