As Freezing Fountains

"...One of the year's most refreshing listens" (NME, Gavin Haynes)

Cortical Songs is a work in four movements for string ensemble and solo violin written by John Matthias and Nick Ryan in which the orchestra is partially controlled by a tiny computer brain. 

The album features the String Ensemble of Trinity College of Music, conducted by Nic Pendlebury with the solo violin played by John Matthias and live interactive programming by Nick Ryan.

As well as the four movements of Cortical Songs, the album also includes remixes by Thom Yorke, Simon Tong (Gorillaz / The Good The Bad & The Queen), Simon Jones & Nick McCabe (The Verve), John Maclean (The Beta Band / The Aliens), Gabriel Prokofiev, and others.

23 - Pensando En La Muerte

In this episode of Corona Island Discs, I catch up with another dear university friend, Fran. We talk about her childhood growing up in rural England (and surviving it with the help of a guitar and an innate talent for learning languages), our memories of university and incredibly random travel stories, and why motor sports and David Bowie could be the answer to surviving the COVID-19 crisis.

*Recorded on 03/05/20

uphill journey

I am a London-based composer and pianist and specialise in writing piano music, songs and chamber music for piano and strings. I unashamedly write music that I would choose to listen to, without worrying unduly about categories and trends.

I regularly incorporate these works into chamber music recitals I give with like-minded fellow musicians, usually in London churches.  Recent musical projects have included "Triptych: Arrivals, Ballad and Union" (a trio for the rather unusual combination of violin, trumpet and piano), a piano duet that channels the sound of birds singing above a flowing stream, and a setting of a prayer in the ancient Avestan language for an opera singer who is also a trained Zoroastrian priest. For more information, to buy sheet music or commission new work, visit www.jonathangalton.co.uk

In my other life I am an anthropologist, currently undertaking a three-year postdoctoral research project (2021-24)at University College London funded through a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship, entitled “‘Progressive Islamophilia’ and the British Queer-Muslim intersection”. Previous doctoral research focused on belonging and social identity in a neighbourhood in Mumbai. I also blog about London, Mumbai and a variety of other topics at https://musingsofjonathangalton.wordpress.com/
