CREATORS SPOTLIGHT Philip Bignell Harris

Philip Bignell Harris

I started learning instruments at 15, and I got into creating electronic music in FL Studio when I was 18. I have put out 2 physical CD’s and some 10 or 15 albums on Bandcamp, not counting all the compilation albums with other artists. As an artist, I create mostly drum’n’bass, but I can compose in any genre for other people’s projects based on what they want.  My own Record label company is called MIBIT RECORDS, and I have my own small team of music artists that I work with. I also worked at Montreal’s Steve’s Music Store for 7 years, so in all, it’s been 15 years since I’m playing and making music.
At Spectrum Productions, I compose music for video projects (e.g. “Sweets with Pete” by Peter Papaioannou, “The Blobz” by Lucas Leroy, the SCU saga, and countless other summer films and projects). I am also a sound recordist, operating the boom mic and recording device on studio shoots and contracts. I am part of the production team.

In 2018, I signed up for a VR collaborative project with TOPO, a Montreal-based art center, and I started using Unity for world-building projects.

One thing I can say about myself: give me any software, I’ll figure it out on my own. I also custom-built, upgrade and fix my own computer. 

I also play drums and electronic keyboard, and I do MIDI in and out to compose music.
My own Record label company MIBIT RECORDS have my own small team of music artists.

Also have my own custom computer build from scratch ordered each part individually a friend and I also fixed my computer, fixed the cpu overheating problem added air cooler / and upgrade the ram from 16 gigs to 32 and know how to clean it and know how to update the pc myself.

HOBBIES AND PASSIONS

I like listening to club mixes and drum&bass artists. I run my own record label and I talk to other record labels and show producers online.

My big dream is to live-DJ for a large crowd. Most recently, I started DJ-ing in VR chat, it’s experimental right now, but I hope to do more of it.

I like gaming, and hang out with my friends online while playing video games. I’ve also started streaming on Twitch.

SPECIALIZATION

I’m a sound artist, and I’m open to any field in sound. I would love to do sound effects for VR maps for a big VR company. I also record sound on set, and I do sound design for video.
