Philip Miller is a South African composer based in Johannesburg. Born in 1964, he first practiced law before establishing a career in music. His work is not easily categorized, often developing out of collaborative projects in theatre, film and video.

One of his most significant collaborators is the internationally acclaimed artist, William Kentridge. His music to Kentridge’s animated films, and multimedia installations, has been heard in some of the most prestigious museums and galleries all over the world, including MOMA, SFMOMA, The Guggenheim Museums (both New York and Berlin) La Fenice Opera House and the Tate Modern. Out of this collaboration, the live concert series, “ Nine Drawings for Projection” and “ Sounds from the Black Box” has evolved, touring Australia, the UK, Germany, Italy, Belgium, France and the US.

In 2007, Miller conceived and composed Rewind, a Cantata for voice, tape and testimony, an award- winning choral work, based on the testimonies of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa.

As a film composer, he has scored features such as Catch a Fire (directed by Phillip Noyce), Forgiveness (Ian Gabriel) and Max and Mona (Teddy Mattera).
