More recently, he has collaborated with Vince Clarke (as The Clarke & Ware Experiment) on two music projects; the Pretentious album, out in 1999, and Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle, released on 4 June 2001. He has also contributed programmes to internet radio stations. Martyn created a 3D surround sound auditorium for the National Centre for Popular Music in Sheffield - a museum of contemporary music and culture, launched with £15 million of National Lottery money, which opened in March 1999 and closed in July 2000. BBC News described the centre as having been "shunned" by visitors, and, despite a £2 million relaunch, the Centre closed. Despite this, Martyn later used the surround sound technology to launch an Arts Council subsidised touring project called "The Future of Sound". Martyn Ware also has two children named Elena and Gabriel Ware. He attended King Edward VII School in Sheffield.
