Owen Russell (b. 1999) is a composer, baritone horn player and jazz trombone player based in Hampshire, and has completed undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of York. His music explores three mediums:
- Contemporary Concert Music - which is mostly made up of works for small groups or chamber ensembles, and has been regularly performed by The University of York's Chimera Ensemble.
- Jazz Music - Owen has experience writing for big bands, as well as standards for smaller combos (himself performing as a trombonist).
- Electronically-Produced Music - which, whilst not always scrictly ambient, consists of predominantly slow-moving textures and strongly abstract structures. This music is available collected together in albums.
In the past, Owen has composed music for:
- The Chimera Ensemble, The 24, and The University of York Jazz Orchestra (all based at the University of York)
- The Southampton Youth Jazz Orchestra
