Jonty Harrison is a composer and professor of multichannel ‘acousmatic’ electroacoustic music, with a particular interest in the use of real-world sounds. Many of his compositions are notable for their economic use of source sounds, such as his seminal work ‘Klang’ (1982), which creates a rich gestural composition from just the sounds of an earthenware casserole dish. Over the past 40 years he has taught a number of composers from the UK and overseas, many of whom are now leading figures in the composition and teaching of electroacoustic music themselves. In 1982 he founded BEAST (Birmingham ElectroAcoustic Sound Theatre), which is recognised as one of the leading multi-speaker sound systems for the presentation of acousmatic music (music composed especially for loudspeakers) in the world.
John Richards’ music explores Dirty Electronics focusing on shared experiences, social interaction and critical making. He primarily uses self-built electronic circuits, some of which have been released as a series of hand-held synths on Mute Records. His work pushes the boundaries between music, performance art, electronics, and graphic design and is transdisciplinary as well as having a socio-political dimension.
Dulcis Ensemble are one of the leading independent string ensembles in Lagos, Nigeria. They have collaborated several times with composer/Kora-player Tunde Jegede as part of his Nok Orchestra. They all trained in as classical string musicians in Lagos Nigeria. They are briefly visiting London in 2022, and this will be their only offiicial London performance this year.
