Ambient, world fusion, experimental, chillout, electronica; these are just some of the genres Bob Holroyd’s music has been described as. But not wanting to be categorised, he has long pioneered music that crosses musical and cultural boundaries.
Spiced with world influences, his music touches all corners of the globe and he has worked with such a diverse range of artists that his music knows no boundaries and becomes almost impossible to describe. Almost.
Just think Brian Eno meets Groove Armada round at Mory Kante’s Buddha Bar, having cocoa down in Acapulco… and you’re nearly there.
COMPILATIONS
My music continues to be used on various compilations: Absence on le cafe abstrait, Autumn Leaves on les ambassadeurs 3, Looking Back on Globality, and due out soon; The Release (Coded Fantasy remix) on Klassik Lounge Nightflight Vol. 03, and African Drug and Waking the Spirits on the Dark Star compilation mixed and compiled by Cosmo and Ashley Beedle.

PARALLELS
The video for 'Parallels' is a symbolic journey that explores connections between my home life in a village in England and a visit to Auschwitz.
The short film follows the parallel lines of the railway track from Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp, to Brookwood cemetery, which houses the graves of thousands of soldiers who gave their lives to bring the war, and ultimately the concentration camps, to a close.
My visits to these places put into context parallels to my own life that I had never previously considered, and though on one level they are worlds apart, they also show how all of our lives, our decisions, and our paths have consequences and impacts far beyond the obvious, and for far longer than we can possibly imagine.
