ABOUT THIS ARTIST
Throughout his career with London Grammar, Dot Major’s love for underground dance music has been an informing factor in the group’s sound and his long-running and — until now — private solo music. In co-founding the group while studying at university in Nottingham, alongside vocalist Hannah Reid and bandmate Dan Rothman, Dot Major drew from his Guildhall training in classical piano and his passion for electronic music to assume the role of multi-instrumentalist.
Moving between modular hardware, keys and drums, he experimented with organic instrumentation and computer-centric beats, warping studio and live techniques to help create the group’s tender-yet-punchy sound.. And as the band shot to stardom, Dot Major started collecting modular synths to develop his solo material. “Getting into synths is like getting into tattoos,” he jokes warmly from his studio, which is packed with machines, wires and blinking lights. “You’re not sure about the first one — but once you start, you quickly end up with way, way too many of them.”
