Richard Crow (UK)
is an inter-disciplinary artist, educator and sound designer working in the field of experimental audio research, live performance and site-specific installation. He studied Sonic Arts at Middlesex University (2006) and Music Improvisation in the UK. As a visual and performing artist he has exhibited, performed and presented his work internationally including giving lectures and talks in numerous academic contexts. As an educator he has have been running several workshops on sound and performance, teaching both graduate and postgraduate students how voice and language can be used in text based performance, music improvisation and sound recordings. His workshops are often based on reading texts and creating sound compositions and interventions inspired by or taken directly from them.

He utilises sound and noise in a performative way, for its disruptive and subjective qualities and above all for its psycho-physical implications for the listener and viewer. Over the past two decades his solo and collaborative site-specific installations and performances have consisted of highly conceptualized interventions into base materiality, investigations of alternative systems of organisation and research into a certain material decadence, most notably with the project The Institution of Rot which he co-founded with the writer Nick Couldry in 1992.

Since the mid 80s Crow has collaborated, performed, and recorded with a number of noted experimental musicians and sonic artists including Joe Banks (as Ashenden), Zan Hoffman, Phill Wachsmann, Adam Bohman (as Diastolic Murmurs), Richard Barrett, Furt, The Elision Ensemble,The Hafler Trio, Clive Graham, Michael Prime, Heimo Lattner, Dean Roberts, Kaffe Matthews, Michael Morley (Gate, The Dead C), Sandoz Lab Technicians, dy'na:mo, e-Xplo, Alessandro Bosetti, KREV (The Kingdoms of Elgaland Vargaland), Esther Planas, Gintas K, The Bohman Brothers, Richard Thomas and Aleksander Kolkowski.
