Leah Barclay is an award winning composer, sound artist and curator working at the intersection of art, science, technology and the environment. She creates complex sonic environments with a strong focus on the textural and timbral properties of sound. These works are realised through immersive performances and multi-sensory installations drawing on environmental field recordings, multi-channel sound diffusion, live performers and ephemeral projections.

Leah’s current major projects include; composer for the Indian dance production Uruvam (recently toured Europe), Encontro Das Aguas (commissioned by the Australian Voices), Optic Resonance (sound visualisation in public spaces), lead artist for the Remnant/Emergency Artlab, Biosphere Soundscapes (global acoustic ecology project) and composer/sound artist for DAM(N); an interdisciplinary project exploring the stories of the displaced people of the Narmada River in North India.

2012 includes research and creative presentations at the Australian Computer Music Conference (Brisbane, Australia), The Global Composition (Darmstadt, Germany), ISEA 2012 (New Mexico, USA), Ear to the Earth (New York) and MutaMorphosis: Tribute to Uncertainty (Prague, Czech Republic).
