Paul Newland
Paul Newland is a composer and performer with interests in acoustic, collaborative, interdisciplinary and site-specific work which invites close listening to sound through patterning, extended duration, amplification and slowing of often sparse, pared down material, making use of both traditionally notated and open scores. The work draws on continuing interests in contemporary visual arts, dance and Japanese culture.
His work has been performed internationally by artists such as Apartment House, Arditti Quartet, Asko Ensemble, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Ilan Volkov and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Quatuor Bozzini, London Sinfonietta, and Psappha as well as performances at and broadcasts by BBC Radio 3, Huddersfield
Contemporary Music Festival, Ultima, and Gaudeamus.
He is a founding member of the ensemble [rout] and the free improvising electric guitar duo exquisite corpse (Paul Newland/David Arrowsmith). He has a longstanding creative partnership with choreographer Marina Collard with whom he has generated more than eleven new dance works. He studied composition with Anthony Gilbert and Sir Harrison Birtwistle at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and with Michael Finnissy at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
In 1993 he received the Paul Hamlyn Award for Composition. In 1999 he was awarded a Japanese Government Monbusho Scholarship, and from 1999-2002 he studied in Japan with composer Jo Kondo.
He completed his doctorate in 2005 at Royal Holloway University of London under the supervision of composer Simon Holt.
He has taught composition at Guildhall School of Music since 2006 and was appointed Associate Head of Composition in 2012.
