Tree O - 2001

Organic Tangerine Dream and Fusion.
Soundscapes featuring Marimba.

A collection of contemporary standards not watered-down like smooth jazz but turned into full-fledged tunes for improv. Melodic and accessible.

Adventurous space rock featuring exotic percussion, fuzzy guitars, Middle Eastern jams, and odd guitar tones and textures. With Todd Harrison (drums) and John Pineda (bass).

A total act of studio improv! Completed in a fit of creative rage this solo CD features Rob processing feedback, loops, spoken word into a complete sonic landscape.

All selections on this recording, with the exception of "Thanksgiving", are freely improvised vignettes involving little to no discussion or preplanning. We have tried to present this music as spontaneous and true to the spirit of improvisation as possible. We hope you enjoy "Shadowmusic".

Ben Kono : oboe, clarinet, flute, bamboo flutes, reeds.

What happens when three friends get together on two afternoons in Annapolis to create some jazz? The result is SNAPSHOT, an informal and intimate portrait of a trio.

John Pineda : bass

Fifty-two short pieces with Rob's acoustic guitar and other assorted instruments including marimba, oboe, oscillator, and percussion. Rob is joined by musicians from disciplines as diverse as chamber music and experimental rock yet the fragments knit themselves into a bold, cohesive, startling, totally unexpected musical statement.

Ben Kono : flute, bamboo flute, clarinet, oboe
Mike Noonan : marimba
