Gre they/she, is a Black Midwestern American composer, multi-disciplinary artist, researcher, and vocalist exploring genre-less compositions created through endarkened co-composition. Their artistic practice is deeply rooted in storytelling and the visceral realms of the imaginary, exploring the opacity of human experience.
As a sound artist-researcher, Gre delves into the applied use of Endarkened Co-Composition—a collaborative method she developed for generative sound and music-making. This approach centres Black and Indigenous forms of storytelling and story-keeping, utilizing methods such as storytelling, interviews, and informal exchanges. Endarkened Co-Composition is a non-linear process focused on creating a space of endarkened co-presence where shared stories and experiences fundamentally shape the sonic outputs.
Currently, Gre is a cross-departmental Lecturer at the University of Southampton in Music and Art and Media Technology. She also serves as the EDI Lead for Music. Her work has been exhibited at notable venues such as Lindisfarne Castle (Holy Island, UK), Lisson Gallery (London, UK), The Union for Contemporary Art (Omaha, USA), and Queens Museum (New York, USA).
