February madness..

February has been a mad kinda month, with lots of stressful deadlines and a whole new semester of classes! But thankfully I can always find time for fun...


Such as a day trip to Bath with 3 of my lovely friends from Church!

We spend sooo much time in the studios, that now and again, we go a bit mad ;) Here is an example of how my cyprian friends react to MA stress!



Thankfully there is always time for brownie baking!! After a stressful day at the office/studios/music department there is no better way to end the day than baking brownies :D

Oh yeah!!! They were so good, I had to have two!!


Us MA students do enjoy some fine dining!! Here we are with our tutors at some exotic restaurant! Good times!

A long overdue visit to....The London Temple!!



ATLAST! After nearly 6 months of waiting, I made it to the London Temple! A wonderful family from Church gave me a lift and I got to do baptisms for the dead in exchange for looking after their two gorgeous children while they attended a session. What a great day!!

Oh for those who don't know what this is all about, check out wikipeida http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_(Latter_Day_Saints)

Anyway it was a wonderful day and I can't wait to go back!




The London Temple, stunning...

Masters in Music For Film and Television ... jan 2010


Janurary 2010 has been a stressful start to the year... 18 pages of hand written orchestration of Debussy's La Cathedrale Engloutie, followed by endless studio work and then to top it of we composed and recorded one of our compositions with a live orchestra!! stress!!! Anyway here are some rather blurry photos of big event;


We were given a 3 minute video clip to write the music for. The screen in the background is playing the film so that we could cue our music to it.


Just look at this one with your eyes half closed...


Me, conducting with a pencil, how professional!

What would the big event be without at least one poesy picture! ;)
