Andrew Dobson has been recording and performing his particular take on classically-influenced electronica as Digitonal since 1997. Part of the late phase of UK melodic electronica, he came to prominence on the seminal Toytronic Records label with a track on the classic Neurokinetic compilation and a debut album, 23: Things Fall Apart, on the label shortly afterwards. Since then he has recorded for Seed Records, Cactus Island, Uncharted Audio, B12 and [abel]Just Music who released Save Your Light for Darker Days in 2008, followed by retrospective compilation Be Still My Bleeping Heart. Alongside frequent collaborator, Egyptian violinist Samy Bishai, and a flexible array of musicians including cellist Jo Quail and harpist Kat Arney, Digitonal have toured extensively and have been in demand as a live act, known for their improvised sets of great range and beauty. He is currently working on his next studio album, due for release later in 2013.
