Kathy Hinde is an artist and composer whose practice embraces open methods and evolving processes. Through installations, performances, and site-specific experiences, she aims to nurture a deeper and more embodied connection to the more-than-human world. Composed of hand-made objects, electronics, and a blend of digital and analogue systems, her work represents a cross between kinetic sound sculptures and newly invented musical instruments. She creates pieces in response to specific locations and frequently works in collaboration with other practitioners and scientists, often actively involving the audience in the creative process.

She has toured work across Europe, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Russia, China, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Colombia, Australia and New Zealand. Awards include an Ivor Novello Award for Sound Art in 2020; an Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronica in 2015; a British Composer Award in Sonic Art in 2017; an ORAM award in 2017 and a Scottish Award for New Music for collaboration with Maja Ratkje in 2018.  She was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music by Bath Spa University in 2023, was a selected artist for European SHAPE Platform for innovative music and audiovisual art in 2018, is a member of Bristol Experimental Expanded Film collective (BEEF), and a resident at the Pervasive Media Studio, Bristol.
