Jamie Perera is an Asian mixed heritage composer, sound artist and producer from East London. His work is inspired by transformation in the Anthropocene, with themes that juxtapose nature, people, places and timescales. He combines electronic production and contemporary orchestration with field recordings, data, and video.
Through music, performances, installations and workshops he explores grief, radical deconstruction, re-imagining and reclamation. He develops these themes further by collaborating with artists and producers.
He is the first artist to turn 12,000 years of climate data into an immersive orchestral piece with "Anthropocene In C Major". Other notable work includes "Hakuryu", turning cloud data into a space dragon singing with marginalised voices, and "Babel Reclaimed", a tapestry of endangered languages moving around the world. He is credited on over 40 films including winners of the SXSW Documentary Jury Award, The Grierson Award, RTS Award, and BAFTA and EMMY nominations, with mentions in numerous publications including Forbes, WIRED, The Guardian, Pitchfork, and the FT.
