Emily Peasgood — UK New Artists

Emily Peasgood is an Ivor Novello Award winning composer, sound artist and sound sculptor. She creates invitations to connect with people and places that are forgotten, overlooked, or surrounded by histories that can be remembered and celebrated through sound and music. From graveyards, to the public lifts and rubber chickens, her work is diverse, exploring humour and the human condition in equal measure.

She has created work for prestigious galleries and events such as Folkestone Triennial, Tate Modern and Turner Contemporary and has exhibited works in outdoor locations including Fort Burgoyne, Hastings funicular railway, public lifts around the UK, and Cross Bones graveyard in Southwark. She won an Ivors Composer Award for sonic art in 2018 and received her PhD in creating accessible musical artworks in the community in 2019.
