Arun Sood is a Scottish-Indian writer, musician and academic working across multiple forms.  He was born in Aberdeen to a West-Highland Mother and a Punjabi father, and has since lived in Glasgow, Amsterdam, DC, and now South Devon where he is Lectuer in Global Literatures at the University of Exeter.  

 

Arun’s critical and creative practice ranges from fiction, academic publications, editorials, installations, and poetry to ambient musical tapestries made up of field-recordings, guitars, accordion, chanter, piano, spoken word and programmed synths.  Broadly, his varied outputs reflect on and engage with diasporic identities, mixed-race heritage, ancestry, language, and memory.
