Stevie Wishart

As a composer, performer and improviser Stevie Wishart explores medieval & contemporary extremes, using ancient technologies such as the hurdygurdy, as well as electronic and computer music technologies of our own time. She has composed for early music ensembles including her own group Sinfonye, and also for orchestral and vocal groups. Sometimes working purely acoustically with music notation, sometimes combined with improvisation, and sometimes using computer music systems. She is currently composing a new work for members of Britten Sinfonia with Random Dance and three Ipswich Schools, as well as finishing a two year project developing an interface with specially commissioned sensors and software for solo violin and computer with a recording at the Institute for Music and Acoustics in the ZKM, Germany.

“Driving rhythm,sonorities that are alternatively raucous and seductive, and a focus of music intent which you disregard at your peril”
