Lauren Redhead

Lauren Redhead is a composer, performer, and musicologist. Many of her compositions published by Material Press (Berlin), presented internationally at new music festivals, and her most recent albums have been released on the pan y rosas discos label (Chicago). As a composer she is interested in notation and materiality, increasingly using a combination of experimental approaches to the creation of scores and electronic materials, and improvisation, to realise her projects. As a performer of music for organ and electronics, Lauren works in a duet with Alistair Zaldua. Together they present works that focus on interactivity between the two instruments and commission new considerations of the organ in space, and of notation for their combination. Lauren writes about the aesthetics and socio-semiotics of 20th and 21st Century musics, and about the phenomenon of practice research. She is Senior Lecturer in 20th and 21st Century Music at Goldsmiths, University of London.
