Jessica Curry is a composer for games, virtual worlds and unusual real-world spaces. NEWS It’s been too long since I updated the website but it’s been an incredibly busy time. The whole website is due for an overhaul but in the meantime here’s what I’ve been up to. Dear Esther has been nominated in four categories at the Independent Games Festival in San Francisco, including the Excellence in Audio category. I'm delighted that my work on the score has been appreciated. Awards ceremony in March so fingers will be crossed until then! Have a look at the gorgeous trailer here. There is also an great review in Edge Magazine, which calls the game "astounding" and writes "the music is integral, it impels you through the game and gives life to the island." Lovely stuff. Dear Esther will be released on Steam on 14th February- add it to your wishlist here. The release of the soundtrack is incredibly exciting for me and you’ll be able to buy it very soon.
I’m also writing the music for two new games by the innovative thechineseroom. These are pretty under wraps at the moment but what I can say is that they’re both incredibly different and a huge amount of fun to work on. New website soon- I promise… ABOUT Curry's 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, Welsh National Opera, 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 large-scale work, Perpetual Light: Requiem for an Unscorched Earth, premiered at the Old Vic Tunnels, London, in June.
