Ian Boddy

Emerging from the post Tangerine Dream/Cosmic Music generation, Ian Boddy has carved out a position as a distinctive independent composer and performer. A consistant presence on the European electronic music scene since the late 1970s, this British based sonic explorer established the DiN label in 1999; a venture which allows Boddy to collaborate with a variety of musicians as well as to release material by other innovative artists. Thus far DiN has released 21 CDs (with Boddy involved musically in 14) and achieved widespread critical acclaim for its adventurous outlook at the world of electronic music.

Ian Boddy provides the listener with a rich atmosphere of original timbres and floating soundscapes. He is one of the few of his generation to have successfully integrated electronic music styles as diverse as seventies-style sequencer structures, melodic neo-classicism and the post-rave Modern Ambient style.

Next to Boddy's impressive solo career stands his collaborative live performance and studio efforts with several of Electronic Music's most innovative and interesting personalities including: Ron Boots, Chris Carter, Andy Pickford, Robert Rich, Markus Reuter and the ongoing project Arc with Mark Shreeve..

A prolific performer, Boddy is credited with over 90 live appearances. He has performed at concerts in Britain (UK Electronica Festival, Jodrell Bank Planetarium), Holland (Klemdag Festival, Alpha-Centauri Festival), Germany and Stateside at The Gatherings Concert Series.

Boddy muses, "When I play live it gives me a whole different outlook on whether the music will work or not. It's not just the audience feedback. I have to really, really think about what I am doing. To stand back and examine the music a bit more". Boddy's performance at The Gatherings Concert Series in Philadelphia on 6 May 2000 marked his first ever concert in the USA. He returns on 30 September 2006.
