Profiles
Louis d’Heudieres graduated from King’s College London in 2009 with a 1st in Music, specialising in composition and winning the Purcell Prize. He now works as a freelance composer, sound designer, and music teacher.
As a composer Louis has built a varied portfolio spanning several different media, including music for theatre and film, sound design, live improvisation, electroacoustic music, experimental electronic and contemporary classical music. His works have been performed by the Lontano Ensemble and his first opera was premiered at Grimeborn Festival 2010. In March 2011 he was sound designer for Daisy Evans’ Silent Opera project, showcased as part of the Old Vic Young Voices ‘Coming Up’ programme in London.
His current work aims to explore the new means of musical interactivity and expression afforded by the increasingly complex electronic devices and processes available to us today. Recently he has collaborated with fellow composer Tom Byrne, writing a series of pieces for prepared instruments and live electronics.
He starts a Masters course in composition at the Royal College of Music this September.
