ROB
|
Rob has released two albums: Don’t Kill in 2000 and Satyred Love in 2002. From June 2009 to June 2010, for twelve consecutive months, Rob will write, record and produce an unknown number of songs, following the occult logic of his own inspiration and the meandering path suggested by the Gospels. Each month, a new record will be released, bearing his name and the title “Dodecalogue”—vinyl and digital formats. Each record will discuss one of the twelve apostles. Twelve records. Rejoice! The whole thing is ambitious, highly elusive and perilous. What if nothing comes up? Is the New Testament a relevant theme? Should we, in the reign of Benedict XVI, risk being mistaken for Christian lackeys? What if the label folds? More importantly, in the age of instant obsolescence, of dwindling life expectancy, what the hell do we think we’re doing? Should we trust you? As of today, I do not know if these recordings will ever be compiled. One could argue that it doesn’t matter. That the right way to experience the Dodecalogue is to follow the work as it unfolds. That you should hop in as early as possible and stick with it. It requires a modicum of discipline. And I think it’s good that it echoes the discipline that will be required of Rob. And I think it will be glorious. This is a pledge. Let’s meet once a month for a whole year and see what happens. - UNSUNNED / INSTITUBES created almost 3 years ago |
