About US

Komuna Collective is a UK-based group of artists, DJs, and musicians centred around a string quartet working with live electronics and multimedia. Formed in 2022, Komuna launched in an underground nightclub in Oxford. Since then, Komuna has appeared at Electrowerkz London, London Fashion Week, Classical:NEXT 2025 (Berlin), Hjorted Art & Music Festival (Sweden), Cambridge Festival, UK, and Queerscore Festival 2026. The collective has been supported by Arts Council England, the Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust, PRS Foundation, The Oxford Research Centre for the Humanities, the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of Cambridge, and the Nordisk KulturFond. They have appeared at venues across the UK, including clubs, theatres, warehouses, galleries, boats and concert halls, performing repertoire by composers such as Anna Meredith, Steve Martland, Meredith Monk, Steve Reich and John McLaughlin.

Their debut album for string quartet and electronics, Views from the Real World (2024), composed by violist Adam Possener, digests everything from Bach to Beyoncé, Reddit to Minecraft, Critical Psychiatry to personal rejections, with a maximalist sound world that offers a tongue-in-cheek approach to the digital age. The 40-minute work toured around the UK and Europe in 2025, and recently featured in a double bill alongside Plus Minus Ensemble.
Komuna have also commissioned and premiered new works for string quartet and electronics by composers Dr Andrew Harlan, Zacharius Wolfe, Leoni Hughes-King, Dr Luke Lewis, Imogen Davey and Toby Anderson.
