Beatrice Dillon UK

London-based experimental music producer and composer

Highly eclectic and unpredictable, Beatrice Dillon’s endless fascination and passion for diverse styles of music is reflected in her output—an intricate patchwork of half-buried African rhythms, dub techno, IDM and esoteric experimentalism. Restrained, thoughtful and always pushing the envelope, Dillon balances a studious academic curiosity with a sense of playfulness and openness to exploration, incorporating everything from squonky free jazz tenor sax to minimal glitch techno. For the past decade she has worked with numerous galleries as a resident artist, performer and composer of installation soundtracks. A prolific producer and performer, she has collaborated with percussionist Rupert Clervaux on several releases including ​Studies I-XVII For Samplers And Percussion​, an album that runs the gamut from reinterpreted gamelan to dub techno, and she has performed improvisation-heavy sets in Berlin with Kassem Mosse. She also hosts a popular radio show on NTS where she invites a collaborator every month to assist her inmixing ambient, left field techno, Bollywood soundtracks and musique concrete amongst other styles.
