Robin Andrew Guthrie (born 4 January 1962) is a Scottish musician, songwriter, composer, record producer and audio engineer, best known as the co‑founder of the dream pop band Cocteau Twins. During his career Guthrie has performed guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, drums and other musical instruments, in addition to programming, sampling and sound processing. Guthrie grew up in Grangemouth, Scotland. There were musical instruments in his family’s home, but he never had any proper musical training. With an interest in electronics and trained as an electrician, Guthrie started to experiment with fuzz boxes and guitar pedals to find an alternative sound for his guitar. Guthrie and his friend Will Heggie were members of a four‑piece band called The Heat, who later released a single under the name The Liberators in 1980. The same year, Guthrie co‑founded Cocteau Twins with Heggie and vocalist Elizabeth Fraser. Following the break‑up of Cocteau Twins in 1998, Guthrie released his first solo record, Imperial, in 2003 on Bella Union Records. Guthrie’s next release, co‑written with Harold Budd, was the film score for Gregg Araki’s Mysterious Skin. The soundtrack was released in May 2005 by Commotion and consists of 15 complete songs based on the short pieces used in the film.
