Bio
George Worthy is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and sound artist based in Melbourne. Since completing his studies in classical bassoon and composition at Australian National University, School of Music, and Sound Art at RMIT (First Class Honours), his practice has bought together classical musics and techniques into the world of sound art and electronic music through the electro-acoustic lens.
