Semay Wu is a composer, cellist, improviser, and media/sound artist. Influenced by free improvisational frameworks, Semay composes primarily in electroacoustic sounds: most recently with graphic scores, field recordings and live electronics. She has also developed video pieces, performance/interactive-installations, as well as an online audio cookbook for Manchester’s communities: Sounds Like Scran, in 2021. Semay’s solo performances use sampling and improvisation, of cello, voice and everyday objects, and has released four albums: Raspberry Hotel (Akashic Records, 2022), Sharmanka & Unsteady Stones (Scatter Archive, 2023 & 2024), and The Spinal Cactus #001 (self-released), made for her first UK tour (as solo) in 2024.
