25 years ago, I composed the BBC News (UK) Theme Tune, which is broadcast around the world everyday. From the precise beeps of time to the powerful bass and dramatic drums for the headlines. This how I did it… #BBC #BBCNewsThemeTune #MusicProduction #Composer #SoundDesign #25Years

I am sad to learn of the death of Alfred Brendel. This great musician, of deserved world-wide fame, generously bothered to turn his 1993 interview for my local radio show into an unforgettable Beethoven masterclass. Here, he gets to the heart of Schubert. Rest in peace. #music
