Zoltan Dobi is an avant-garde, recording project and musical endeavor, started in the late 90’s by 2 friends: Adrian Taylor and alGARhythm BaiLey. Both born and raised in the Orlando, Florida area. The native noise made by these 2 individuals consists of assorted, auditory stylez containing portions of: post rock, sound collage, experimental analog electronics, satire, and lush ambianica. Heavily influenced by psycodelic rock as well by more modern experimentalist post punk acts and aesthetics. Zoltan Dobi hopes to have continued the tradition of artists who paved the path of auditory exploration before them. Acts like Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett especially, Brian Wilson, Nick Drake, and The Velvet Underground all heavily affected our psche’s. Combined with more recent influences such as: Beck, Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, Slint, Brainiac, Enon, Animal Collective. The musics of these artists was/is important to us. The totem pole of musical history continues with Zoltan Dobi’s strange blend of hard edged softness and ironic lush land-scapism escapism. Multi-faceted, omnidirectional, and limitless possibilities abound.
With hundreds of heard & unheard recordings under their belts to date. The early part of the new millennium marked an important chapter in the growth of Zoltan Dobi’s development as original, auditory entities and true purveyors of unfettered, undefineable musical sound. The culmination of which was their 2005 full length album, “Cooter Beek Invades Foreign Occupations“.
alGARhythm released his first 2 albums, “the South Pole on Fire” & “Reinventing the Orange” on Polyvibe Records. He is currently w3rking on new alGARhythm recordings, imagery, videos, and collaborations.
