Stuart Elliott

Biography

I am a composer of acoustic and electronic music, based in the UK. My works are often influenced by mythologies, philosophies, folktales, poetry, and visual arts relating to the natural world. Particular areas of interest are microtonality, heterophony, indeterminacy, noise, and the exploration of techniques that create raw and unstable textures.

I have written concert works for ensembles including London Contemporary Orchestra, EXAUDI vocal ensemble and the Guildhall Symphony Orchestra.

I have a Master of Music in composition from Goldsmiths, University of London, having previously graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama with a Bachelor of Music (Honours) in composition. I will soon be undertaking a PhD on the themes of microtonality and heterophony.
