About

Bill Bruford, a seminal figure in the progressive rock and electronic music scenes, initially rose to prominence as the dynamic drummer for Yes. His adventurous style and technical prowess set him apart, leading him into influential collaborations with King Crimson, Roy Harper, and U.K. throughout the 1970s. Notably, Bruford's exploration into electronic percussion greatly influenced the texture of progressive rock and opened new vistas in the use of electronic drums in the genre.

In 1978, Bruford established his own band, Bruford, marking a pivotal moment in his career where his innovative use of electronic drumming further blurred the lines between rock and electronic music. The band was a crucible for experimentation, melding jazz, rock, and electronic elements into a distinct sound that pushed the boundaries of contemporary music. Through his pioneering approach and relentless pursuit of new musical landscapes, Bruford has left an indelible mark on the world of electronic and progressive music.
