Deptford 2007
This biogography was written in the third person for The Normblog Profile, and slightly expanded here...
Richard Sanderson was born in 1960. He is originally from Middlesbrough in the North East of England, but has lived in London for 24 years. After a background in punk and post-punk groups he shifted into experimental music. Playing electronics, toys and squeezebox, he has recorded and performed with many left-field musicians. He was a director of London Musicians Collective for 10 years, and ran several clubs promoting experimental and improvised music such as "The Club Room", "Baggage Reclaim", "Western Civilisation" and "Scaledown". In 2005 he joined Blackheath Morris Men as a dancer. In July 2005, together with Neil Denny, Richard created the 'rationalist' radio show Little Atoms. In 2009 he left the world of paid employment in the music business, and scaled down his other activities to look after his two young children. He has been married to Ruth for 15 years.
Here's another profile of me from when I was the PRS Foundation Guest of the Month

Some Quotes about me-
Spoombung says-
"Morris dancing, atheist humanist, promoter, prolific crank-bashing poster and unique musician, Richard Sanderson''s site is always worth a visit. Check out his monthly experimental, musical guests at his Scaledown club and get inside his mind. This man has put cool back into political moderation"
Thomas Truax says-
"Richard Sanderson who hosts the
night is great, he's like the London's version of Irwin Chusid, even physically to a degree, championing obscure, strange and wonderful music from all over the
map..."
Time Out has called me
"A Toy Rattling Maniac" and an "Electronic Guru"
Dan Warburton in the Paris Review said I
"flirt deliciously with the fringes of soft techno"
Everett True said I
"played some very sweet and haunting laptop electronica, hidden among the rafters" and that I "deserved more attention for sure"
AC Grayling said of "Little Atoms"
"Music to my ears, that radio show of yours: you are a shining candle in a dark world."
Damian Thompson (leader writer for The Daily Telegraph) - called me
"a dyed-in-the-wool leftie"
MJD of 9/11 and 7/7 conspiracy theorists We Are Change UK - said
""you have zero interest in rudimentary elements of logic, interpretation, comprehension, integrity, and common sense"
