The Drummer of Tedworth - Sean Noonan's new show.
30th March
A wild, immersive journey blending rock opera and punk-jazz energy, blurring concert, theatre and ritual.
Speaking drummer, composer and rhythmic storyteller turns a 365 year old ghost story into a surreal fantasy epic where drums, voice and orchestra collide.
Mon 30 March 2026 7.30pm
Milton Court Concert Hall,
London, EC27 98H

I read 47 books in 2025. Of my favorites:
“There are Rivers in the Sky” by Elif Shafak - such elegant prose.
“My Friends” by Fredrik Backman - a blend of great characters and nostalgia.
“One Day, Everyone Will Have Been Against This” by Omar El Akkad - a brilliantly brutal rebuke of atrocity and response.
“Of Monsters and Mainframes” by Barbara Truelove - very fun mashup.
“Owls of the Eastern Ice” by Jonathan C Slaight - immersive science and travel to remote Si…

Abstract: Volumetric medical imaging offers great potential for understanding complex pathologies. Yet, traditional 2D slices provide little support for interpreting spatial relationships, forcing users to mentally reconstruct anatomy into three dimensions. Direct volumetric path tracing and VR rendering can improve perception but are computationally expensive, while precomputed representations, like Gaussian Splatting, require planning ahead. Both approaches limit interactive use.
We propose a hybrid rendering approach for high-quality, interactive, and immersive anatomical visualization. Our method combines streamed foveated path tracing with a lightweight Gaussian Splatting approximation of the periphery. The peripheral model generation is optimized with volume data and continuously refined using foveal renderings, enabling interactive updates. Depth-guided reprojection further improves robustness to latency and allows users to balance fidelity with refresh rate.
We compare our method against direct path tracing and Gaussian Splatting. Our results highlight how their combination can preserve strengths in visual quality while re-generating the peripheral model in under a second, eliminating extensive preprocessing and approximations. This opens new options for interactive medical visualization.
