Bob Holroyd

Bob Holroyd's music explores the terrain where technological and primeval music intersect. Although realized in a London recording studio, Holroyd's fourth full-length collection, “Without Within”, features elements of Asian and African cultures flourishing within the rhythms and melodies. One of the tracks, titled "Dreams of Olduvai," evokes the African region holding the earliest evidence of human life. That reference could allude to the appeal of any given Bob Holroyd track, where the digital magic of his recording studio enables the musically articulate Englishman to summon visions of lost worlds. Remarkably, his primordial songs and soundscapes play equally well in dance clubs or in a place like the edge of the Olduvai Gorge echoing both man's earliest musical aspirations and his most recent inventions.
