Philip Dadson is a New Zealand musician and artist, who was in the foundation group for the Scratch Orchestra and founder of From Scratch. He was made an Arts Laureate by the Arts Foundation of New Zealand in 2001, and an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2005.[1][2][3] He lectured at the Elam School of Fine Arts, part of the University of Auckland from 1977, leaving in 2001 to take up full-time art practice.

He co-authored the 2007 book Slap Tubes and other Plosive Aerophones with fellow instrument inventor Bart Hopkin, whose 1998 CD/book Gravikords, Whirlies & Pyrophones had also featured Dadson's group From Scratch.

In 2015, a feature film documentary titled Sonicsfromscratch, documenting Dadson's career, was premiered at the New Zealand International Film Festival.[4]
