Martin Franklin is a digital artist & musician, curator, online broadcaster and founder of the Sound:Space sound art symposium in the UK. His artwork combines sound with other media, often resulting in spatial installation pieces which invite contemplation and participation. His many recorded works have been published around the Globe on Beyond Records, Waveform, Fathom Records, Island, Melt 2000 and Faria Records. Performances and exhibitions have included Inpact Festival, Estonia, Pixelpops, Cybersonica, ICA London, Generative Art, Milan and Sonic Arts Research Centre, Belfast and Modern Art Oxford.

As percussionist and electronic composer, he has worked in a diverse number of settings, from Theatre projects with Kathak dancer, Sujata Banerjee, Ghanaian drum troupe, Aklowa and US based dance company, Momix, to remixes for left field dance labels. His work as leader of 90’s Ambient pioneers, TUU spawned a series of enduring albums, including “Terma” [Fathom Records] winner “Best Ambient/Electronic Album” in 1999’s AFIM Music Industry Awards in the USA and “All Our Ancestors”.

Following the conclusion of TUU, Franklin ceased recording for a time, while developing media-based visual artwork and performance, including “Bindu Point” with live artist, Lee Adams. He re-emerged in 2005 with a new solo project under the alias, Codetripper.
