Overview
In composition, there is no particular house style, but we are well known for a number of areas, including:
- acoustic music, ranging from solo to symphonic scale;
- electro-acoustic, including acousmatic composition, live electronics, and mixed forms with instrument/voice;
- composition exploring the interface of Western and non-Western traditions.
The Music (Composition) programme offered by the University of Bristol also provides access to a wide network of opportunities for professional and amateur performance.
