About

gribbles is Graham Thorpe, an amateur musician from the UK. He has been described as a “British electronic music wizard” - which makes him blush and chuckle in equal measure. Originally from Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, like many he was in a few bands in his youth, playing local gigs and getting a small following. Then, again like many, life took over and whilst still keeping his hand in, making music was put on the back burner. He picked up music again in the late nineties with a big beat/found samples solo album that drew comparisons to Bentley Rhythm Ace, and into the 2000s doing Underworld inspired semi-improv live electronica as part of the duo Aztechnology. Aztechnology morphed into quiddity who produced music in a mix of styles from ambient, through to big thumpers - “Like Underworld and Fluke have a Warpy face-off”, as one person put it. More recently, gribbles is mainly working on solo projects with the odd collaboration, and has been putting out a mix of well received ambient, synthwave & electronica tunes. gribbles has been steadily gaining attention with music being included in two indie games released on PlayStation and PC (Polybius and Moose Life) from the critically acclaimed independent software house, Llamasoft. His track Requiem topped the most played chart on SkyLab Radio in August 2020, and ‘I Was’ was chosen for inclusion on the Hippie Drive label’s debut compilation album. His has an album being released via the Werra Foxma sub club in September 2022.
