Martin Riches was born 1942 on the Isle of Wight, UK. He was educated at Hollingbury Court School, Hurstpierpoint College and finished his studies at the Architectural Association, London in 1968. In 1969 he moved to Berlin where he had his first one man show in 1973 at Haus am Kleistpark, showing Time Signals (a sound installation), an early hang glider, a couple of clocks, aerial photography using kites and other objects reflecting his interests at the time. The show was accompanied by three concerts with Eberhard Blum, flute, and Helmut Krauss, speaker. Since 1978 he has worked exclusively as an artist. His work is shown in exhibitions and concerts in Germany

and abroad. His projects have been shown at the ICA and the British Museum in London, at Kiasma in Helsinki, the New York Hall of Science, at the ICC and the University of Tokyo, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Museo Egizio in Turin, the Centre for Art and Media (ZKM) in Karlsruhe, the Galerie Gianozzo in Berlin and in many other places. His music machines, speech synthetizers and sound installations are also presented at concerts and music festivals. They have played at the Philarmonie Luxembourg, the Philarmonie Essen, in Darmstadt and Donaueschingen, at Het Apollohuis - and elsewhere. They have inspired many composers to write for them.
