Professor Elemental - I'm British

Something I wrote for Storycollider, the science storytelling night. 

It's the story of recording my first piece for BBC TV as a science presenter, on the UK's tallest rollercoaster. 

Warning: contains screaming.

Professor Elemental - Hat Full Of Sunshine (feat. Sadie Jemmett)

Andrew asked on Twitter for people to send over jingles for his early 2010 BBC 6 Music show - which was usually with Richard Herring but for a couple of weeks was co-hosted with Michael Legge. 

I've written jingles for Michael before (see Precious Little Podcast jingle) and I met Andrew in Edinburgh last year so I thought I'd send one in. Apparently they played it rather a lot on the last day of Michael's co-hosting. So that was nice.

Collins & Legge BBC 6 Music jingle

I've just re-recorded this today as the original was proper dodgy...

Precious Little Podcast theme tune

We've just started a podcast of our sensational sell-out science/comedy show, Festival of the Spoken Nerd. It has bits of the live show mixed with extra bits recorded in the studio with me, Matt Parker and Steve Mould - and - of course - extra time for the questions we didn't get time to answer during the actual show. This is the first ukulele-based theme tune, in a blues style, I expect it will go through other incarnations for future shows.

Festival of the Spoken Nerd "Extra Time For Questions" podcast theme

Friday 7th October was Ada Lovelace Day, a worldwide celebration of women in science, technology, engineering and medicine. It's named after the author of the first computer programme, and daughter of the wayward Lord Byron. The day has live events and a lovely big website, giving everyone a chance to write something about an inspiration woman, whether a well known celebrity, an obscure figure, or just a personal tribute.
I wrote this song about 9 months ago, for a mini-musical about time travelling coffee shops which featured Ada as a character. The mini-musical remains mini (as in, unfinished) but I've recorded this version as my contribution to Ada Lovelace Day 2011.

This Much I Know (extended version) Feat. Al The Native

Finally, I have got around to recording the song I wrote for Storytellers Club back in March. Hosted by the brilliant Sarah Bennetto, it's one of the best regular comedy events of all time, monthly at the Pleasance in Islington, every August at the Edinburgh Fringe and at various musical festivals around the UK.

This is probably the theme tune I am most proud of, out of every one I've ever tried to write. People clapped and sang along! I re-wrote one of the verses in the interval and inserted the audience's stories from that night! I didn't mess it up completely even though it was written in cryptic biro squiggles on recycled paper!

Sarah can be found lighting up various rooms around London and on twitter.com/sarahbennetto
