Clovis McEvoy
Clovis McEvoy is an award winning composer, sonic artist, interaction designer, and writer. His creative practice incorporates acousmatic and live electroacoustic music, interactive audiovisual installations, and music for virtual reality. Connecting all his creative works is a desire to communicate personal, societal, and environmental issues with directness and empathy. Currently, Clovis is focused on developing multisensory projects which draw from visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and interactive disciplines to communicate message and meaning through holistic experiences.
Clovis completed his Masters in music with 1st class Honours and a full scholarship from the University of Auckland in 2019 and has subsequently received a number of notable distinctions, including the APRA-AMCOS Professional Development Grant, the Donny Charitable Trust Scholarship, a Developing Your Creative Practice Grant from Arts Council England, and the Lilburn Trust Composition Prize. Recent performances and exhibitions include ‘Calls for Cages’ (acousmatic, 2024) at Projecto DME Culture and Sustainability Festival in Lisbon, and at the Seanaps Festival in Leipzig, and ‘King Tide 皇潮’ (multisensory installation, 2024) at the Stephen Lawrence Gallery, in London, and at Pier-2 Arts Centre, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
