Composer, performer, educator

Peter Nagle is a composer-performer, sonic artist, educator and researcher based in London. His practice encompasses improvisation, alternative tunings, drone and loop textures, electronica and movement, often in multi- and trans-disciplinary contexts. His research interests revolve around identities and approaches in transdisciplinary collaboration, and ambiguity and uncertainty as aesthetic strategies.

Peter studied composition with David Harold Cox at Sheffield University, and later with Michael Finnissy. He obtained his doctorate in creative practice in 2024 at Trinity Laban, where he also teaches. Regular collaborations include Rising of the Lights with Jonny Martin and an ongoing multidisciplinary collaboration with Claire Zakiewicz, Petra Haller and Emily Suzanne Shapiro. Dance collaborations include Invisible Cities (2022) and Once up on a cube (premiered 2022; Totally Thames Festival, 2023), both with Scirocco Dance Theatre Company. Ouroboros, an installation/performance created in collaboration with Carla Rees, was first presented in 2024. Recordings include An Equal and Opposite Reaction (Linear Obsessional, 2019) and Sophie Stone’s Amalgamations (2022, Sawyer Editions).
