I've been at a point with work where I could really, really use an admin assistant, but I'm also terrified of handing off emails and my calendar/diary to anyone that's not myself. Has anyone else experienced this, and maybe know how to take the plunge and delegate?

Many thanks to Juliet Fraser and eavesdropping.london for the chance to talk about my work and what I'm bringing to my upcoming eavesdropping festival performance at @cafeotodalston.bsky.social on 28 March! Podcast link below includes a text transcription. m.soundcloud.com/eavesdroppin...

Glasgow friends, recommendations for recording studios in Glasgow for classical music?? Particularly for operatic vocals, which need a slightly bigger room size to accommodate volume. This would be for a pretty hefty recording project (voice and electronics) in the second half of July. Thank you!! 🙏🏼

Working behind the scenes on some projects, but here are a couple of March shows I have in Edinburgh and London. Save the dates if you're in town! 📸 by Post Coal Prom Queen

(1/3) Here are some clips from our workshop sessions this past weekend for Speaking Towards One Another, using wearable tech to generate sound with sign language! Here, Yuki is triggering sound as she completes the sign for "chain".

Excited to host new project Speaking Towards One Another by @slampreasoprano.bsky.social, ‬Yuki Neoh, Oana Stanciu, @jenbitespeople.bsky.social, @annekjaer.bsky.social in Inspace in 2025. Stayed tuned for updates on this exciting project combining #voice, #electronics, #video, #wearable #tech & #BSL

(1/4) New project!! Speaking Towards One Another is a series of concerts + installation for voice, electronics, video, wearable tech & BSL, created by Stephanie Lamprea, Yuki Neoh, Oana Stanciu, @jenbitespeople.bsky.social & @annekjaer.bsky.social www.stephanielamprea.com/speaking-tow...

I'm looking for a BSL interpreter in Edinburgh for some workshops on 18 January (13:00-17:00 with breaks) and 19 January (10:00-17:00 with lunch break and smaller breaks). Anyone available who can help me out? If so, please comment or send a DM so we can discuss fee and logistics. Thank you!!!

Starting off the new year with an improvised performance with dance artist @annekjaer.bsky.social for the rad series Baked Beans on the Doorstep. If you're in Glasgow on 15 January, swing by The Old Hairdressers to see us perform some frenzied vocals, electronics, and movement! Tickets PWYC. 🔌🎶👯‍♀️🎙️

Amazing @anntelnaes.bsky.social has left the Washington Post because they tried to kill her cartoon with tech/media billionaires including Bezos bowing to Trump; here is her Substack words and cartoon sketch. Imagine more in media having this courage against media power mongers endangering democracy

Bought a copy of @amaler.bsky.social 's book, Seeing Voices, and it's mind-blowing. So well written, describes the history & innovations of sign-language music, and sheds new light on music theory, voice theory, language embodiment, and intersections of art forms. 🎶🧏🏻‍♀️✨ global.oup.com/academic/pro...

'Tis the season for reposting my silly singing video of Christmas alla Berio. Happy holidays, friends! 🎄

Practicing quartertones and semitones on several fragile sounds (breathy, inhaled, full, etc) today in Rebecca Saunders' The Mouth. This piece uses multiple microphones to amplify the voice, but finding colours in the voice acoustically helps me stay connected to my body when I use mics later on. 💁🏻‍♀️🎙️

Sharing this once more because I'm still searching for a BSL translator to help me out with a project! I have one poem in written English that I need translated into BSL by mid-January. Anyone free to help me out??? If so, please send me a message with your fee and availability. Thank you!!!!

Friends who use British Sign Language (BSL)! I am looking for someone to translate a poem from English to BSL for a project. This would be paid work. I need the translation by beginning of January. With the holidays, this is quick turnaround time, but if anyone can help out, I would appreciate it! ☺️

first bsky post! Just published this live recording of "content" for sax & electronics. This is a huge and crazy piece about the Internet, for the incredible David Zucchi & recorded at its premiere 2 weeks ago. Really happy with this one. More info in the video description youtu.be/q2cILptIN34

Score-reading a work today that's been on my bucket list for a while! Rebecca Saunders' 'The Mouth' for voice and electronics explores 'the threshold between two words, the interior and exterior...' (Saunders) I'm performing this in Spring 2025 in Glasgow & Edinburgh - more info in the new year!

Save the date! In March, I perform for eavesdropping festival at @cafeotodalston.bsky.social ! I'll sing a new work by @ambleskuse.bsky.social (co-funded by eavesdropping, Hope Scott Trust & #RCSMakeItHappen) & works by Lisa Robertson & Erin Thomson Details: www.eavesdropping.london/activity/fes...

Sang my last concert of 2024 in a beautiful programme curated by @illumwomensmusic.bsky.social . Such a pleasure to perform five new works by Sonia Allori @simoneseales.bsky.social Kate Sagovsky, Rūta Vitkauskaitė and @angelascomposer.bsky.social plus a recent work by @emilydoolittle.bsky.social !

Made fish pie this evening! 🐟

Looking for the perfect holiday gift? My book, Seeing Voices: Analyzing Sign Language Music, is now available! And if you use the code AUFLY30 you can get it for 30% off here: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Feels pretty surreal to have completed this degree. Thank you @rcsofficial.bsky.social and @uniofstandrews.bsky.social for everything. And thank you to my family for travelling across the world to support me on this day! 💕

Graduation day at @uniofstandrews.bsky.social for @rcsofficial.bsky.social doctoral degree in Performing Arts! 🎓😊

Coming up in Oxford on 5 December: I’m performing a newer version of Rob Laidlow’s Post-Singularity Songs at @jesusoxford.bsky.social ! This work is a creation myth from a speculative post-human world, with text derived from custom-made AI language models... www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/singularit...

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. John Rutter: Let's take this cup up a semitone.

Excited to announce that I've been selected for the 2024 @rcsofficial.bsky.social Make It Happen Fund! The award will support me, @ambleskuse.bsky.social , and actor Yuki Neoh in creating new work for voice, live electronics, and British Sign Language! #RCSMakeItHappen www.rcs.ac.uk/news-stories...

Fabulous thread! 🧵😁

Singer friends, I've booked a vocal massage for myself tomorrow and it's my first time getting one specifically for the larynx/jaw/neck etc. I'm a bit nervous. Have any of you had a massage like this? Has it been helpful, or hindering? I could use a bit of encouragement with this. 😊🙏🏼

Making some warm ratatouille for this cold Glasgow evening ✨

On this very snowy day in Glasgow, here's a peek at my first newsletter! Content includes two concerts in Oxford & Glasgow, some books on post-human feminism, and info on projects and collaborators I'll be working with for my post-doc at @iashedinburgh.bsky.social ! mailchi.mp/159de955d247...

I'm picking back up my long-neglected newsletter! I'll share the usual things like upcoming concerts and recordings, but I'll also share more artist-journal content, like music I'm working on, books I'm reading for research, latest favourite artists, video games, TV, etc. mailchi.mp/a5e8ffba881c...

Lauren Sarah Hayes is the most exciting person working in #computermusic (I think). Complete command of her instruments improvising inventive and uncompromising noise-y but melodic mutant pop. #computermusicfeed Here's Moon Via Spirit from 2020 youtu.be/BzSRs_7S9cg?...

One of my favourite people @annekjaer.bsky.social is now on BlueSky, and I recommend everyone give her a follow! Her dance and interdisciplinary work is unreal⚡ She's in Glasgow, so any Scotland theatre/dance packs are appreciated! 🎥 Kate Soper's Ipsa Dixit w Anne💃🏼 myself🎙️ & Feargus Hetherington🎻

Hi friends! I'm looking for modern translation & pronunciation guides to a couple of poems by Alexander Scott. Anyone here have experience w reading or pronouncing medieval Scots who can help me out? I can send an email with the poems I'm working with, or meet up in Glasgow or Edinburgh. Thank you!!

This was a fantastic project to sing in! As a neurodivergent babe, it was exhilarating to sing about experiences shared by millions in the community. Plus the MiMU gloves were a bonus! 😁🌈♾️ Video shows music by @ambleskuse.bsky.social libretto by @jenbitespeople.bsky.social w #CityofLondonSinfonia
