Composer · Musician · Photographer · Writer
Bobby is an artist working across sound, image, and language, exploring the quiet spaces where emotion gathers and meaning lingers. Whether through music, photography, or poetry, his work is rooted in interior stillness. Concerned less with explanation and more with presence, atmosphere, and feeling.
His creative practice often begins with fragments: a line of verse, a still image, a memory that refuses to settle. These elements move fluidly between mediums. Poems become melodies, photographs suggest rhythm and silence, and music unfolds like a visual landscape. Each discipline informs the others, forming a single, evolving body of work rather than separate pursuits.
As a composer and musician, Bobby is drawn to instrumental and emotive forms that translate inner experience into sound. His music does not demand attention; it invites it. Slowly revealing tension, restraint, and release. Shaped by early years playing guitar in rock bands and later embracing the bass as his primary instrument, his musical voice is grounded, textural, and deeply melodic. Influences from rock, classical, blues, and fusion contribute to a style that values phrasing, tone, and space as much as technical expression.
Photography occupies an equally central place in his work. Often minimal and contemplative, his images focus on light, isolation, texture, and stillness. They are not documentary, but emotional. Capturing moments that feel half-remembered or on the verge of disappearing. Like his music, the photographs resist narrative certainty, offering instead a quiet invitation to pause and look inward.
Poetry and writing form the connective tissue between these practices. His words are spare, intimate, and often unresolved, echoing the same emotional restraint found in his compositions and imagery. Themes of distance, memory, longing, and inner displacement recur—sometimes directly, sometimes only as an undercurrent. Writing is not an accompaniment to the work; it is a parallel voice, shaping and being shaped by the other mediums.
Underlying all of Bobby’s creative output is a persistent curiosity and a commitment to craft. He continues to explore new instruments, techniques, and forms of expression, not in pursuit of perfection, but allowing each piece to emerge naturally, without force or excess.
To hear is to feel.
To see is to remember.
To write is to make sense of what remains.
Through music, photography, and poetry, Bobby delves to create spaces for reflection. Works that do not seek to explain the world, but to sit quietly within it.
Bobby is always available for side collaborations with other composers and musicians. If you want to chat about ideas, books, poetry or anything else, don’t hesitate in reaching out.
