I love my bike. My favourite kind of gig is one involving bicycles and music in any way. And... one's coming up! Exeter Library's bike day, Saturday 8th August. At 11am bring your bike to play Trevor Wishart's Bicycle Music. And there will be more bicycle music following. Ting-ting!
Happy to be part of @citiesandmemory.bsky.social Spring Project. Great collection of filed recordings and reimagined works from them. Here's a link to my piece map.citiesandmemory.com/maps/point/3... original recording of St Sulpice in #paris #newmusic #experimentalmusic #fieldrecordings
