Eden Lonsdale

Eden Lonsdale is a composer from Berlin (DE).He has studied composition to postgraduate level at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (London) with Malcolm Singer, Cassandra Miller and Julian Anderson and at the Kunstuniversität Graz with Klaus Lang. He has also studied Just Intonation at the UdK Berlin with Marc Sabat and privately with Catherine Lamb. Eden’s music focuses mainly on exploring aspects of harmony and timbre and their inter- connectedness through Just Intonation. Often using very limited materials, his dense and immersive sound-worlds attempt to draw the ear into the smallest details and hope to inspire the listener’s self-guided exploration into the music’s manifold layers. For Eden composition is not a discipline of self-expression but rather a way of creating new spaces in which the multi-dimensional aspects of sound and time can be experienced freely. He has written concert music for and with soloists such as Satoko Inoue and Heather Roche as well as ensembles including EXAUDI, Apartment House, Plus-Minus Ensemble, Orkest de Ereprijs and ICTUS. His music has recently been performed at EstOvest Festival, Distat Terra Festival, Blurred Edges Festival and the London Culture Mile. Eden is also a founding member of ‘Red Panel’, a new music ensemble operating in London and Berlin.
