Alpha is a British musical project formed in the 1990s, associated with the Bristol music scene and often linked to trip hop, downtempo and ambient electronic styles. Founded by Andy Jenks and Corin Dingley, the group became known for sparse, moody arrangements that combine sample-based production, live instrumentation and guest vocalists to create a cinematic, melancholic atmosphere. Their work emphasizes slow tempos, deep bass, orchestral touches and intimate, often hushed vocal performances, aligning them with contemporaries in the late-1990s British electronic and trip hop movements.
