About the show
Alexander Carson is a non-binary singer-songwriter/composer based in Norwich Norfolk, United Kingdom, They spend the majority of their time bumbling around the house making obtuse sounds, comforted and accompanied by two ambivalent cats, one over-excited dog, and one mega talented author (Emily Buchanan).
Carson first picked up the piano at age 4 (which is especially difficult considering the weight) and was classically trained, their music reflects this discipline and sounds like a cross between Chopin and Rufus Wainwright.
Carson is inspired by the mundanity of modernity and aims to articulate the absurdity of human existence in their music. This is all presented with a surrealist sense of humour to soften the often melancholic timbre of the music.
Essentially their music is trying to set one Oscar Wilde quote to music: "Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about"
Featuring
Alexander Carson
Alexander Carson is a non-binary singer-songwriter/composer based in rural North Norfolk, United Kingdom, who spends the majority of their time bumbling around a remote cottage in the woods making obtuse sounds.
Carson first picked up the piano at age 4 and was classically trained, their music reflects this discipline, and despite its simple-sounding structure, certain portions of their work are unplayable by most musicians owing to the concealed complexity.
Carson is inspired by the mundanity of modernity and aims to articulate the absurdity of human existence in their music. This is all presented with a surrealist sense of humour to soften the often melancholic timbre of the music.
