Phillip Neil Martin is an internationally award-winning composer, producer and creative director. My work crosses the boundaries between experimental concert music, electronics and installations, fashion, film and new technology, and I love collaborating with designers, filmmakers, architects, artists and dancers to create immersive, cross-disciplinary experiences. I’ve had the privilege to work with entities such as the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Singers, Philharmonia Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, Arditti String Quartet, Nash Ensemble and Schubert Ensemble, alongside fashion and design houses like Viktor & Rolf and Chanel.
“ Phillip Neil Martin’s Black & White for 4 taiko drummers, electronics, fashion and architecture [was] delicious… What transpires is indeed spectacular… immersing you in serene and powerful hybrid, the cultural synapse between east and west, and the possibilities of the symbiosis between sound and sight…
a unique and unforgettable evening ”
