missing scenes
Indelible
Norwegian based outfit, Indelible, formed in 2008, initially as a creative vehicle for composer and multi-instrumentalist Marius Sjøli, who later asked Robert and others to contribute to an EP and two full lengths.
Hollow Branches
Transatlantic collaboration, formed in 2005, with multi-instrumentalist Marius Sjøli.
Occulted Sound
A bridge between the twilight noise of Conversations about the Light and droning modular synth ambience of missing scenes.
Snares of Sixes
An ever-changing collective of artists and musicians led by Jason Walton, the ensemble paints with a wide brush yet creates highly detailed and intricate music that lends itself to deep listening and patience.
Self Spiller
Predecessor to Snares of Sixes, and also a collective of musicians from bands as far-flung as Sigh, Tub Ring, Fleurety, Winds and Nero’s Day at Disneyland.
Conversations about the Light
For nearly a decade, from late high school through early adulthood, this was my primary musical focus. My earliest works were quite loose and involved a mini tape recorder, heavily affected guitar and field recordings, while later works were more conceptual and involved much more post production. Themes explored ranged from unhealthy obsession, detachment, entropy and sickness. Releases came out on a variety of labels, including, Small Doses, Audio Savant, Cipher Productions and Ominous Recordings.
A Crown of Light
A short-lived dark electronic collaboration between Robert and Brandon Elkins (A Crown of Amaranth, An Evening Redness, Auditor and more). Eibon Records released sole full length recording, The Clearing, in 2006.
