COMPOSER
CURATOR
Alex Groves
Alex Groves is an Ivor Novello-nominated composer and curator working across contemporary classical and electronic music. Taking inspiration from queer club culture, abstract art and the natural world, his music often combines classical instrumentalists with live-processed electronics to create richly-detailed and all-consuming soundworlds.
DANCE SUITE out now
on NMC Recordings
Following performances in Bradford and London for the New Music Biennial, the live recording of DANCE SUITE is now available on NMC Recordings. A Baroque suite for the 21st century – it reimagines the original dance forms through the lens of house, techno and hyperpop, creating a love letter to queer clubs and all the lust, love and loathing found on the dancefloor at 2am.
