Is A River Alive? is published today, 1 May. It’s about the lives, deaths & rights of rivers—& how our fate flows with that of water & always has. To the people, places & rivers whose ideas run through its pages, thank you so much. I think it’s the book I’ve been learning to write all these years.

big love and many thanks @hannahpeel.bsky.social for playing 'A Requiem' last night on BBC3 Night Tracks. @bbcsounds.bsky.social

How do I self release my music? Isn’t it better to get a label? If I don’t sign will anyone hear my work? All of this explored in my new piece written for the @wearethemu.bsky.social ✨✍️ Read: musiciansunion.org.uk/news/member-...

I heard the trailer for @hannahpeel.bsky.social ‘s new Radio 3 show, brass banding, and it took me right back - Batley Grammar School band, then the Yorkshire Post, then the Albert Hall! Amazing music making, rooted in the community, and open to all. Long live the brass band. 🎺💙🎹

A joy to join my director Christopher Andrews & chat with Edith Bowman on her Soundtracking Podcast🎵🎥 The episode is out today, if you fancy hearing how the score came together #BringThemDown podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

“It seems that nature has devised quantum technology before us…” We’ve been puzzling at the mysteries of avian migration for millennia—the answers now emerging about how migrating birds navigate thousands of miles with pinpoint accuracy are…mind-blowing. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

“There is this terrible misconception that disabled people just take, but actually by taking from us, you prevent us from being able to give – we want to be able to participate in life equally the same as anyone else, and that includes going to work.” Disability campaigner Tanni Gray-Thompson

Also out next month, the story of one home recording studio that launched the careers of several high-profile Sheffield bands by @coldtapfilms.bsky.social. (Had to photograph it next to a Moog Voyager) @manchesterup.bsky.social manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526183231/

“The silence is loud in a different way” How Hannah Peel and Christopher Andrews found the spectral sound of 'Bring Them Down'

Artists release silent album in protest at AI copyright proposals. Under a new UK government law proposal artists would have to actively opt out of allowing their music/voices to be used at will by AI companies. Surely it should be opt in. Thoughts? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

This is my friend of over 30 years, the director Christopher Andrews at the Home cinema in Manchester last night for the first screening / Q+A in his hometown of his feature debut 'Bring Them Down'. It features a brilliant score by @hannahpeel.bsky.social too

I hadn’t realised at the time, but I was delighted to find out that Hannah Peel had broadcast one of my solo instrumental pieces on BBC Radio 3 on 4 December. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #post-minimalist @hannahpeel.bsky.social @bbcradio3.bsky.social

“It's a weekly hour I spend now Noting the changing greens Of his nursing home garden He cannot grasp what it is I played him How a report of bird song Swells into the spaces left between us Sitting here in this, his last enlighted room”

Interesting 🧵 Thanks for sharing @bruceandy.bsky.social
