I had the delight of getting a sneak preview of this album. It's really beautiful, perfect for a slow Sunday morning with a hot cup of coffee. (Not that I remember the last time I had a slow Sunday in this delightfully chaotic life.) Totally recommend checking it out!

"a novel, invigorating experience...wild ephemeral transformations...Edvard Greig-inspired repose...a final ebullient Bartok-style Hoolie"

This!! Especially the point about how student loans affect women worse than men. Please read! I was the generation whose fees were paid and I even got a small (and decreasing) grant each year. Education should be free!!!

Yesterday I payed off my student loan, whilst I’m pleased, it’s worth highlighting what a ridiculous and frankly shameful situation student loans have become.
A🧵 below on how student loans have become a money making racket, its long term problems and alternatives:

Shamelessly using #InternationalWomensDay as an excuse to write about my favourite composers!
Today: a round up of some major new works coming up this year, from Hannah Kendall, Clara Iannotta, Lisa Streich and others...

A total joy to put strings on @Highasakite’s version of @Matoma’s song for Hver Gang Vi Møtes, on TV from 1st Jan. Great music, lots of crying & stunning scenery #kjerringøy.
