Digitonal

Digitonal are a British trio combining modern classical and electronics. With all three musicians coming from classically trained backgrounds, taking these teachings and combining them with a love of electronic music has given them a genuinely unique sound. Deep, lush violins, clarinets, harps and keys drifting into hip-hop and electro infused rhythms, with the precision production of the highest echelon of technology. Managing to seamlessly breach the gap beetween the two genres. their music rotates heavily on both radio stations such as Classic FM, as well as underground electronica netradio.

Although producer Andy Dobson had been writing and performing as Digitonal since 1997, it wasn't until the addition of violinist Samy Bishai in 2000, and drummer Callum Macmillan in 2002 that the outfit's identity properly took shape. Acclaimed releases for Toytronic and Seed records followed which fused the boundaries of both modern classical and electronic movements, garnering across the board praise from critics of both faiths. Their latest release introduced legendary ambient vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw to the lineup who the band continue to work with.

Digitonal are live favourites with high-profile shows under their belt for the Royal National Theatre, Institute of Contemporary Arts, Cheltenham International Festival of Classical Music, The Dedbeat Festival, and the Big Chill festival, as well as many more across the UK, US and Europe.
