About Me
Shaun Blezard is a composer and improviser working with digital
technology. Currently his interest lies in smart technology and his playing
is based around an iPhone and iPad. Touch screen technology,
accelerometers and wireless technology are opening up so many
avenues of exploration in music and it is becoming much more like
playing a traditional instrument.
Shaun has been working with digital/electronic music for 20 years,
starting with basic samplers in the 90’s, through various versions of
laptop set ups, fx boards and current smart technology. Starting in the
world of ambient dance, he has evolved into a skilled electronic
musician, playing a range of styles from sound art installations to full on
free improv, pushing for new ways of expression working with new
technologies and how they integrate with traditional instrumentation. He
has played with range of contemporary artists including Matthew
Bourne, Ryoko Akama, Keith Jafratte, Charlie Collins, Kalendar, Anton
Hunter, Mick Beck, Martin Archer, Stephen Grew, Steve Lewis, Seth
Bennett, Susan Matthews and Yoko Miura.
