All Sales Go to the Bob Moog Foundation to Help Educate Children
Robeone, “the Patron Saint for the Bob Moog
Foundation” is releasing a new album, “Dream Suite,” on Transglobal
Records / Orchard/Sony. He’s making it available
only through the Moog Foundation’s website at
bobmoogfoundation.myshopify.com/collections/music. Note well that 100% of all the album’s sales
will go to the Bob Moog Foundation.
“I wanted to pay tribute to my biggest musical
influences--Keith Emerson, Jon Lord and Brian Auger and other creative
masters,” says Robeone, whose real name is Robert Schindler.
The album, “Dream Suite” defines Robeone’s
style that grows from dynamic musical genres as wide-ranging a mix of
progressive rock, new age, jazz fusion, and cinematic genres. “Hollow,”
with its Keith Emerson soaring synth, was inspired by “great film scores.” “All
That Razz” sounds like Gershwin fell in love with artsy electric string
players, and was influenced by both Robert’s father (who loved jazz) and his
favorite contemporary electric violinist Joe Deninzon. The late Swedish Hammond organist/guitarist
Bo Hansson inspired the flowing “Levels.”
“M is for Moog”
is Robert’s “tribute to Moog and all Bob Moog gave to the world. The
composition is all Moog synthesizer,” Robeone says, and he cites the late
Japanese synthesist Isao Tomita, a Moog devotee, for influence on the
recording. Brian Auger and Keith Emerson influence the frisky “Jazzmorphis.” The album ends with an epic musical journey,
“Dream Suite,” with moving symphonic organ parts inspired by Deep
Purple’s Jon Lord.
In addition to the Moog, Robeone uses a range of only
keyboards on the “Dream Suite” album-- Mellotron, Kurzweil, Yamaha,
Roland, Korg, Ensonic Roli Seaboard, EMU, and the Ashun Sound Machine.
Robeone/Robert has been recording since the early
1970s. He’s worked with notables Ronnie Spector and for Johnny Nash when “I Can
See Clearly Now” was a hit. He played
with progressive rockers Mayson on Bearsville Records, pop rock acts The States
on Chrysalis and Boardwalk Records. He’s in the progressive rock group ZOOM
with Paul Landry on New Age Music Planet Records. Recently he recorded with two
different Melodic Revolution Records’ artists Tony Romero’s Vortex and Joe
Mac’s American Garage. He’s played live at a number of Festivals—most recently
ProgStock and RosFest. Robert also worked on the award-winning soundtrack to
"The Fiery Narrows - Following the Path of John Charles Fremont."
Located in Asheville, North Carolina, The Bob Moog
Foundation is an independent 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to
preserving the legacy of Bob Moog by inspiring others through science, music,
and innovation. The Foundation is providing much needed innovative and
effective educational opportunities to children — youth who will become
tomorrow’s generation of thinkers and problem solvers.
