Biography
Bob Dickinson worked briefly with Magazine in the late seventies as keyboardist, contributing the song, 'Motorcade', to the first album, 'Real Life'. This followed a classical music education and work with a number of European avant garde composers, preceded and followed by projects with Cabaret Voltaire and Dick Witts (of 'The Passage'). In the eighties, he devoted his energies to educational work alongside collaborative projects with dancers and artists from other disciplines. The nineties witnessed an increasing involvement and interest in music, ritual and nature, culminating in the publication of 'Music and the Earth Spirit' by Capall Bann in 2001. In recent years he has composed pieces for 10-string classical guitar and small chamber ensembles which have been performed in South Africa and Canada. An album of recent work, 'Logic, Beauty and Chaos', has been released on the JNN netlabel based in the Netherlands. Currently he is working on a commission for the Firebird Trust for a chamber work for the Komposit ensemble.
