Attracted coverage from Simon Roper — linguist, historian and one of YouTube's most respected voices on language and culture. Also featured in London Daily News in the context of the world's first musical instrument for laryngectomy patients.

Piano Suite in B♭ Major: A Day In The Ordinary

A quaint film shot in 2022 off the back of the whimsical Piano Suite in B♭ by Ted Riley — thereafter called A Day in the Ordinary after the film was made. Directed and shot by street photographer Ryan O'Meara, a longstanding friend of Ted's from when they worked together at Sony Music until 2023.

The film centres on scenes in East London, offering a street photographer's character portraits of everyday life. Aiming for the romantic and whimsical, it frames these characters in a warm light — inviting the viewer to bathe in the beauty and longing of simplicity in the day to day.
