Sam Rudd-Jones: The Open Fund for Music Creators
CD Recording Project of Sam Rudd-Jones’ Chamber Works
Sam is a 23-year-old composer based in London. He is also a pianist and has written a lot of chamber music to perform with his friends. His music is often based on continually changing tempos, creating the distinct expressive effect of an uncanny rubato. He is also a rapper and producer and integrates aspects of trap style into his instrumental music. He studied composition with Richard Causton at the University of Cambridge, and now studies privately with Julian Anderson.
Sam will use his Open Fund for Music Creators grant to support a CD-length recording project of his chamber works. The composition will be performed by well-known professionals and released on a label dedicated to contemporary British music. It comprises a 30-minute piece called Three Sonatas, for piano, violin, and clarinet that has been written over the course of four years; a solo piano piece; and a song cycle.
