Ewan’s music has 'the ability to create atmosphere and colour, but also an understanding of dramatic impetus' (Bachtrack). His cartographic scores are often written directly onto maps in collaboration with British Antarctic and Ordnance Survey: 'Songlines wrapped as contours and slopes' (Robert Macfarlane). Ewan has been awarded several international composition prizes from New York to Adelaide, and has worked with notable performers including Britten Sinfonia, The Hermes Experiment, Fretwork, Thomas Gould and Clare Hammond. Ewan is Director of Music at Churchill and Murray Edwards Colleges in Cambridge, and conducts the Wilderness Orchestra in performances of his orchestral adaptations of popular music.
