Biography
Hardy Winfred Fox Jr. (also known as H., among various other aliases) (March 29th 1945 - October 30th 2018) was an American composer, sound engineer, A&R manager, writer, and artist, who was best known for his role as a composer, keyboardist, and producer for the avant-garde group The Residents. Fox was also a founding member of the band The Residents' management company, The Cryptic Corporation, of which he was President from 1982 to 2016. He began a characteristically prolific solo recording career in 2011, initially under the guise of Charles Bobuck but later as Hardy Fox. Fox continued to record and release music through his own Hacienda Bridge imprint, until shortly before his death on October 30th 2018, following a short battle with brain cancer. A number of posthumous releases credited to Fox (and his Bobuck persona) have since been issued, including his final recording, 25 Minus Minutes.
