Edit history

Software of Seagulls creates expansive electronic music from tape offcuts, improvisations and found sounds. It is the alter ego of Chris Perren, an Australian composer and video artist who also fronts the math-rock band Mr. Maps, and the indie chamber group Nonsemble. The debut album, Sunrise Industry was released via Sydney’s Feral Media in 2015 to critical acclaim, with TheMusic describing it as “all-encompassing celebration of sound as life”, 4ZZZ tipping it as “one of the best post-rock records we’re likely to hear this year”. and being listed amongst the “Happiest music of the year” by acloserlisten.com. As a composer of contemporary concert music, Perren has become known for mesmerising audiovisual compositions for live chamber ensembles and soloists, and this integrated audiovisual approach has entered his recent Software of Seagulls outputs. The audiovisual single “FOREVER” is a teaser for a larger body of audiovisual work to be released in 2021.
