Lee Gamble is an artist, electronic music composer, and DJ.
Over the last several years Lee has released a string of critically acclaimed albums and EP’s on seminal electronic music labels PAN and Hyperdub, creating his own UIQ imprint in 2015. His work incorporates several interlocking themes of hallucination, nostalgia and memory, noise, hyperreality and the imaginary, social realism, the sound objects of musique concrète and the ever-mutating hardcore continuum. His DJ sets have been aptly described as "nothing short of outrageous [...] rollercoaster through genre & tempo, spanning sub-destroying bass & grime, dubstep infusions, plenty of breaks and a hefty dose of freaky techno, [...] while always remaining highly danceable and exceptionally fun."
His work intersects with installation, performance, written text, technology, sound design and music. His writing was recently published in the book Audint—Unsound: Undead (Urbanomic) and his essay on the voice and it’s synthetic simulations ‘Dual Space’ is published via Shelter press in 2023. He has presented work internationally, at Southbank Centre, Tate Modern, ICA London, MMCA, Seoul, MoMA PS1, New York, Sonar Festival, MAC Musée d'art Contemporain, Montréal, Maison de la Radio et de la Musique, Paris and Palace of Culture and Science, Warsaw.
His most recent work looks at embodiment, mimicry and simulation through a series of artificially synthesised vocal neural networks and body movement.
