I travelled to Belgrade in Serbia to attend the screening of Director Lazar Vuković’s (Wolf Entertainment) new documentary about the incredible life of Crown Prince Alexander.

I composed the music for this documentary, including arranging the beautiful and haunting Tamo Daleko song for piano and viola, which opens the film.

I also had the unexpected pleasure of meeting the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Katherine at the Royal Palace, before heading to the Yugoslav Film Archive with them to see the finished film, beautifully Directed by Lazar Vukovic.

Belgrade itself is a brilliant, surprising place. I probably spent far too much time recording trams, trains and general street noise, and not nearly enough time doing “proper” sightseeing. Turns out I’m still happiest standing on a street corner pointing a microphone or camera at whatever rattles past…

This Steinway Upright has a silver pressure bar in the treble section only. Seems to have a repuation for making it difficult to tune. Any advice on whether these bars should be loosened prior to tuning – please leave a comment below. Thank you.

I wrote these ‘mini songs’ to accompany promotional videos of rescued dogs in Romania desperate for homes. These dogs have been rescued from the shockingly cruel ‘Kill Shelters’ in Romania. They deserve our love and help if we can.
