Philip Clemo on SoundBetter

“MESMERISING” **** The London Times - I transform the ordinary into extraordinary, creating complex sound worlds with evolving musical forms and atmospherics. I use soundscaping, guitar layering, treated voice and a diverse range of acoustic and electronic instruments to build hypnotic musical landscapes.

I have released six critically acclaimed albums, using composition, improvisation and sound-design to develop pieces. You can hear excerpts at: https://www.philipclemo.com/music/

The pool of outstanding musicians I have collaborated with have worked with the likes of Peter Gabriel, Bjork, Brian Eno, Hugh Masakela, Robert Plant and David Sylvian. I have created music with Arve Henriksen, Byron Wallen, Evi Vine, B J Cole, Henry Lowther, Cleveland Watkiss, Emily Burridge and many other amazing talents and have collaborated with legendary sound engineer Phill Brown (Traffic, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Talk Talk etc.) on several of my albums.

I am also a film-maker, having made over 20 short and longer-form films. I perform live with my Dream Maps band and imagery from my Breath Project www.breathproject.net.

I have been invited to talk about my work by TED in the UK and USA. These talks and a wide range of my work is on www.philipclemo.com

    When I came to SoundBetter, I sought out the best of the best which led me to Philip. The experience has been wonderful, fruitful and an opportunity to expand myself by observing a true professional and creative giant in action. Phil's attention to detail, patience and willingness to explore are exceptional, not to mention he's just a really cool guy to work with too.....It's been a wonderful experience, Phil's highly gifted and also highly recommended.

    It was a very smooth and nice collaboration. Philip is a great musician, easy to communicate and work with and he came up with some wonderful ideas! We also discovered to be pretty much aligned in terms of musical and cultural references. Hope we may continue collaborating in the future. Compliments for his own musical and artistic projects!

    Phil is a really creative musician and producer. His knowledge of the technology and ability to realise a remit is absolutely five star. His soundscapes are mesmerising and I always find his work to be wonderfully inspiring.

    I have found Phil to be a truly creative force. He has unique talents and a fantastic ear. I have had the pleasure of performing on a number of his recordings and have always been insipred by his sound worlds.
