Manchester based musician Gareth Bibby has been in control of the Disco Operating System since 1996, and has gone on to release many CD’s, CDR’s and a 7" on both RSI and Lotta Continua, the label he now operates alongside David Clarkson (Illuminati). The DOS sound has evolved and mutated quite significantly over this time, but it has always meandered around the peripheries of esoteric experimentation.
Live DOS appearances have stepped up a gear over the last few years, having shared the stage with many acts including To Rococo Rot, Posset, Philip Jeck, Si-Cut.db and Colin Potter to name but a few. Gareth is co-runner of the Lotta Continua label and Burst Couch events with David Clarkson, is one third of improv rag & bone plunderers Triclops and plays bass guitar in alt-rock outfit Team B.
