Interview with Digitonal.
Andrew Dobson started performing as Digitonal in 1997 and began recording with the 2002 album, 23 Things Fall Apart. With the addition of Egyptian violinist Samy Bishai Digitonal hit its stride with the 2008 album, Save Your Light for Darker Days. That album was, simply, a masterpiece, a definitive ambient chamber music exploration with haunting melodies and enveloping atmospheres. Bishai created soaring solos and lush orchestrations while Dobson mixed synthesizer moods with sometimes searing, anguished clarinet playing. They found a common ground between chilled electronic grooves and the modern classicism of Steve Reich and Arvo Pärt. That sound continues on their first album in seven years, Beautiful Broken, an Echoes CD of the Month in June.

Thank you,
