Bone began his professional musical career creating soundtracks and scores for several off-Broadway companies working in experimental theater. In 1979 he released with his band Bone the single "Pirate the Islands/Headlines Have It" before joining the band Shox Lumania in 1981. That same year Bone recorded a solo 7" called "Digital Days/Alien Girl" on his own that was picked up by Survival Records in the UK. While with Survival he released two LPs, four EPs, two 45s and composed several singles for various compilation albums. His 1983 single "Joy of Radiation" reached #1 on the Hong Kong Dance Chart.

In 1991 Bone started Quirkworks Laboratory Discs, allowing him the freedom to create music of a more experimental nature and remain in control of his musical direction. The next sixteen years would see Bone release twenty-one recordings of new material, three CDs of previously unreleased tracks, two collaborations and a collection of unreleased backing tracks intended for collaborations, a compilation of previous Quirkworks releases as well as contributing to several multi-artist compilations and various other projects. Of the new material recordings, three quickly rose to the #1 placement on industry charts as well as receiving numerous other honors.
