Sarah completed her MA at Oxford Brookes and has collaborated with the SARU, primarily under the Compost and Height banner, ever since.
She is both a composer and a performer, producing work that explores the boundaries of interdisciplinary practice, often moving between sculpture, installation, composition and music. Hughes often works closely with SARU as the co-founder of both Compost and Height and BORE.
Compost and Height is a curatorial platform set up to facilitate the dissemination of contemporary music and associated arts practice via free downloads, online projects, live concerts, exhibitions and publications.
Founded in 2008 by Patrick Farmer and Sarah Hughes, Compost and Height promotes various practical, theoretical and historical aspects of contemporary sound- and composition-based practices.
