Pierre-Henri Wicomb is a South African composer.[1] He is the son of the famous South African folk duo Randall and Koba Wicomb. His environment when growing up was one of constant musical interaction nurturing an interest and future aesthetics drawing from jazz, Afrikaans folk music, theatre music and classical music.
Wicomb completed composition studies in South Africa under Roelof Temmingh, Hendrik Hofmeyr and Theo Herbst. He furthered his studies in The Netherlands completing a post graduate degree at the Koninklijk Conservatorium[2] studying under Gilius van Bergeijk and Diderik Haakma Wagenaar. It is here that he founded the experimental group WOOF[3] together with two fellow composition students. He was the co-founder and pianist of the contemporary classical music group EJNCP and he is currently the pianist for the improvisation group Africa Open Improvising.
Wicomb's works has been performed in festivals including the Festival d'Automne[4],International Computer Music Conference,[5] ISCM World New music Days 2023[6],New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival[7],to name a few.
Wicomb was a prizewinner for the NewMusicSA call for works with his Double Bass Concerto, the RMN electroacoustic music competition[8]with his work BlaBlaBlaBlaBlavet and the Ablaze Records electroacoustic music competition.[9] Wicomb also works as a film and theatre composer creating soundtracks for productions including the winning Canal+ series Spinners,[10] the Disney series Kizazi Moto:Generation Fire and the widely praised ecological horror Gaia.[11] Wicomb has won two South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas)[12] and a Fleur du Cap award for his original music for the theatre production Marat/Sade.[13]
Wicomb's music is a combination of a more familiar harmonic sound world in combination with an unpredictable, irregular rhythmic approach akin to that of serial music. His music often incorporates theatrical and psychoanalytic theories.
