Jocelyn Pook is an English viola player. As one of the "Leytonstone Contingent," Pook recorded on two occasions with pianist Jeremy Peyton Jones for Rough Trade and later for Century XXI. About a year later, she joined Anne Stephenson and Audrey Riley to accompany Virginia Astley both on stage and record. Session work followed and alternated with her co-founding of the Electra Strings with Australian violinist Sonia Slany and an album on the Village Life label. This neoclassical chamber quartet later transformed into the Brilliant Strings after she and Slany had gone their separate ways.

Pook also has a separate career as a film composer. By the end of the decade, she had made three albums in her own right; the first was Deluge. She went international with her music for Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut
, to which she contributed among other things a spare reworking of an excerpt from Ligeti's 'Musica Ricercata II' and the music for the masked ball sequence, which incorporates a fragment of an Orthodox mass played backwards and lyrics sung (or chanted) in Romanian. Recently, she also contributed the score to the 2004 film version of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice
and Peter Kosminsky's film on David Kelly, The Government Inspector. She also composed the soundtrack for the film "L'Emploi du Temps", or "Out of Time". Her solo album Deluge was released in 1997.

In 1983 she appeared in the ABC movie Mantrap as one of many string players for the album The Lexicon Of Love Most of her sessions were for Indie bands throughout the 80s.
