Jessica Curry is a composer for games, virtual worlds and unusual real-world spaces. Her work incorporates traditional orchestration fused with samples, loops and digital technology. Her compositions mix an urban, modern edge with a haunting and ephemeral yearning – one which is deeply embedded in the very particular spirit of English classical music. Curry has exhibited internationally and has received commissions, residencies, grants and awards from organisations such as the Royal Opera House, The Wellcome Trust, Prix Ars Electronica, The Royal Society of Arts, PRSF, Location One New York, and Arts Council England. She was the first ever Artist in Residence at the New Media Centre at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London. Her latest game soundtrack for Dear Esther was an award winner at Indiecade 09, Los Angeles. NEWS My new piece Perpetual Light: Requiem for an Unscorched Earth, is premiering at Greenham Common in September, with further performances at Gravesend Nuclear Bunker in October. It's going to be a really powerful work, something very different set in extraordinary spaces, so I urge you to book now, as the venues have very limited capacity. Click here to download the e-flyer, or go to www.perpetual-light.com for more information. My film, i carry your heart, played in Edinburgh last month as part of Annuale: Festival of Independent Practice. It is now showing at the wonderful, unique gallery El Tanque, Tenerife, in their current show La Isla Emocional. Do go and experience it if you get the chance. I'm also delighted to report that I've been selected for this year's Adopt a Composer scheme. More details shortly... You can read an interview with me in M Magazine, talking about composing for nuclear bunkers, games and about various digital collaborations here Earlier this year I was selected for the PRSF New Music Incubator. I spent a wonderful, hugely productive week in Sweden and the participating Swedes come to London soon for the second phase of the residency. We will be performing on the 5th September at Cafe Oto, so watch this space. You can vote for our panel at SXSW here. All support appreciated.
