Jack Sheen is a composer and conductor from Manchester. His music encompasses concert works for orchestras, ensembles, and soloists, alongside immersive loud-speaker and performance-installations, with most recent work existing in both formats.Alongside Sub, recent projects include a sound-installation for the Venice Biennale Musica.

Sub is the debut album of Jack Sheen and was composed for a lop-sided ensemble of five alto flutes, two bass clarinets, two trombones, piano, percussion, four violas, and a backing track of white noise and field recordings, this radical orchestral reimagining shuns traditional ensemble formats in favour of mid-range saturation. The results are like no other: rich, uncanny, and somewhat absurd. Whilst nodding its head to minimalism and ambient music on a formal level, Sub engages with energy. The cyclic reoccurrence at the heart of each movement create sculptural impressions, yet the music buzzes with motors running independent of one another at irregular paces.
