John-Robin Bold works across music, sound, video and internet art. He has released solo albums on Mille Plateaux (John-Robin Bold, 2020) and Quanta Records (Demonstrations, 2020), as well as collaborations on mappa (Symposium Musicum, 2023) and Glenn Dancer Records (we may be on the way, 2021). Following studies in classical guitar and computer music, his heterogenous musical output is united by an attention to compositional form, harmonic structure and timbre. 

Responding to the onlineness of culture and aesthetic perception today, Bold creates internet art which turns platform functions into instruments for user interaction. The work SoundCloud Gazing: website-specific music was presented in a solo exhibition at /rosa in Berlin 2022.  Since then, his ongoing 20-part YouTube video series Audio Library of  a Viewable World has been shown in numerous international screenings and group exhibitions.

Originally from Hamburg, Germany, Bold lives in Manchester, UK.
