		<title>Current work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently working on a new large scale piece, hence the silence. There will be, at some point, a post on the method used to generate some of the pitches for this piece. For this I used an (shock, horror) algorithm. The instrumentation is: string quartet brass quintet piano, laptop, soprano, electric guitar, and drum [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Harmony</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I made a discovery. For a while I&#8217;ve been working on new ways of looking at harmony, especially with respect to analysing one&#8217;s own harmonic usage. Obviously listening is usually the first step, but I was dissatisfied with the way that we can describe different levels of dissonance or consonance in harmony. For me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arduinos, MIDI and real apps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since it&#8217;s really been a while since I posted here, I&#8217;m going to publish my research on getting an Arduino based interface to talk directly to something else via MIDI. This project could easily be expanded to more complex solutions (i.e. not just two momentary switches), could easily use OSC, channel MIDI data across a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grisey &#8211; An appraisal of Tempus ex machina</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Probably I should introduce this paper, because it will be familiar only to the most hardened contemporary music researcher, at least in the English speaking world. It is Gérard Grisey&#8217;s Tempus ex Machine: A composer&#8217;s reflections on musical time, from Contemporary Music Review, 2:1, pp.239–275. Firstly I think it would be a mistake to think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reflections on Saariaho&#8217;s writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having just finished Kaija Saariaho&#8217;s 1987 paper Timbre and harmony: interpolations of timbral structures, in Contemporary Music Review, 2:1, pp 93–133, I thought it best to commit some of my reactions to it. There are some particular moments of insight, which I&#8217;ll work through in order. Firstly she cites Kandinsky: &#8220;Form is the external manifestation [...]]]></description>
