Richard J Norris writes both electronic and acoustic music - often combining the two. With a strong interest in both melody and rhythm, Richard frequently collaborates with outstanding musicians and videographers, to produce music and inter-disciplinary performances. Richard plays bass guitar with folk quartet, Alkevan.

Richard’s music has been performed at and by BBC, ITV, Channels 4 and 5, Young Vic, Southbank Centre, Albert Hall and is published by Boost Music, Funky Junkies and Music Neo. Over the years he has also worked with the X-Factor and has contributed music to TV shows including The Crown and Bridgerton.

Richard won the Royal Television Society’s Best Promotional Video (2021) and has received nominations and awards at the Awareness Festival, Tallahassee Film Festival, Film Festival of Seia (Best Original Score) and Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema (Nice).

Richard’s latest album, Sensoria, is out on the streaming platforms, you tube and Bandcamp (where CD orders are even available!). It is an album based around colour the journeys though different senses. I have loved working with musicians including Modulus Quartet, Adel Tuzani and Playbox Theatre, videographer, Diego Barraza and artist, Alan A Art. We have had some very successful performances alongside Alkevan, bringing a rawer live edge to the performance. I hope that people are now able to enjoy it in its online form. I am very grateful to have received Arts Council funding to support this project. More information on Sensoria can be found HERE.

Alongside this, his nem album with Stevon Russell (Stevon and the Well Wishers) , Striations, is now out on all platforms. More info can be Striations can be found HERE following a brilliant launch gig in May 2024.
