American-British composer and pianist Charlie Hooper-Williams is one of the developers of the app Shazam and a prizewinner at the International Shostakovich Piano Competition. He performs alongside a bespoke live projections system he has coded, creating real time visuals in response to each performance. He has attracted critical and popular acclaim; described as “inverse film scoring”, this “lovely, special, immersive show” (Elizabeth Alker, BBC Radio 3) combines intricate, virtuosic textures with moving and accessible melodies. Originally from the pine woods of Minnesota’s Iron Range, he grew up near Chicago, studied at the University of Cambridge Centre for Music and Science, and now makes his home in Bath.
