People: Simon Pyke

Simon studied sonic art at Middlesex University in London, after which he became involved in the electronic music scene, releasing music on Warp Records and others under the name Freeform and touring live audio-visual shows across the world alongside Aphex Twin and Autechre.

Since 2004, Simon has created the extraordinary sound that forms part of Universal Everything’s work, where an inventive fusion of the visual and sonic world is often central to the sensory immersion for which the studio is known.

Simon’s striking and unique soundscapes draw on a myriad of inspiration and techniques and include those for a living mural on the Sydney Opera House, experimental opera for the London Science Museum, ‘Walking City’ (Ars Electronica Golden Nica 2014) and the ‘Hyundai Vision Hall’ (Red Dot Award 2013)
