Simon Belshaw is a composer from Exeter. He has a PhD in composition from the University of Hertfordshire where he studied with Gavin Bryars and Andy Hugill.

He has been working on a project called Music Machine over the past few years. These pieces use both traditional and internet-based scores to create experimental compositions that are different each time they are performed.
