Jamie Perera

Jamie Perera is an Asian mixed heritage composer, sound artist and producer from East London. His work is inspired by transformation in the Anthropocene, with themes that juxtapose nature, people, places and timescales. He combines electronic production and contemporary orchestration with field recordings, data, and video.

Through music, performances, installations and workshops he explores grief, radical deconstruction, re-imagining and reclamation. He develops these themes further by collaborating with artists and producers.

He is the first artist to turn 12,000 years of climate data into an immersive orchestral piece with "Anthropocene In C Major", showcased at SXSW and touring internationally. Other notable work includes making a "score in the sky" with satellite data, and using sound to show differences in conscious state. He is credited on over 40 films including winners of the SXSW Documentary Jury Award, The Grierson Award, RTS Award, and BAFTA and EMMY nominations, with mentions in numerous publications including Forbes, WIRED, The Guardian, Pitchfork, and the FT.

Perera’s collaborations and commissions include a diverse range of organisations and people including The Serpentine, The Royal College of Art, Forma Art, Wild Alchemy Lab, The Guardian, Financial Times, European Space Agency, RNCM, Erased Tapes Records, Crossover Labs, Amnesty International, Anil Seth, Marcus Du Sautoy, and Lubomyr Melnyk.
