Noel Quinlan is an Australian composer who has lived for many years in the Orient, particularly in Hong Kong and China. He started Big Sky in the early 90 s to help fill the gap between Eastern and Western music, and was one of the first composers to explore the World Fusion genre.
His Middle Kingdom CD series of recordings aims to bridge the gap between East and West. The recordings combine fine Oriental musicians with the Western sensibilities of sound and harmony, and provide a look into different times and culture. The series has sold over 1,000,000 copies in Asia, and his music is heard worldwide in movies, documentaries, and TV series such as Yan Can Cook.
He divides his time between Australia and Hong Kong while he works on new projects and improving his golf game.
