Troy Banarzi

Troy Banarzi

Postgraduate Diploma, Composition, 2006

London artist and composer Troy Banarzi creates conceptually inspired works that range from delicately entwined layers of sound to large scale, theatrical performance art events. He graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in 2006.

Inspired by human nature, memory and psychic fragility, his work centers around the unknown and the bizarre. He uses antiques, redundant musical instruments and forgotten texts, to create innovative, haunting, beautiful yet disturbing artworks. These have been performed and exhibited at venues from Somerset House to Tate Britain and broadcast on BBC Radio 3, Resonance FM and included as part of Waldemar Januszczak’s “The Sculpture Diaries” on Channel 4.

He is also a production music composer, and recording pianist for “De Wolfe Music”, with numerous high profile television credits including The Apprentice (BBC1), Dispatches (Channel 4), Horizon (BBC2), and Coast (BBC1).

He also writes music for theatre and contemporary dance, collaborates with the Rambert Dance Company, and sound artist Scanner, and periodically lectures at Goldsmiths College.
