biography

Philip Przybyło is a composer and producer of Polish descent, born in Ottawa (Canada) in 2000, he moved to Amsterdam to pursue his bachelors and masters degrees in composition at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam in 2018. Philip has studied with Simon Bertrand, Richard Ayres, Wim Henderickx, Jorrit Tamminga, Willem Jeths, Maya Verlaak and Thanasis Deligiannis. Philip’s work has received recognition both in Europe and in Canada, as he has been awarded winner of the Tera de Marenz Oyens Competition during the Gaudeamus Festival in Utrecht 2024 and has won the second place in the Chamber category of the SOCAN Foundation Young Canadian Composers Award in 2024. His works have been performed in leading Dutch venues such as Muziekgebouw aan ’t-ij, Muziekgebouw Eindhoven and Tivoli Utrecht by musicians such as Fie Schouten, Simon Velthuis, 

As a composer of concert music, Philip has composed many works ranging from chamber pieces to electroacoustic works, orchestral compositions and multidisciplinary collaborations. In recent years Philip’s compositions have been characterized by experiments in microtonality and just intonation, drone music as well as a synthesis between the heavier and harsher side of electronic music and instrumental sensitivities. He is also a prolific electronic music producer and co-founder of Anekumena Tapes, an experimental label he leads with Arieh Chrem aka Cartopol. As a duo, they also perform and release music under the name SpaLtd. 

 

Philip’s most recent work "O Czasie, Twe Piramidy" was performed in May in Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, Amsterdam by a newly formed collective called Nieuw Warschau, co-founded by Philip together with composer/ cellist Antek Cholewiński and percussionist Ambroży Golachowski. His composition "bloodshot mangroves. starved reeds'' co-commissioned by the Tera de Marenz Oyens foundation and the Basklarinet Festijn is going to receive its premiere at the Gaudeamus Festival 2025 by clarinetists Fie Schouten and Christopher Watt and will be part of Schouten's Netherlands-wide tour during the autumn and winter season.
