It is a critical reflection about the borderline between composition and improvisation, which follows the experiments of graphical notation introduced in the '60s by avant-garde composers and the conduction methods of contemporary performers such as John Zorn (Cobra method) and Butch Morris (Conduction method).
The method consists of secret tracks that only the musicians can hear through headphones.
These tracks give metrical, harmonic and mood oriented suggestions that allow musicians to improvise, still giving them a structure to deal and - sometimes - to struggle with.
The result is an orchestra following a ghost director in which musicians preserve their own expressive independence.
This way the importance of musicians and composers is always different.
Robotnik are now exploring the possibilities of this method proposing their compositions to heterogenous musicians and bands.
We present two sample tracks recorded with different ensembles, but starting from the same suggested music composition:

As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Il piacere è mio. Conosco il vostro lavoro ed il vostro disco tramite Carlo con cui collaboro da quasi vent'anni. Originalissimo lavoro. Speriamo di incontrarci presto.
