Professor Piers Hellawell

School of Arts, English and Languages

I am an acoustic composer with over 60 works in the public domain, published by Peters Edition. My particular interest is in experimental layouts across instrumental compositions, in viable harmonic discourses and in the re-sizing of one musical entity onto different temporal scales. Recent works have thus explored a ‘Russian Doll’ design, with multiple movements magnifying a shared material that reveals more detail in longer iterations. My work to date is entirely for acoustic forces.
