Trevor Wishart was born 1946 in Leeds, England. He grew up there and would spend most of his working life in Northern England. Little is known about his musical upbringing, but he started to work with recorded sounds in 1969, in reaction to the death of his father. Abandoning traditional composition, he began collecting sounds of machinery.
Wishart begun his active career as a composer of orchestral and electro-acoustic music, but his interests soon diverge to the computer and the human voice. The late '90s saw his popularity rise among avant-garde circles, leading to the reissue of part of his discography and the recording of new works.
After a period of writing for the human voice (the "Vox" cycle), Wishart came back to electro-acoustic composition in the 1990s with "Tongues of Fire" and the Voiceprints cycle. He is also the author of two books on sound transformation: Sonic Art (1985) and Audible Design (1994).
