Emily Peasgood (born 1981 in Grimsby, Lincolnshire) is an Ivors Award winning composer and sound artist. She creates installations and sculptures in public places like forts, lifts, and graveyards. They feature her compositions, soundscapes, voice actors, sound effects, sound design and interactive technology, inviting people to explore the history of a place or its people. As a composer, Emily leads community song-creation projects resulting in songbooks that capture unique stories from specific communities. In 2020 Emily completed her PhD which explored creating musical artworks with communities. As part of her PhD, she developed accessible and inclusive methods not only for participation, but for how to present engagement opportunities to members of the public. Emily invites members of the public to collaborate with her work as part of the creative process and/or in the way they interact with the artwork. Her work features innovative technological solutions created with sensors and bespoke software, supported by a creative team of technologists and artist assistants known as Emily Peasgood Studio. Emily has created work for prestigious organisations and events such as Folkestone Triennial, The British Library, Tate Modern and Turner Contemporary. Most recently, she designed *Listening Desk*, an interactive musical sculpture with bespoke software enabling visitors to access and play with historic sound archives at 10 major cultural institutions around the UK. Emily’s work has been described as magical (The Times), evocative (The Telegraph), and memorable (A-N). She won an Ivors Composer Award for sonic art in 2018 and has been nominated in the category of Community Engagement 5 times. Emily received her PhD in creating accessible musical artworks in the community in 2020 and and is an electronic music professor at Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London’s Barbican Centre.
