hey.

I'm Neil and I'm a Scottish "modern classical", "ambient" and "post-rock" musician living in Warsaw in Poland. I also own and run the too many fireworks record label.

These are some photos I've taken going about my daily, music-related, business.

Any photos not taken by me will be clearly marked.

From Last.fm:

Neil Milton is a Scottish musician, composer and record label owner currently living in Warsaw, Poland. His music is a glacial snowdrift of ambient soundscapes and haunting, elegant modern-classical compositions.

Neil began his musical endeavours in 1999 when he and three friends formed the post punk / post rock band, Troika. Before Troika split in 2005, he had formed his own record label, too many fireworks records through which he has released records by Flying Matchstick Men, Laeto and Titus Gein among others.

In 2009, after a break of several years, Neil began writing music for a new project, beneath us, the waves. beneath us, the waves’ music sounds like Ólafur Arnalds and Jóhann Jóhannsson conspiring in secret with Jónsi & Alex and Library Tapes and draws further influences from Sigur Rós, Mogwai, Arvo Pärt and Fryderyk Chopin.

Away from beneath us, the waves, Neil is a member of we sink ships providing both music and photography for the project. He is also a keen collaborator with others, writing and arranging strings for other artists and scoring music for film.
