Phill Niblock is an intermedia artist using music, film, photography, video and computers. He Niblock makes thick, loud drones of music, filled with microtones of instrumental timbres which generate many other tones in the performance space.

Since the mid-60's he has been making music and intermedia performances which have been shown at numerous venues around the world among which: The Museum of Modern Art; The Wadsworth Atheneum; the Kitchen; the Paris Autumn Festival; Palais des Beaux Arts, Brussels; Institute of Contemporary Art, London; Akademie der Kunste, Berlin; ZKM; Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard; World Music Institute at Merkin Hall NYC.
