Neil Milton

Neil is a writer and artist.  He studied a BA in English Lit. and Creative Writing at UEA, Norwich, and a MA in Sound Art at LCC [UAL], London. [He also has a PGCE in post compulsory education from UEL.] He has published a YA novella, two pamphlets of poetry, two collections of short stories, and written a mem-r. He has been known to write lyrics, film and music journalism, and film scripts.

Developing on his fine art and design practice, he is currently exploring audio-visual mediums. Still preoccupied with language in all forms, he explores the relationship between words and their sonification, and text as semantic signifier and aesthetic image. Inspired by collage, experimental film, expanded cinema and VJing, his work is a dialogue between the elements of sound, image and textual language.

Previously immersed in club culture, thematically he is engaged by issues of substance, altered states, spiritual transcendence, meditative bodily expression, and furthering communication. He is also interested in the therapeutic aspects of sound and its use as medium for exploring 'ill' mental states.

Also a DJ and music producer, he has produced a dance music album and sonified a collection of poetry.  He has presented radio, modelled and acted.
