Having originally pursued vocal studies, Georgia is still actively involved in contemporary and experimental practice. Previously, she has performed with electronics at Supersonic Festival, Snape Maltings, Orgelpark Amsterdam, BEASTdome, KABK Den Haag and Fylkingen Stockholm. Georgia has also curated events for Ideas of Noise and Emulsion Festival, focussing on the celebration of new artists and transdisciplinary collaborations.
Georgia joined the Sound and Music New Voices 2020 cohort, offering tailored support and guidance. They have accompanied her through a rekindling of creative directions, the result of which will be the release of her debut EP of songs in Spring 2024. She is currently a PhD student with Richard Causton at the University of Cambridge, as a Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholar. She lives with her husband, a theoretical computer scientist, and is never far from the river.
“a real earworm... of such haunting beauty you could only hold your breath as it unfolded.”
