Jonathan Parry (b. 1956) has performed at festivals throughout Europe, played in performances on both Channel 4 and Radio 3 and his music has been heard on Radio 1 and released on Rough Trade and Klangalerie Records. He was a composer for the group Regular Music who worked alongside Michael Nyman in the 1980’s, and a member of the experimental group George W Welch who pioneered pieces by Gavin Bryars, John White and Erik Satie. He studied music at Royal Holloway College, London University, with Brian Dennis as composition tutor - and at Sheffield University for a post-graduate research degree, with Peter Hill as tutor ('New uses of tonal harmony in recent music' 1984) . He is the originator of 'Musical Translation' (the ability to translate frequency into different harmonic and melodic patterns) and has developed a new rhythmic style based on 'Harmonic Beats'.  His compositions defy genre, ranging from simple songs to extended compositions exploring these original techniques, but he has recently focused more on a classical style since 2020 with 3 sonatas for piano and 2 orchestral pieces 'The Mantra Device' and 'A Fresh attempt on the Mountain (Ein neuer Prüfung am Berg').
