Meet the artists behind our upcoming release, celebrating a diversity of creative practices across the UK music scene.
Lottie Sadd
Lottie Sadd is a Leeds-based interdisciplinary composer and artist creating immersive performances and installations. Informed by ideas of ritual and traditional Eastern aesthetics, her practice centres around process and themes of becoming and interconnectedness. Lottie’s work moves through forms of improvisation, field-recordings, and text, inviting audiences outside the traditional object-centric process and into a more dynamic experience.
Sasha Scott
Sasha Scott is a composer and violinist from London creating work which fuses the worlds of classical and electronic music. Currently studying composition with Mark-Anthony Turnage at the Royal College of Music, Sasha’s work has been performed by major ensembles such as the Aurora Orchestra and BBC Concert Orchestra in venues including Cadogan Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Saatchi Gallery.
Yorgo Stenos
Yorgo is a sonic scavenger; a full-time explorer of hardware stores, kitchens and junkyards in quest for noise-making treasures. A writer and performer of experimental music, his work involves a combination of home-brewed noise makers, micro-percussion, amplified objects, turntables and electronics. His practice also extends into audiovisual works, installations and music for instruments and fixed media.
Spindle Ensemble
Rooted in spontaneity and improvisation, Spindle Ensemble create captivating sonic soundscapes in an innovative take on contemporary classical music. Formed in Bristol in 2016, the ensemble is led by composer and pianist Daniel Inzani and features tuned percussionist Harriet Riley, cellist Jo Silverston and violinist Caelia Lunniss. Their deft musicianship and unique instrumentation enables them to explore a variety of sound worlds, captivating audiences with their originality and innovative approach.
Sophie Fetokaki
Combining voice, poetry, and detailed research to create site-specific installations and music, Sophie Fetokaki is a composer and performer currently based in Cyprus. Often taking inspiration from themes such as desire, language and ceremony, Sophie’s work is largely centred around the frame of duration and collective movement through time.
Samuel Sharp
Quirky controllers and live electronics meet western classical instruments in the music of composer-musician Samuel Sharp. Using saxophone and other acoustic instruments alongside live electronic manipulation, Samuel creates innovative soundscapes that blur the lines between minimalist classical, jazz and electronic music.
