Kieran Brunt is a composer, performer and producer based in London.

His diverse body of work blends choral, electronic and lo-fi elements, and ranges from studio recordings to commissions for radio, TV, film and the concert stage.

As founder and director of vocal ensemble Shards, his debut album Find Sound (Erased Tapes, 2019) was heralded as ‘beautiful, neo-classical at its best’ by Lauren Laverne (BBC 6 Music). With electronic duo Strange Boy he released Love Remains in 2024, a debut LP garnering praise for its ‘enthralling, elegant ballads’ (MOJO) and ‘most beautiful melancholy’ (The Rolling Stone).

An avid collaborator, Kieran’s work has led to musical explorations with a diverse range of artists, including Terry Riley, Mabe Fratti, Nico Muhly, the LCO, Kim Deal, Squid, Clark, pop singer Aurora and Nils Frahm, who invited him to collaborate on the critically acclaimed LP ‘All Melody’ in 2018.

Recent credits in film/TV include Soulmates (AMC, 2020), SILO (Apple TV, 2023), Typist Artist Pirate King (2023), and The Assessment (2024). His collaboration with Imran Perretta on the soundtrack for ‘ISH’ will be premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2025, and his debut short film score for David Shane’s ‘EGGS’ is scheduled for release in 2026. 

Composition commission highlights include Prix Italia-nominated The Rising Sea Symphony (BBC Radio 3/BBC Philharmonic), The Virtual Symphony (BBC R3) and The Hologram of St Cecilia (BBC R3/BBC Singers). When appointed Composer in Residence at the Muziekgebouw Eindhoven in 2022, commissioned works included ‘cold tingle of infinity’ for TROMP! Competition, and ‘a familiar story’ for The King’s Singers.

In 2025 he was commissioned by Es Devlin and Cartier to compose ‘The Flower of the Human Heart’, a large-scale choral finale for the Opening Ceremony of the Women‘s Pavilion at the World Expo in Osaka, Japan. The performance also featured the premiere of a new collaboration, ‘Something Beautiful’ with poet and activist JJ Bola.
