Biography
His compositions are often the result of a close working relationship with the musicians themselves. Padding's collaboration, since 1998, with the avant-garde quintet Ensemble LOOS has resulted in a number of works, both with and without electronics. The ensemble played the premiere of the opera Tattooed Tongues, to a libretto by Friso Haverkamp, at the Warsaw Autumn Festival in 2001. Padding's works are performed by prominent ensembles, soloists and orchestras in the Netherlands and abroad. Additionally he has made radio documentaries, and was the longtime piano accompanist of the modern dance company led by Krisztina de Châtel.
Employment is recorded with Royal Conservatory of The Hague. Work by Martijn Padding is recorded in the collections of Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
