LONG BIO

Sean Pett is a British composer and performer working with piano and hybrid electronic sound. His work centres on inner emotional states and physical intensity, using repetition, rhythm, and dynamic force to build and sustain pressure—holding tension until it gives way to more exposed, fragile material.

He began his career writing production music, with work featured across UK and US television networks. Over time, he developed a close relationship with contemporary dance, composing for projects that explore the connection between sound and movement. This has become central to his practice, shaping a compositional approach rooted in gesture, physicality, and the body in motion.

In 2025, he began developing his own solo work—a series of neo-classical piano compositions supported by Creative Scotland—marking a shift towards a more personal and independent artistic voice. His work has been performed across the UK in collaboration with contemporary dance, as well as internationally in Italy and Cyprus.
