Jill Purdy

A composer and sound artist with a keen ear for texture, she crafts immersive sonic environments that blend field recordings, synthesized tones, and delicate silence. Her work navigates memory and place, inviting listeners to dwell in quiet moments as much as in movement. Across performances, installations, and collaborative projects, she pursues clarity through restraint, shaping soundscapes that are both intimate and expansive. She is drawn to everyday phenomena—the hum of infrastructure, the drift of ambient air, the reverberation of empty rooms—and translates them into resonant, tactile experiences. Her practice emphasizes process, listening, and the transformative potential of sound as a shared medium.
