Our music video has just won Best Post Production and VFX 2026 at @kinsalesharkawards in the international category! Itās a massive honour and a huge achievement that wouldnāt have been possible without a team of incredibly talented collaborators.
As some of you know, Imogen and I spent nearly 2 years in post-production, mainly working after hours. So many artists went above and beyond to deliver the best possible results, and I personally learnt so much through the process. It was painful at times but deeply rewarding, and helped me understand that the people you meet along the way are everything really (thanks @alphe.stael for reminding me of that).
Thank you @imogenheap for an unbelievable professional opportunity, endless patience and your faith in me!
Special thanks to @ryanvautier for the most creative vision, and to @zimmmiez for saving the day by stepping in at a moment when I was absolutely desperate.

Feels like a dream, did that gig really happen @roundhouseldn last month?
Here is some more proof: Myself and the brilliant @ireenamnes having a moment to ourselves, improvising with whatever comes.
Absolutely one of my favourite bits of the night, to just be present, with everyone in the room. Not trying to remember lyrics or what the next section is⦠or what chord to move to⦠just to be out of time and space together. Even though we only had a few minutes, it went to places i really enjoyed and it brought out some primal dance moves!
@ireenamnes and I have some plans for more improvised sets starting later this year.
Please follow @himgoneape if you enjoy this side of what Iām starting to do more of. Iām getting the courage slowly, thanks to friends like @ireenamnes , @reggiewatts , @serenepianist , @leoabrahams@nilspettermolvaer this last year or so having extended jams with me.
For decades Iāve been wanting to focus on my improvisation set up and to do these as live public performances, not just at home with pals.
Iāll have to just jump in one day coz thereās always more to do and iāll never be ready whatever!

The lives of my little songs continue to amaze me, how they go into places Iād never expect. Evidently continuing on even years after their release and Just For Now is one that has had such a mad journey.
āSmoked Away My Brainā with @asaprocky and @instaclam is one of these. It came out in 2023 and when people go to DSPs to listen to my music this one often comes up first as itās had over a billion plays! So for fun last week @roundhouseldn the band and I did a little musical coda after Just For Now (which it samples) and used the sample from āSmoked away my brainā to sing my own version, singing (and reading!) Asapās lyrics. Hereās the result!

@roundhouseldn are you ready?!
Iāve been rehearsing non stop for the show this Friday, reinventing my songs and plotting some twists for you all.
Itās going to be a special one so hereās the lowdown for the night to make sure you donāt miss anything:
šŖ Doors open at 6:45PM
š¶ The incredible @geoaghinea kicks things off at 7:30 PM
ā³ Our interval is super short and there might be a surprise during Geoās set so donāt be late!
šļø Our merch shop will have CDs, vinyls, DVDs, books, tote bagsā¦Old and new rarities that may not be available again!
The @mi.mu.gloves are back by popular demand. š§¤āØ
Thought maybe a few other explainer videos could be fun ahead of the @roundhouseldn Camden show?
Also as Iām starting to do some appearances as @himgoneape this year, nice to break down the gear/tech a bit.
Part 1: Loopers. šļø
⨠Some big news āØ
I AM ___, a 14-minute music video I directed, edited and co-produced for Imogen Heap, has been nominated for two Webby Awards ā in the Art & Experimental and Weird categories. Out of 13,000+ entries, only 5 projects made it into each category.
It was a massive collective effort, and it wouldnāt have been possible without a group of incredibly talented artists, the support of Deadbeat Films, and above all, Imogen Heap herself.
As many of you know, Iām currently living in the UK on a temporary protection visa for displaced Ukrainian citizens, and it doesnāt lead to permanent residency. Iām applying for a Global Talent visa to stay here long-term, and a Webby win would be one of the qualifying awards I need to make that happen.
This is the moment Iād like to ask for some support from my community ā it really means a lot to me and my future!
Voting is open now through Thursday, April 16th at 11:59 pm PDT. Itās free and takes about 30 seconds.
