Ellie Wilson is a violinist and composer whose work melds contemporary classical, folk, field recordings and electronics. Her output ranges from live performances to immersive sound installations and draws on themes of psychogeography, nature, memories, history, and folklore. Her music has been described as 'reflective, playful and mesmerizing' (Songlines Magazine) and ‘beautifully poised’ (Errollyn Wallen, BBC Radio 3).
Her new piece Moth x Human highlights declining UK biodiversity. Commissioned by Oxford Contemporary Music it captures the ebb and flow of moth activity throughout the night by sonifying data provided by scientists at UKCEH. It was selected for PRS Foundation’s New Music Biennial with performances in Bradford and London. The BBC Radio 3 live recording will be released on NMC Recordings in July 2025.
