Phill Niblock

Phill Niblock is a New York–based minimalist composer, multimedia musician, and director of Experimental Intermedia. Niblock is known for constructing twenty-four-track digitally processed monolithic microtonal drones. The result is sound without melody or rhythm, the tonal variations being almost imperceptible. His vocal pieces are reminiscent of the choral works of György Ligeti. In his Hurdy Hurry and AYU (As Yet Untitled), the role of the producer/composer is emphasized as much as that of the performer. Since 1968, he has put on over 1,000 concerts in his loft space, including Ryoji Ikeda, Zbigniew Karkowski, and Jim O’Rourke.
