Broken Chip is the sonic alias of Australian musician and photographer Martyn Palmer, known for crafting deeply immersive ambient soundscapes that blend warm, organic textures with delicate electronic flourishes. Drawing inspiration from nature, memory, and the quiet beauty of everyday moments, Broken Chip's music often sits at the intersection of lowercase, drone, and ambient experimentalism.

With a background in field recording and sound design, Palmer uses processed environmental sounds, granular synthesis, and subtle melodic fragments to create introspective, meditative compositions. His work has been released on labels such as Home Normal, Flaming Pines and Feral Media, and he has performed alongside a diverse range of artists in the ambient and experimental music scene.

In addition to Broken Chip, Palmer also explores more rhythmic and beat-driven electronic music under the moniker Option Command, showcasing his versatility across different sonic landscapes.

Whether drifting through shimmering drones or crafting intricate micro-sounds, Broken Chips music invites listeners into a world of stillness, reflection, and quiet wonder.
