Geoffa Fells is a composer, visual artist and PhD researcher at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp. They use a blend of traditional scoring, electronics and multi-sensory art to compose new music that is inclusive of under-heard voices through collaborations with fellow neurodiverse artists and working with children with severe and complex needs.
Geoffa completed a Masters and Fellowship at Guildhall where they received the ‘Starred Award for Exceptional Performance’. In 2021, they were awarded Arts Council funding to write their multi-sensory opera ‘Express Yourself’ and was one of six Guildhall graduates to be awarded the ‘Futures Fund’ award to compose a new piece exploring how social connection, play, and meditation techniques can be diversified and explored as modes of creation. Most recently, they have been awarded Arts Council funding again to create collaborative work with their ensemble of neurodiverse musicians called ‘Nth Tangent’. Recent presentations of their work have included the ARTICULATE Festival in Antwerp as well as the TATE Modern and Barbican’s OpenFest in London.
