Anode has been the professional "nom de plume" of Robert Carlberg since 1972. Based in Seattle Washington, Anode has dabbled in musique concrète, minimalism, tape music, phonography, drones, manipulations and other non-keyboard-based electronics. Through founding a newsletter for electronic musicians ("SYNEX") and writing a monthly column for Electronic Musician Magazine (1979-1989), Robert became acquainted with many other DIY electronic musicians worldwide, in what eventually became known as "Cassette Culture."
