A radiant duality lurks within the oeuvre of Oliver Coates, the British cellist, film composer and electronic producer whose performance career and compositional output have arisen in tandem. This sensibility has expanded his work into visual worlds, which includes his lauded scoring of films such as Aftersun, The Stranger and Occupied City. He has also scored the films Pillion, 100 Nights of Hero and The History of Sound.

His impulse to connect with other artists over exquisite detail has brought vocal appearances by Malibu on his tracks, as well as celebrated collaborations with Joanne Robertson, Mica Levi, Arca and Jonny Greenwood.

Coates joined the RVNG Intl. family in 2018 with Shelley’s on Zenn-La, followed by the shoegaze melodic and ambient sensibilities of skins n slime in 2020. In 2024 he unveiled the somatic chiaroscuro of Throb, shiver, arrow of time, further collapsing the digital into the analogue and vice versa.

A former principal cellist for London Contemporary Orchestra, Aurora Orchestra and London Sinfonietta, Coates’ expressive and hypnotic renderings of his instrument are a given. In 2017 he opened for Radiohead at Old Trafford Stadium and toured as opening act for Thom Yorke throughout Europe and the US in 2018. He headlined a concert curated by David Lynch at the Manchester International Festival and has directed the live music for Dior shows under Maria Grazia Chiuri in Rome, Edinburgh, Athens and Mumbai.
