In these years he has worked with members of XTC, Bevis Frond, Cake and The Soft Boys. His music combines psychedelia and luminous pop in the best tradition of Syd Barrett , Beatles , Robyn Hitchcock and Julian Cope ."

"Prolific, pretentious, precocious, intelligent, quirky, nasal, amusing, annoying to some, pop genius to others, and never ever boring—this, my friends, is the cumulative description of northern California's musical auteur Anton Barbeau." 
—PopMatters

"He's a genius like Julian Cope" - Johnny Normal

Rafael Diogo is an ambient composer and sound designer based in London, whose works move across experimental paths and natural investigations into everyday sounds.

I create soundscapes in a variety of moods and shapes but mainly I favour the sound of stories embedded into objects and places, a feeling of great immediacy, the phenomenological sense of place and time, the despair for that loss, a memory. 

The practice of travelling enabled me to embrace the boundless possibilities of perceiving the world from many distinct angles. 

My body of work maintains both an ecologic focus that emphasises nature's challenges and fragilities and a wide-eyed spirit of exploration, creating unforeseen liminal soundscapes that can reveal hidden information about a place or a moment that no longer exists.
