"Spanning a gamut of sonic aggression and inscrutable lyricism, Secret People inhabits zones where certain approaches to 'rock' and 'jazz' meet, or don't meet."

Scott Gibbons​​ has been composing music for more than 30 years, with a two-fold exploration into the possibilities of natural acoustic sound on the one hand, and those of audio technology on the other. Although he is a seminal and influential composer of Dark Ambient and micromusic, his work is not so easily pigeonholed. His compositions demonstrate an acute balance between delicacy and physicality, often focusing around frequencies that are at the outermost limits of human hearing, and embracing quietness as a central element. A series of early releases on the Sub Rosa label - based only on singular natural sound sources such as stones and air - has received praise from all over the world and provided inspiration for many "single-source" artists in their wake. He has created many unique electronic instruments for use on stage and has earned a strong reputation for his live performances. In fact his first live album - 1999's Field Notes - was one of All-Music Guide's "Best Albums of the Year" across all music genres. Gibbons has also created many works for large-scale spectacle with Groupe F to accompany fireworks which utilize the sound of pyrotechnics as part of the musical arrangement.

In addition to collaborating with Early Music ensembles including the Hilliard Ensemble and the Roberto Gini Ensemble, Gibbons has also worked wth Contemporary artists such as Dead Voices On Air, Not Breathing, and the Flying Luttenbachers. He has released more than 30 albums with various groups and solo, including seminal electro-acoustic works by Lilith: Stone (Sub Rosa: '92) and Redwing (Sub Rosa: '94) ; music created entirely from sounds recorded at the molecular level for the performance Unheard ('13) with Romeo Castellucci; a suite created from the writings of a goat entitled The Cryonic Chants (KML Recordings: '08) with Chiara Guidi ; forward-looking synthetic pop by Strawberry: Strawberry (Taigkyo: '02) ; critically acclaimed electronica by Orbitronik: My Computer My Stereo (Thousand: '99) ; and, with Golan Levin & Gregory Shakar: Dialtones / a Telesymphony (Staalplaat: '02), a performance for more than 200 cell phones. He has increasingly sought to intertwine music with other disciplines, and to collaborate with artists from diverse fields. He has created music and sonic events for the award-winning theatre productions of Romeo Castellucci and Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio (Genesi: From the Museum of Sleep, Tragedia Endogonidia, Inferno); Flame Tornado ('05) with Kevin Binkert of Survival Research Labs; music for the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower which incorporated sounds of the tower itself, and a string of commissions for the Palace of Versailles with pyrotechnic company Groupe F; and Subterranean Sky ('01) with sculptor george deMerle. His compositions frequently appear in international loci such as the Swiss National Exposition (Switzerland), the ARS Electronica Festival (Austria) and the Louvre (France).
