Jamie Perera, Composer, sound artist and producer
Jamie Perera is an Asian mixed heritage composer, sound artist and producer from East London. His work is inspired by transformation in the Anthropocene, with themes that juxtapose nature, people, places and timescales. He combines electronic production and contemporary orchestration with field recordings, data, and video.
Through music, performances, installations and workshops he explores grief, radical deconstruction, re-imagining and reclamation. He develops these themes further by collaborating with artists and producers.
Perera’s collaborations and commissions include a diverse range of organisations and people including The Serpentine, The Royal College of Art, Forma Art, Wild Alchemy Lab, The Guardian, Financial Times, European Space Agency, RNCM, Erased Tapes Records, Crossover Labs, Amnesty International, Anil Seth, Marcus Du Sautoy, and Lubomyr Melnyk.
