Jamie Perera is a composer, sound artist, and producer from East London. His work questions the idea of the “normal” by placing the present within deep human and planetary timescales, and mapping transformations from extraction to ecology.
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.
