Profile

Scott Gibbons (1969) is an American-born composer and performer of electroacoustic music. Active for over 30 years in the field of sound experimentation, he is a seminal figure for dark ambient and micromusic, utilizing a two-fold exploration into the possibilities of natural acoustic phenomena on the one hand, and those of audio technology on the other.


Since 1998 Gibbons has created music and sonic events for the award-winning theatre productions of Romeo Castellucci and Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio (Genesi. From the Museum of Sleep, the cycles of Tragedia Endogonidia and La Divina Commedia).


He has released more than 30 albums with various groups and solo, including electroacoustic works Stone and Redwing (Sub Rosa) released under the pseudonym Lilith; The Cryonic Chants (KML Recordings) suite composed with Chiara Guidi; Il Terzo Reich/The Third Reich (Xing) techno mantra for Romeo Castellucci; My Computer My Stereo (Thousand), A Telesymphony (Staalplaat) sound performance for more than 200 mobile phones with Levin & Shakar.


Gibbons also creates music for large-scale firework spectacles with Groupe F, for the inauguration of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and for the 120th anniversary celebration of the Eiffel Tower incorporating sounds of the tower itself. He has also collaborated with artists as diverse as the Hilliard Ensemble, Survival Research Labs, Dead Voices On Air, Not Breathing, and the Flying Luttenbachers.
