Ross Whyte

Ross Whyte is a Glasgow-based composer, sound artist, and arranger. In 2012 he completed a practice-based PhD in Musical Composition at the University of Aberdeen where his field of research was concerned with impermanence in audio-visual intermedia and headphone-specific composition.

His compositional output often includes collaborations with artists of disciplines different from his own, including dance, theatre, film, and the digital arts.

Since early 2016 he has worked as one half of the Gaelic ambient electronica duo, WHɎTE with singer-songwriter Alasdair Whyte.  The duo was awarded the Art and Culture trophy at the 2019 Scottish Gaelic Awards. They released their third album, MAIM, in March 2021, which was written as part of a collaborative theatre work of the same name with Theatre Gu Leòr.  MAIM has received positive critical acclaim, international airplay and several award nominations, and has been shortlisted for Scottish Trad Album of the Year.
