Tillman Jex is a Berlin based music maker and sound designer who holds narrative as the central focus of his creative outputs and collaborations. He sees the importance of narrative to be essential in time based art forms, as narrative is intrinsic to our perception of life and can therefore be seen as the medium of communication in which we achieve the deepest connections.
As well as releasing his own music, Tillman has collaborated both locally and internationally on short films, A/V installations, virtual reality products and been invited to publicly speak on music composition and performance. As of 2019 Tillman is a part of the Berlin based artist agency, DRY
Tillman moved to Berlin in 2017 after finishing his Bachelor of Music Composition studies at Melbourne University and as of January 2020 does additional composition and sound design work at Monom, a spatial audio studio in Berlin.
