Richard Youngs

Richard Youngs is a British musician based in Glasgow since the early 1990s, whose catalogue formally begins with Advent in 1990 and now runs to well over a hundred titles, solo and collaborative. He follows no single style: minimalist song cycles, long drones, folk-inflected ballads and electronic experiments sit side by side. He most often plays the guitar, but has used shakuhachi, accordion, theremin and even the sound of a motorway bridge.
