Justin Wright
Justin Wright is a composer with a particular interest in location-specific music. His research in the High Arctic has involved improvisatory cello performances in remote Arctic locations in Svalbard, as well as compositions engaging with early Arctic exploration, whaling, and climate change. He is currently editing a short film of his Arctic performances and developing a live performance that models the acoustics of Paleolithic caves and other environments in a live setting. As a former molecular biology researcher, Justin is keen on revisiting scientific approaches and exploring novel ways to incorporate them into his composition practice.
