Richard Bone has a deeper music history than most ambient and electro-lounge artists. He grew up in the 1960s, ingesting psychedelic groups like The United States of America. In the 1980s he became a new wave artist, but by the 90s, he'd discovered jazz and bossa nova and began incorporating them into a personal electronic sound. His latest album, SAIYUJI (Quirkworks), continues his explorations into ethno-electro-exotica. In his Rhode Island home, Richard Bone talks about his electronic awakening and the music he creates.
