The Disco Operating System. A misnomer of sorts, an hilarious wordplay derived from the personal computing term "Disc Operating System"; D.O.S. Pertaining, possibly to the musical form "Disco", or possibly not. Safest bet is that the Disco Operating System is not specifically any of the above, but does involve itself with sonic structures often of a cyclical nature, more often than not created with the aid of computing devices, and on less than most occasions involving a rhythmical gesture with a nod to your local 1970's coke palace.
The Disco Operating System is helmed by Gareth Bibby, who takes great glee in creating solid chunks of electronic joy from random patterns of radiophonic detritus and partially melodic undertones.
Gareth is also the co-driver of Lotta Continua Recordings; a record label with an eye towards the experimental, and Burst Couch; a live music performance event with a similar slant. Both of these interests are shared with David Clarkson, an electronic musician of similar standing to Mr Bibby. They both also inhabit two thirds of the famous Triclops band; sonic rag 'n' bone plunderers to the world.
Speaking of which World Peace has well & truly been declared. Another band of musicians featuring the cack-handed scronk fulcrum of Mr Bibby & Tom Knott, with the addition of twin genii Porl Thorley Ryder and Jonathan Adams. It's a jazzwankimprovgrinddronespacerocksoul outfit and we'll be unleashing some of it on the unsuspecting quite soon.
