Sam Cave’s music searches for ‘flowing-stasis’, a concentrated quietness and an energy-less intensity. Its rhythms, harmonies and gestures aim to hint at an eternal ‘other world’ built purely of sound, and attempt to invite and reward close and concentrated listening.

His work has been performed in venues around the UK and abroad such as The Forge, The Pump Rooms, Royal College of Music, Turner Sims Concert Hall, Handel House and Swinburne Hall, Norway’s Norges musikkhøgskole, in Australia at the Sydney Conservatorium and in the USA at Arts Collinwood.
