Liam Byrne

Liam Byrne is a London-based composer and viola da gamba player who effortlessly bridges the gap between early music and contemporary experimentation. Known for his genre-blurring approach, he’s as comfortable resurrecting Renaissance tunes as he is crafting eerie electronic soundscapes or collaborating with avant-garde icons like Björk. Recent releases like *Concrete* and *Long Phrases For the Wilton Diptych* showcase his knack for weaving algorithmic composition and medieval textures into hauntingly modern pieces, while *Tessellatum* (a collaboration with producer Matt Robertson) merges live electronics with the viol’s rich, woody tones. Whether he’s improvising in candlelit churches or coding generative music systems, Byrne’s work feels like a time-traveling dialogue between past and future—all delivered with a quiet, unpretentious curiosity.
