Iain Chambers

Iain Chambers is a London-based composer and producer whose work explores specific locations and their changing sounds across history, as in his 2017 work The House of Sound, and 2018’s City of Women.

Iain's work is heard live in concerts, radio, sound installations and multimedia. His feature-length symphonies of industrial sounds have been commissioned by BBC Radio 3, WDR, ABC Australia.

In 2019 Iain launched the independent record label Persistence of Sound: a new space for musique concrète, field recordings, and the uncategorizable sounds in between.

In 2003 Iain co-founded Langham Research Centre, an electronic music ensemble using obsolete Cold War era technology to compose new music. The group also create new realisations of 20th century electronic works by composers including John Cage, Alvin Lucier and Christian Wolff, using an unusual analogue instrumentarium.
