Alastair White (b.1988) is a Scottish composer and writer. His work is characterised by a lyrical complexity which draws influence from technology, science, politics and materialism, and has been described as "a whole exciting new genre of art" (BBC Radio 3), “spellbinding” (Boulezian), "perfect" (Vogue Italia), "genuinely original" (TEMPO), “highly poetic...excellent” (BBC Music Magazine), "deftly manic" (American Record Guide) "passionately atonal" (Gramophone) and "the height of compositional magnificence" (Fanfare). Full-length studio recordings of his fashion-operas ROBE and WOAD were released by Métier Records in 2021, with RUNE due out in Summer 2022. He is currently composer-in-residence for the Ljubljana-based .abeceda [new music ensemble] , and teaches at Goldsmiths, University of London. His scores are published by UMP. Recipient of a Tait Memorial Trust Award (2021), and shortlisted twice for a Scottish Award for New Music (in 2019 and 2020) and Creative Edinburgh Award (2019), his music has been featured on Radio 3 and Klara Radio, and is supported by Help Musicians UK, The Hinrichsen Foundation, The Hope Scott Trust, The Marchus Trust, The Royal Musical Association, The RVW Trust, The Sarah Caple Scholarship, The Tait Memorial Trust, and The Goldsmiths Graduate School Fund and Music Research Committee.
