About
Zoë Martlew composes music that moves between worlds: crystalline and raw, comic and sacred, intimate and vast. Her works weave ancient echoes with futuristic soundscapes, drawing on myth, language and archetype to create music that feels both timeless and vividly alive. Album Z is her debut solo release as composer, the first collection devoted entirely to her own music, gathering pieces that chart her lifelong journey through performance, ritual and fearless artistic experiment.
