Richard Scott

I'm an artist and musician based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The visual art and the music I make are related to one another. I'm interested in the nuances and contradictions which ostensibly opposing organising principles and perceptual paradigms can generate in relation to each other.

I play mostly contemporary experimental music, often improvised and primarily on the viola and (sometimes tabletop) guitar. I also play Swedish and Norwegian traditional dance music on the fiddle. I have performed and recorded in the UK, France, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden and Slovenia, and have played in regular groups with Tapiwa Svosve, Silvan Schmid, Eddie Prévost, Angharad Davies, Hannah Marshall, Sarah Farmer, Jorge Boehringer, Andrew Woodhead, Phil Durrant, Samuel Rodgers, Joe Wright, James Opstad, Mark Sanders, Rachel Musson, Xhosa Cole and James Malone. With Tapiwa Svosve I also co-run the label Physical Correlate
