An experienced composer, musician and teacher, Lewis White has been honing his craft over many years.
His background consists of a mixture of classical training and real-world experience. A grade 8 pianist, Lewis studied music at Sussex University before going on to complete a Masters in composition at Goldsmiths, University of London; this course had a focus on contemporary classical composition, film music and electronic music.
Sandwiched between this academia was two years spent as a piano teacher and musician, during which time he was gigging frequently with bands and artists including Tadhg Daly and Serkeidian.
More recently Lewis has been collaborating with fellow composer and musician Gus Arrowsmith to form ACWA, a downtempo two-piece, blending dreamy indie with soul.
As a composer, Lewis blends orchestral instruments with electronic textures to create beautiful and contemporary pieces. These works range from intimate solo piano pieces to epic larger-scale ensembles.
He draws inspiration from composers such as Steve Reich, Nils Frahm and Cliff Martinez; their focus on evolving rhythmic patterns, atmospheric textures and subtle arrangement informs much of his writing style.
