Simon McCorry

Simon has been creating music and sound design for theatre & contemporary dance for 20 years, working with companies such as Headlong, Old Vic Productions, Tiata Fahodzi, House of Absolute, Javaad Alipoor Company & Fabula Collective. He is an accomplished cellist and uses the instrument in his own work often processing & combining it with electronics. More recently he has concentrated on his own solo output with performance & recording under his own name. His work has been described as “electro- orchestral drone-scapes of, by turns, gauzy intimacy and soaring grandeur” MOJO, “a wonderful mix of thought and feeling, of seeing how far you can push the musical form, where the lines of demarcation lie and what happens when you step over them” Dancing About Architecture, “its gentle face is rife with real wounds, a work cast in human imperfection, resulting in a genuinely emotional listen” DAAM. Being of mixed British/Indian ethnicity & recently diagnosed with epilepsy these experiences inform & guide his practice, exploring themes of otherness and fragility.
