dear internet,
longtime reader - first time poster...
I have never written in here before but figured this may be a good place to showcase my music.
Right now I am in the studio recording my new album, it's called "Upon A Painted Ocean" and it will be out sometime early next year... I have one song from it on my myspace check it out and let me know what you think.
Cheers!!

Robert Johnson Music started off innocuously as far as three summers ago in a small town in Massachusetts. It was here that the first notes were played and the seeds were sown for what has now transformed into “Upon A Painted Ocean” – Guitarist Rob Johnson’s [Forward Is The Farewell] attempt to create a new ‘Tubular Bells’ esque instrumental record for a new generation.
The album (which is currently being recorded) is a deluxe soundscape comprising of 15 tracks creating the soundtrack to a film within your imagination. It is an epic and atmospheric work in which the differing songs become characters that come and go as they please - resulting in the recurrence of themes when you least expect them. Meanwhile the record has a tone that attempts to install certain feelings to the listener - all within the universally accepted principles of a 3 minute pop song (albeit without the benefit of words).
It is certainly an ambitious piece, a brief glance at a few choice song titles; “Point the Gun and Pull the Trigger,” “FATE/CHANCE,” “...End Credits,” serve to illustrate this. Whether it works will be down to the individual experience of the listener, but each and every person who listens to the album will be presented with a musical, elaborate and potentially inspiring experience attempting to recapture the magic and possibility of the instrumental album.
