Vladislav Shoot

Vladislav Shoot (Russian: Владислав Алексеевич Шуть, Vladislav Alekseyevich Shut' (also spelled Chout, Schut, Sciut, Shut or Szut); 3 March 1941 – 9 March 2022) was a Russian-British composer of contemporary classical music.

Born in Voznesensk, Soviet Union, now Ukraine, he moved to the United Kingdom in the early 1990s, settling on the artists' estate of Dartington Hall.

He retained serial processes, used post-Romantic elements, and quoted composers of the past, with Alban Berg as the clearest influence.

[2] Shoot allowed performers of his works a certain freedom of interpretation within the bounds of a controlled aleatoric technique.

[6] His music has been performed at numerous venues and festivals throughout Europe, as well as in South Korea and the United States.
