BIO
Sam Longbottom is a Manchester-based composer making experimental music with found, homemade, and traditional instruments. His installation work explores the imperfect, unusual and unexpected sounds of automated systems and acoustic instruments, of mechanising glitches and peripheral noises.
His music has been featured at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Aldeburgh Festival, in Nonclassical concerts at the Southbank Centre and St John’s Church, London, and broadcast on BBC’s New Music Show. He has previously been a Britten Pears Young Artist, a Manchester Camerata Ruth Sutton Fellow and worked with artists and groups including Angarhad Davies, The House of Bedlam, and CoMA.
