Fly On The Wall is an ongoing archive of performance — a space where musicians are heard and seen in their most natural state.
Founded in 2015, the project seeks to preserve the inner life of interpretation: the stillness before the note, the concentration of the moment, and the trace that remains after sound fades.
Some works exist purely in sound; others unfold in film.
Each is a document of a real performance — intimate, unadorned, and complete in itself.
Together, they form a continuing record of how music is made, remembered, and rediscovered.
With over 20 years' experience in classical music with activities spanning performance, audio production, editing, filmmaking, writing and lecturing, Stewart French founded Fly On The Wall in 2021 with the mission to find better ways for performing arts to engage with digital audiences.
Alongside his appearances as a soloist with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, his audio production service Draft and his new music projects with Tarik O'Regan, Sir John Rutter, Tetra & CHROMA, Stewart is known for his disruptive audio-visual media projects - particularly in promoting the appreciation of music through the presentation of "exquisitely filmed" (BBC Music Magazine) performances by classical musicians.
Stewart read pure mathematics at Cambridge and in 2006 received the highest postgraduate final recital guitar mark in the history of the Royal Academy of Music.
