Philip Mantione

Philip Mantione is a Los Angeles-based sound artist, composer, sound designer, guitarist, computer musician, educator, writer and multimedia artist whose career spans over two decades. His work includes music for orchestra, chamber ensembles, computer, fixed media, interactive performance, multimedia and sound installation, and sound design for experimental video. He writes custom software to meld field recordings, samples and computer generated sounds into unique sonic textures. Through the extrapolation, superimposition and integration of external structures, data sets and found sounds, he sculpts musical forms that provide the framework for engaging and unexpected content. Mantione is the recipient of two Meet the Composer grants and a recent commission from New Music USA for Riverside Whistles and Bells, an extended site-specific piece for hand bell choir, carillon and live electronics. His music has been performed internationally at venues in NYC, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Berlin, Beijing, Sau Paulo, and Paris. Mantione is a contributing author of technical articles, software reviews and interviews, and a producer of video tutorials for The Pro Audio Files, an industry-respected online source of educational literature and video content for audio engineering professionals.
