Zoë Martlew

Zoë Martlew is a composer whose music 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 — her critically acclaimed debut release as composer on NMC Records — gathers pieces that chart a lifelong journey through performance, ritual, and fearless artistic experiment. A polymath creative force, she has travelled the globe as cellist, cabaret artist, writer, broadcaster, curator, educator and mentor — a kaleidoscopic path that now converges in her radiant voice as composer.
