“Neil Luck is a composer, performer, and curator based in London. His compositional practice focuses on various approaches to non-standard notations, in particular those which implicate either the composer’s own body/movement in construction, or directly engage with the physiology of performance techniques themselves. Neil is also the founder of ARCO - a collective of emerging composers, artists and string players from a range of musical and artistic disciplines and backgrounds, investigating the overlap between composition, improvisation, and performance art. Neil is also an active performer and improviser, and has featured on BBC Radio 3 as part of the 2008 and 2009 Cut∧ Splice festival.He is also the founder of ARCO, and experimental string ensemble, who have played at kings place, on resoncance FM, Wilkinson Gallery, and most recently in Vilnius as part of the European Capital of Culture programme Neil’s work as a curator has seen led to two major exhibitions in 2008 and 2009 Notations 2008 and The Voice and Nothing More respectively. Both these events were dedicated to bringing leading visual artists and musicians together, exploring the concept of the notated score through as wide range of media as possible. These xhibitions featured contributions from leading visual artists Martin Creed, Cornelia Parker, Bruce Mclean, Dryden Goodwin and Jayne Parker amongst others, as well as performances from Apartment House, Lore Lixenberg, Juice Vocal ensemble, Mikhail Karikis, Sankorfa Percussion Quartet and leading UK beatboxer Reeps One.”
