Rosemary Shapes Tickle

composer

Rosemary Shapes Tickle is an emerging composer, performer and rabbit. Her musical output is roving and personal, joyful and disconcerting, focusing on stories, fragments and memory. Ro frequently centres close personal relationships within her music-making practice.

Ro composes concert music for solo performers, small and large instrumental ensembles and voice, and produces soundtracks and electronic music. It also performs in solo and group settings, incorporating alto sax, live electronics and spoken word, across far-reaching traditions, influences and practices including electronic dance music, noise, sound art, performance art, ritual, spoken word, BDSM practices and visual slapstick. Ro is founder and co-facilitator of the electronic-dramaturgical improvisatory collective MASSIVE NUN, and co-director of Hispid ensemble. 

A 2025 Britten Pears CAPPA Young Artist, Ro recently completed an MMus in Composition with Musicology at the Royal Northern College of Music. Ro is based in Manchester.
