Megan Steinberg
Megan Steinberg is an experimental composer and abstract turntablist based in London. She works with found sound, chance procedures, graphic scores, quietness and microtonality.
Originally a jazz guitarist, Megan studied Composition at Brunel University where she fell into experimental music. After discovering free improv using objects, violin, and cello, in 2016 she began performing free improv and experimental music for single-deck analogue turntable.
As a free improv abstract turntablist, Megan is interested in furthering the repertoire and exploring performance techniques for the instrument. In 2018 she embarked on a Finnish tour with solo turntable material, and has performed with other musicians including Elliot Galvin, Benedict Taylor and Jenn Kirby.
Megan is currently studying a PhD at Royal Northern College of Music, where she has been appointed the Lucy Hale Doctoral Composer in Association with Drake Music, from 2021. Her project is focused on the creation of works for Disabled musicians, new instruments and AI, placing accessibility at the beginning of the compositional process.
Able Audio
Music technology provides musicians with exciting ways of making and recording music, but so
often, both musicians and technology companies leave out the needs of disabled peoples.
Able Audio explores the intersection of disability and music technology. Join host Sam Morgan,
as this six-episode podcast series seeks to bring to light the exciting work people are doing in
this space, elevating the voices and concerns of disabled people in music technology. In each
episode, we talk to a different music technologist about their practice, background in music, and
how their work intersects with the world of disability.
Welcome to the Able Audio podcast, proudly bought to you by the New Zealand Music
Commission with support from Arts Access Aotearoa.
