		<description><![CDATA[My trip to Venice in October 2011 was in order to attend the premiere of my Concertino, which was written earlier in the year for the Ex Novo Ensemble. The concert took place at the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello where I had been a student of Rubin de Cervin and Sinopoli for one year in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An extraordinary day, yesterday, because of a remarkable dream in the afternoon. I drifted off to sleep after lunch, as I often do, but this time it was a long sleep of perhaps two hours. In the dream I heard the end of the piece I am working on and it was very different to what I [...]]]></description>

Anyway, we had to finish whatever bad-smelling rubbish they put on our plates. And once, one end of a trestle table we were sitting at collapsed and all the plates slid off on to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the summer I worked on a piece for Chinese instruments. It was a frustrating time, just reading about them and listening to recordings, yet not knowing the nuts and bolts in terms of tuning, range and fingering etc. I couldn’t compose with certainty. The sounds of Chinese instruments are absolutely beautiful, however the issue [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How often have I written here “Listen to your feelings”. The statement is an echo of one I learned from a very wise man. So I felt very good and also very bad in the Cologne churches and these feelings are telling me that the Church is very important to me. In one church, delighted with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hamish is my closest friend, albeit a fairly grumpy one. He has seen much of my joy and sorrow and commented on nearly all of what he has seen. There has been plenty of laughter along the way. It is now over 20 years since I left Edinburgh but the connection with him has grown stronger, not weaker. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have just returned from a trip to Cologne. It was uplifting and even an inspiration. I decidedly did NOT want to go, as I am about as enthusiastic a traveller as your average cat…….yet, when I am dragged unwillingly somewhere, like some moaning moggy, I frequently find I interact with the new environment at quite [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The news of the death of my colleague and friend, the harpsichordist Annelie de Man, arrived today in a letter from her husband, the composer Roderik de Man. Let me say something about what I most admired about Annelie. She was a first rate musician, a world class harpsichordist. I loved the way she could [...]]]></description>

He wasn&#8217;t a student but was that sort of age. He’d left school and was already working. I was cheating on my partner, who lived in another city far away, [...]]]></description>

This had not only brought me to the park  -  I couldn’t decide where to walk  -  but it was also guiding me around it. Naturally there are many different [...]]]></description>
