Simon Bookish: Terry Riley Disco (Max Tundra Remix)

Leo Chadburn is a London-based composer whose unpredictable work includes music for ensembles, music for film and installation art, and solo performances that merge his voice with electronic music. It has been broadcast on BBC Radio 1, 3 and 6 Music. His discography includes seven solos albums, the most recent of which are the spoken word and drone piece The Subject / The Object (2020) and the acclaimed Slower / Talker (2021). 

He was previously also known by the pseudonym Simon Bookish, under which guise he released a sequence of albums of subversive “avant-pop”, alongside remixes for artists including Grizzly Bear, Owen Pallett and Serafina Steer.
 
Much of Leo’s work from the last decade is preoccupied with the musicality of speaking voices. These include Five Loops for the Bathyscaphe (2017) written for the Britten Sinfonia and English Dancing Master (2023) for Phaedra Ensemble. He won an Ivor Novello Award for his piece Freezywater, written for Apartment House, and was nominated for a second award for Affix Stamp Here, written for EXAUDI.
 
His collaborative work with visual artists includes projects with Cerith Wyn Evans (Irish Museum of Modern Art), Marianna Simnett (Serpentine Gallery), Richard Grayson (Matt's Gallery), Jennet Thomas (Grundy Gallery) and Jasleen Kaur (V&A).
