Bob Recon is originally from Palo Alto, California. As a child Bob Recon was electrocuted by a faulty electric toothbrush which caused him to become sensitive to both low and high frequency sounds beyond the range of normal human hearing. After completing his master's degree in Neurobiology at Stanford University, Bob applied his scientific training to his life's passion: music. He pioneered work in extreme frequency music--music which is inaudible to human hearing--and the use of portable EEG machines to record the brain's response to ultra-high and low frequency sounds. In April, 2004, Bob Recon performed his controversial "High-Frequency Lounge Music for Cats and Dogs" at the Rainbow Triangle Gay-Lesbian Nursing Home in Berkeley, California. In July, 2004, at McClursky's Bowling Alley in Fresno, California, Bob Recon performed the first "Extreme Frequency Jam Concert" at which guests wore portable EEG machines and danced to the sight of their brainwaves responding to his inaudible improvisations.

In the fall of 2004, after several lawsuits from angry dog owners, Bob Recon moved to London, England to continue his research. He has become an infamous figure in the London underground sound-art scene, easily identifiable in his signature Australian fedora, green-tinted glasses, white shirt and photographer's vest. In 2005 he made a documentary film titled "The Many Faces of Julian H. Scaff" for which he received the coveted "FugNacious Enigma Award" from the East Dulwich Postmodernist Society.

Bob Recon is currently traveling and producing radio programmes for the radio station ResonanceFM.
