Colin Riley's music draws on a range of elements including new technologies, improvisation, song-writing and large-scale classical form. His recent compositions include a double cello concerto Warp and Weft (Gabriella Swallow/Guy Johnston), In Place (Melanie Pappenheim), Rock Paper Scissors (Ensemble Bash), plus orchestral works Earth Voices (Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra) and Hearing Places (BBC National Orchestra of Wales).
As well as releases on NMC, Metier and Naxos, Colin also runs his own label Squeaky Kate. The most recent releases include Isolated Pieces (featuring 27 musicians including performance poet Benjamin Zephaniah and rock guitarist Steve Hackett) and a video-EP Masts Tunnel and Trees for cellist Louise McMonagle.
Colin creates work for his own two groups, the Homemade Orchestra and MooV, where he is composer and performer/director. Moov’s last album ‘Here’ was described as ‘utterly unclassifiable’ (London Jazz Blog), and ‘criminally underexposed’ (Jazz UK). He has also collaborated with diverse artists such as drummer Bill Bruford and poet Michael Rosen. He is currently creating an album of songs The Turning Year for Melanie Pappenheim, the music for two short films, and several chamber pieces.
Colin is Reader in Music at Brunel University London, and has been a mentor for the Making Music’s Adopt A Composer Scheme since 2001. He writes a regular blog about composing called Riley Notes and his music is published by Composers Edition.
