Will Crosby

Biography

William Crosby is a British/Greek-Cypriot artist, musician, pedagogue, and agitator based in Cambridge, UK.

His practice draws from ecological studies, sound art, and radical pedagogies, working with field recordings, text scores, improvisation, writing, and communal sound-making to ask how sound can build knowledge with our more-than-human contexts, and how this knowledge can develop communal pedagogical tools fit for our age of climate crises. William is a member of MUD Collective, a sedimentology-sound-art research group, collaborating across Iraq, India, France, and the UK. Together, they are exploring thinking with, through, and about mud, in consideration of shifting ideas around human/more-than-human, organic/inorganic, intra-actions. He is also a member of artist/researcher duo, (CWxWC), with Dr Cecilia Wee, who research the hidden politics of field recording.

Additionally, William lectures at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, in sound/music studies, media & communications, and fine art. He is the Anti-Casualisation Officer for ARU UCU, and is the PhD Representative for the LCC UCU.
