Bobbywomb on his music:
“It was the year that wearing a CD on a chain around your neck first became popular. I plugged a microphone into a computer and checked the recording device was set to ‘Blue Snowball.’ My father laughed loudly when he realised what I was doing, then demanded golf magazines be brought from a dentist’s waiting room. Since then I’ve been striving to capture the sound of slowly whirring metal balloons, steep hills and cold legs. I live in London and am survived by my wife-to-be, two parents and three siblings.”
