Jonathan Pitkin’s work increasingly uses technology to expand or reconfigure familiar instruments, making them behave in unexpected ways as if to suggest that they have minds of their own. He works around the boundaries between popular and classical, acoustic and electronic, and liveness and automation.
Jonathan’s output includes studies, installations, composers’ tools and academic writings. His music has been heard at the Huddersfield, Spitalfields and New York City Electroacoustic Music Festivals, the IRCAM Forum Ateliers and the CIME General Assembly. He teaches Composition and Academic studies at the Royal College of Music, London.
Jonathan was shortlisted for selection to represent the ISCM British Section at the World New Music Days Festival 2026 in Romania.
