ABOUT

AMANDA STUART

MMUS LGSM PGCE GMUS ALCM

I studied Music at Anglia Ruskin University before completing a Master of Music in Creative Music Technology at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. My work was recognised internationally when I received the Pauline Oliveros Prize for Electro-Acoustic Media (IAWM Search for New Music, 2015) for Song of the Trees. In recent years, I have expanded my practice beyond music & soundscapes, experimenting with digital painting and developing immersive video landscapes from my artwork and photography.
