The Fantastical Existence of RICHARD BONE
(in easily digestible tiny pieces)
DISLOCATED BONE
Richard Bone grew up in Savannah, Georgia, spent intermediate years
developing musically and otherwise in NYC's Greenwich Village, and
currently resides in the secluded Bone Chateau in Rhode Island.
BONE INFLUENCES
Bone's early musical influences include Joseph Byrd's UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, his "first true introduction to state of the art electronics used
in a rock format without guitars."
EARLY BONEMUSIC
When he lived in New York in the early 80s, Bone was a member of the
successful theatrical band Shox Lumania, which toured very
extensively and released material on the ROIR label. Around this
time, he started to work
on some more experimental solo material on the side, some of which was
released in Europe on labels such as Chrysalis France.
QUIRK-BONE-WORKS
In 1991, Bone started his own label, Quirkworks Laboratory Discs, to
release the aptly-named quirky pop work, QUIRKWORK. This was followed
by another release in a similar vein, X CONSIDERS Y.
BONEVOLUTION
The release of AMBIENTO in 1994 signalled the commencement of a new
direction for the music of Richard Bone -- into ambient/space music.
Though releases such as METAPHYSICAL MAMBO and the current ELECTROPICA
integrate the use of Latin/tropical rhythms, Bone sees his current mission
as a "journey into the mystic."
