  • Discussing ‘Skybound’ with Laurent Ziliani
    Dec 22 2025

    Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, where I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.

    Pianist and composer Laurent Ziliani wrote Skybound as a musical tribute to his good friend, violinist and pilot Ben Powell. Not only is this a gorgeous track, but it really is a wonderful tribute: this conversation is a perfect one to air just before Christmas. Whenever you listen to this episode, I hope you enjoy it.

    Thanks to Laurent for allowing me to use Skybound alongside our conversation.

  • Getting Christmassy with Jonathan Karrant
    Dec 15 2025

    Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, where I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.

    Jonathan Karrant’s latest album, Christmas Wish, sits nicely alongside his summer 2025 Live in Concert album, both of which feature the marvellous Joe Alterman Trio.

    It was good to discuss music and these wonderful Christmas songs with Jonathan, and I’m grateful to him for allowing me to use clips from Christmas Wish alongside our conversation.

  • Alastair Penman and I discuss ‘The Last Tree’ over a cup of tea
    Dec 8 2025

    Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, where I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.

    I was joined in the Hermitage Road Coffee & Bagel Shop by sax player Alastair Penman, who chatted with me about his latest album, The Last Tree. We also discussed his new project - Sound Earth Collective.

    Alongside our discussions about music, we also discussed the environmental issues that inform both of us. You can find out more on TreeApp, as well as Music Declares Emergency.

    Thanks to Alastair for allowing me to use clips from The Last Tree alongside our conversation.
