Philip Clemo is a UK-based artist working in musical composition, sound-design, film, and live performance. With 6 acclaimed albums and his 7th, ‘Through the Wave of Blue’, released in November 2024, Clemo’s sonic landscapes explore form, improvisation, electronica, and orchestration.

He has performed internationally with his ‘Dream Maps’ multi-media project, blending live musical performances with hypnotic imagery. His work has been shown at international film festivals and the V&A Museum, and Eden Project in the UK.

Through his imagery Clemo explores perception, abstraction and where the boundaries of familiarity begin to break down. He uses cutting-edge and novel technologies to capture imagery on scales from ‘galaxies’ in petri-dishes & extreme close-up motion-control tracking over human forms to gyro-stabilised helicopter imagery of Icelandic geothermal fields.

Clemo’s multi-sensory ‘Breath Project’, showcased in his TEDx & TED talks in the UK and USA, delves into our connection with the diverse environments that surround us. Supported by 5 UK universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, and industry leaders such as Arri and Vision Research, it captures extraordinary perspectives of our world.

His current projects include ‘From Silence Into Song’ with the charity Shout at Cancer, exploring the destructive & healing legacies of radiation. It honours the trees that survived the Hiroshima & Nagasaki bombs and a choir of cancer survivors who learnt to sing after the removal of their voiceboxes. This collaboration has already manifested in live performances and workshops in the UK & internationally and will continue into galleries and live spaces in 2025/26.
