Anna Meredith is a composer, producer and performer of both acoustic and electronic music. Her sound is frequently described as ‘uncategorisable’ and ‘genre-defying’ and straddles the worlds of contemporary classical, art pop, soundtracks, electronica, installations and experimental rock.
Her CV includes being Composer in Residence at the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, commissions for the First and Last night of the BBC Proms and countless performances and commissions with leading orchestras and ensembles across the globe.
Her installation pieces include interactive works for dodgems, lifts, sleep pods and a zamboni ice clearing machine.
She has released numerous albums including Varmints (winner of the SAY Award) and FIBS (shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and named Electronic Sound’s Album of the Year) and regularly tours with her 5-piece band. Their live show has been described as ‘sheer exhilaration’ by the New York Times, and as ‘a stormy, ecstatic, endlessly danceable thrill to behold…’ by NPR’s Bob Boilen. They have collaborated with multiple orchestras to perform arrangements of Anna’s material for band and orchestra.
Her film and TV scoring work includes Eighth Grade (dir. Bo Burnham, A24), Living With Yourself (dir. Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris, Netflix), HELP (dir. Mark Munden, Channel 4), the BIFA-nominated The End We Start From (dir. Mahalia Belo, Paramount) and TUESDAY (dir. Daina O. Pusic, A24)
She is currently working on her third studio album.
