Welcome!
“…one to inhabit …. a quietly shifting ecosystem”
— Vito Camarretta, Scenes from the Blue, Chain D.L.K. webzine (✭✭✭✭)
“A serious achievement… Scrutton’s range of techniques is particularly impressive … as she smudges her vocals into gaseous clouds and hallucinatory electronics … endlessly fascinating”
— Interzone, Boomkat online
“The audience were caught in a dexterous layering of breath that felt like the wash and roll of the sea”
— Rough Breathing, The Guardian (✭✭✭✭)
Nichola Scrutton is an award-winning composer, improviser, vocalist, and interdisciplinary artist. She explores the fluid, ephemeral spaces between real and re-imagined sound worlds through a multi-faceted practice. Nichola draws deeply from psychology, memory-dreams, somatic experience, observation, and environment. She dynamically weaves together field recordings, sculpted vocal sound, and electronics with live improvisation, performance, and visual media to create open, multi-sensory experiences.
Alongside her studio and performance practice, she has extensive experience as a producer leading large-scale projects, as well as collaborating on interdisciplinary and participatory work. Her sound work has been released and broadcast internationally.
Nichola welcomes enquiries about commissions, sound art/design, performance, exhibitions, creative collaborations, and project facilitation. A select CV is available on request.
