Bibio

Bibio

:"Bibio (Diptera)" is also a genus of flies in the family Bibionidae.

Bibio is the recording name of the British music producer Stephen Wilkinson. He currently releases music on the Mush Records label.

Biographical information

A resident of the West Midlands, England, Stephen Wilkinson developed a passion for experimental music during his time at Middlesex University in London, where he studied "sonic arts". He developed his own style of music, drawing from contemporary experimental electronica bands such as Boards of Canada, and incorporating field recordings and found sounds. Electronically modified guitar melodies and droning synthesizer sounds are a recurring theme in his pieces, causing many people to label his music as a hybrid of electronica or intelligent dance music and traditional folk music.
