robin o'brien and dear friends of many stripes. and i sing with the medieval ensemble vox flores which is deep dark(radiant light inside the flowering branch) soul food for me.
Influences
my mother. water.
Sounds Like
folk, sometimes popish, sometimes dark. often sparse.
i've been writing songs(to find center, to commune with myself and my maker) since i was a kid and recording them (to keep me company)since i was thirteen years old. i'm 50 and i still do it. something i want now that i didn't want when i was young is musical community: contact, feedback. message me and tell me who you are.

Robin! You are a magic person, a channel of truths that are hidden in the air, in the universe, darkness and light going out for a dance. You are a birthday gift to me from birth until ever after. Thank you for blessing me with our friendship. Love to you and Don, andy
Thank you my dearest love for what has been the happiest and most rewarding years of my life. I have learned much from you and our time together and have been rewarded with a lifetime of memories and love. You will always be mine.
can peace and chaos co exist? i think so, i've heard it do so in your voice. peace and chaos are alive within you and me and the air around us. there are bluebirds in the blue sky outside my window. it is raining and i am going to walk outside and look for the bluebirds before they are swallowed by the blueness of the sky. love you...your friend always, andy
Had a dream last night that conjured old times, people and places and situations long past- and you were there. I am so pleased that we have had this friendship, though life brings so many swoops and curves and poisonous flowers and healing flowers there is, like nature, true friends. I promise to always be your friend for as long as I have any sort of presence.
thanks robin...clowns is just a little experimental track I'm doing with some awesome equipment that I'm borrowing...we should get together soon and make music
what family do the new songs belong to?.....i couldn't download anime though...LA=good wasteland..... although some days i miss=moss/dirt/pine trees/fog/fungus/oak trees....then i'll listen to Mr. Maurer's "Roamed All ALong": transcendental soundtrack to my sonoma county
Hi Robin, Sun music and blessings to you and yours! Happy 2008! I'm teaching again at Esalen June 1-6! Hope to see you! Please help spread the wordless! Love, David www.harmonicpresence.org
water street- hoboken? it all feels so vivid! thank you for the beautiful passageway- bright dark bright light. full heart music from a brilliant soul, it's a blessing to have your friendship and music alongside me. it's snow filled here, the bluffs look as though powdered sugar had poured on them. but jill and i are moving soon.
All of our love to you and Don by the fire with the Christmas fox. We remember cozy times there. Please excuse too few proper greetings lately. It's not out of a lack of love, only from a lack of organization. Shame shame. Love to you...
So About 12 seconds into Ignoy and Annore i hit download and then it ran for 6.20, i would have been happy for it to have gone on for another half an hour. It's Very Very good- right up my street!
I still never got around to sending Don my stuff for him to put out, however i have been tentatively trying my songs with other musicians in accoumpaniment, harp! violin!
I'll let you know if i become famous!
Those Robins are becoming a real problem in our parks!
I really like your style. I have a copy of FORE and when I first gave it a spin I was struck by your arrangements and professional vocal quality. This latest batch of music seems to take it a step further in that the recording quality is outstanding! Really nice music, heck I even love the cover art.
Thank you very much. I'm happy to be one of your friends. I have to add photographes and commentaries on myspace. Actually, my favorite music is Dead can dance. Do you know them ? Yours. Ludo.
