Neil Milton is a Scottish composer, musician and DJ living in Warsaw in Poland. He is also the owner of Too Many Fireworks records. His self-titled and beneath us, the waves projects have been described as glacial snowdrifts of ambient soundscapes, electronic experiments and haunting, elegant modern-classical compositions.

He began writing and recording music 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, Errors and Titus Gein among others. In 2004, too many fireworks gave birth to its Glasgow club-night, Fire: Works and Neil took up DJing which was later described as electro-disco-wonk-pop.

In 2009, after a break of several years, Neil began writing music for a new ambient/soundscape project, beneath us, the waves before starting to compose and record modern-classical music and experimental electronic music under his own name. Recently, he has begun work on a new electro / remixing project called Allons-y!

In October 2010, Neil released his debut solo e.p., named elements – a collection of 5 modern-classical pieces for piano and string quartet, on Too Many Fireworks and in March 2011 he released the follow up to elements, White Spring, Black Cloud on Manchester’s Valentine Records.

Neil is a keen collaborator, writing and arranging orchestration for others and scoring music for film.
