Biography
Neil Milton is a Scottish musician, singer and composer living in Warsaw in Poland. He is also the owner of Too Many Fireworks records.
He began writing and recording music in 1999 with 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, the label gave birth to its Glasgow club-night, Fire: Works and Neil took up DJing, in a style which was later affectionately described as electrodiscowonkpop.
After a break of several years, Neil began to compose and record modern-classical music and experimental, ambient soundscapes and in October 2010, he released his debut solo e.p., named elements - a collection of 5 modern-classical pieces for piano and string quartet, on Too Many Fireworks. In March 2011, he released the follow-up to elements; 'white spring, black cloud' on Manchester's Valentine Records and in August 2012, he released a double e.p. set mixing modern classical and ambient soundscapes. The collection, titled 'Skies / Seas', was released on Valentine records.
In May 2013, Neil performed a solo acoustic guitar show in Warsaw, singing in front of an audience for the first time since 2004. Since then, he has moved back towards guitar-driven indie music and is writing his debut solo guitar record.
