R-Three, based in northern California from 1997 to 2007, was an independent studio project with a rotating line-up of collaborators centered on the words, music and production stylings of the driving creative force Rhett Redelings.

At the core, the R-Three project was about truth: Finding it, understanding it and telling it, no matter how personal, painful, unfashionable or challenging it may be. Known as much for unusual and genre defying song arrangements as the lyrics in those songs, the music of R-Three was about the inner processes, asking and struggling with the big questions while trying to bring something new, genuine and groovy to the modern musical landscape. Regarding the atypical approach to arrangement that characterizes most R-Three songs, Rhett Redelings had this to say:

"I believe that we appreciate art when the delivery or presentation of that art jars us and frees us from our preconceptions and expectations just a little bit, so we can experience it for what it is instead of comparing it to our previous experiences. In music, I attempt to do this by making unexpected sound choices, collaborating with artists who are coming from a very different place than I am and by using atypical arrangements, odd time signatures and musical explorations that deviate just a little bit from the pop formula; so long as it serves the song and keeps the energy where it should be. I do this not to be clever, or elitist, or weird but because I believe you can only really appreciate a new experience if it feels both familiar and, at the same time, brand new."

By the way, the ones at the bottom are all from the Marillion weekend 2002, was the first marillion concert i went to! Absolutely brilliant, they played A.o.S in it's entirety! Haha. Well take care, I'm off to continue with the exam revision, first year of uni you see!
