BIOGRAPHY
Lee Fraser (b. 1981) is an English composer based in Turin, Italy, who works predominantly in the field of electroacoustic music. He has a PhD in electroacoustic composition from the University of Manchester, prior to which he studied with Frank Denyer at Dartington College of Arts and Denis Smalley at City University London. His music dramatises notions of interiority, liminality, and the Outside, and is characterised by an ongoing concern with synthetic sound and complex auditory experiences.
Recent presentations of his work include: Parken, Vienna; Cafe OTO, London; Artissima, Turin; Galeria Duarte Sequeira, Braga; Royal Academy, London; Cripta747, Turin; Radialsystem, Berlin; Sentralen, Oslo; Cut & Splice, Manchester; Darmstadt Summer Course for New Music, Darmstadt; and LUFF, Lausanne. He has been commissioned by the BBC, Distractfold, Ensemble Adapter, Galeria Duarte Sequeira, Royal Academy, and others, and has received numerous awards and acknowledgements for his work, including the Luigi Russolo Grand Prize 2013. Two volumes of his music have been published to date, on Entr’acte (2014) and Ge-stell (2018), and a third is due to be published in 2024 by Cripta747, accompanied by a book of essays from Fraser and other contributors.
