Phil Thornton

I have been producing ambient/chill out music for the last 20 years.

In 2005 my 31st album 'Enchanted Egypt' was released (my 3rd collaboration with Egyptian Percussion master Hossam Ramzy).

If you would like to see in depth info on all my CD and DVD releases please go to my web site

where you will find a full discography etc



For the last 10 years the music has had an increasingly ethnic/world music flavour taking in sounds and performances from Arabic,Tibetan,Native American,Brazilian Capoeira,Eastern European and

Australian Musicians to create a unique and diverse catalogue of albums and sound tracks.



I am also part of the Earthdance

production team responsible for the 'Buddha Experience' chill out compilation albums as well as the 'Zen Beats' DVD and the Capoira album for the Spiritual Vitamins label.

Please have a look at our 'Earthdance' web site for more details.



I enjoy blending electronic / electric textures in to the mix. I got my first synthesiser

back in 1973 and have been exploring the possibilities ever since !!



Back in the early 80's I founded an experimental group expandis dedicated to producing synth/guitar based music from punk influenced songs through to ambient soundscapes, which led me in to the world of 'New Age' music where I have been able to

develop my current 'world music' sound.
