Caitlin Rowley

Caitlin Rowley is an experimental composer, artist and performer. Her work often dissolves the boundaries between music, art and text. Current projects include WALKS 13-16 (with Kaths Kaff), pieces for her duo with Edward Henderson and From the Exquisite Dark, a co-composed work for solo percussion and electronics being created with Josh Spear for Ensemble Garage with support from Cyborg Soloists. She is currently accepting commissions for late 2024. Find out more about Caitlin and her work.

Due to pandemic-overload and now to thesis-overload, the vlog is on hold until I sort myself out. It’ll be back though – I promise! In the meantime, if you’re interested in updates on what I’m doing or how I work, my Instagram is the best place to go, or have a look at my online Notebook.
