Chris Cundy
Playing low, rarified woodwinds and primarily bass clarinet, Chris Cundy explores a music where free improvisation and composition meet, drawing on self-developed playing techniques such as multiphonics, circular breathing, and microtonal voicings.
Recent activities have seen him working in Neolithic landscapes and exploring a number of site-specific sound installation works titled Archaeology of the Ear. In 2023 Chris featured A Sound Map of the Roman Baths in Bath combining a live spatial audio performance beside The Great Bath.
He’s also active in pop music touring internationally with Timber Timbre, Cold Specks, Fyfe Dangerfield, Little Annie, and Devon Sproule, and he sometimes performs contemporary classical works by composers including Thanos Chrysakis, Cornelius Cardew, and Annea Lockwood.
In 2021 Chris featured as solo bass clarinettist alongside the voice of Gillian Anderson in the original motion picture soundtrack Robin Robin (Aardman Animations for Netflix).
