Bob Malkowski - Sound Engineer/Musician
I have been playing and performing music all my life, coupled with my fathers influence in electronics, it was inevitable the two would combine at some point!
Following a three year study, Graduated with a BSc Honours degree in Music Technology in 2001.

Bob The Musician
I've been playing music ever since I could sit on the stool of the family Hammond organ :)
I am a mutli-instrumentalist, profficient in disciplines of keyboard/piano, guitar, bass guitar, and majoring in drums and percussion.
My first major break came upon joining electro-pop outfit The Modern in 2004. The band were not soon after signed to Mercury records. I subsequently enjoyed 2 years of touring, and recording, some 200 gigs including Ibiza's Manumission club and the Reading and Leeds Festivals.
In 2006 I left the Modern and joined the band New Skin for their support slot on Gary Numan's tour of USA/Canada.
In January of 2007 I was asked to contribute to the acclaimed Industrial band 'Inertia', as a recording and touring member of the band.
This cuminated in the band's album 'Inertia', and on a five week tour of the US promoting the album.
Latterly I came on board full time as a member of Inertia.
In December 2007 I guested as a guitarist with Sisters Of Mercy alumnus 'James Ray' and his '25 men' project at the March Violets re-union gig at Leeds Metropolitan university.
