Raven Bush

Composer, producer, and violinist Raven Bush has brought his genre-defying approach, blending strings and electronics, across the music, film, and performing arts industries for over a decade.

He is a member of the critically acclaimed Speakers Corner Quartet, whose track Geronimo Blues, featuring Kae Tempest, won Best Contemporary Song at the 2024 Ivor Novello Awards. For their debut album, ‘Further Out Than the Edge’, Bush and his band mates worked side by side with acclaimed artists like Sampha, Laraaji, Kelsey Lu and Tirzah.

Bush’s scoring and writing work with the Quartet includes the forthcoming BBC and Fable Pictures drama series Mr Loverman, with solo projects including soundtracks for director Phillip Kaminiak’s short films featured in the LoveSick series on Nowness, BAFTA winner Simon Smith’s Murmur, and co-composing the trailer score for Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale.

A versatile collaborator, Bush has appeared on releases by everyone from Christine & The Queens, Young Fathers and Ben Howard, to Ghostpoet and Beth Gibbons. His projects alongside jazz luminaries include Shabaka Hutchings and Tom Skinner (The Smile), Archie Sheep, Melvin Van Peebles, and Mulatu Astatke. Meanwhile, Bush’s first solo album, ‘Fall Into Noise’, released in 2021 on the PRAH label, was described by Electronic Sound as a “sparkling debut”.

On stage, he has performed with the likes of Mica Levi and the London-based experimental music and art collective CURL collective. At Funkhaus Berlin, he composed and performed sold-out shows alongside Floating Points and Lotic for the renowned choreographer Kiani Del Valle’s Dance piece, Las Casas Invisibles.
