Simon Brown is a composer, cellist, sound artist, educator, and activist. He finds musical inspiration in everyday environmental sounds and wields them into artistic expression and social commentary.

He grew up in activist-run squats in New York City’s East Village before his family set up later in rural Massachusetts. These communal environments instilled in him the importance of art as service to society. He views this as one of his compositional and educational guideposts.

His work includes concert music, film scores, sound installations, collaborative video, and novel digital technology. His music emphasizes interpretation of ordinary sounds and audience engagement. Environmental “noise” guides his musical sensibility; music is everywhere and often surreptitiously created.
