Martijn Padding (Amsterdam, 1956) studied piano and musicology at the University of Utrecht, and composition with Louis Andriessen at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. His oeuvre ranges from solo instrumental works to large-scale orchestral compositions and music theatre. His more recent works are less prone to the angular construction and pithy harmonic structure of his earlier pieces, and although Padding's music often still exhibits a technical-musical aspect, a theatrical element is increasingly evident and sound is becoming more important.
