Phill Niblock

Phill Niblock is an intermedia artist using music, film, photography, video and computers. In his music, the combination of apparently static surface textures and extremely active harmonic movement generates a highly original sound world that, while having things in common with early drone-based Minimalism, is utterly distinct in sound and technique. Niblock's work has influenced a generation of musicians, especially younger players from a variety of musical genres.
