His age is unknown. As a young man he played organ in various churches around Warsaw. Then he agreed to take part on a Canadian government secret test. Since family and friends were not warned, he was reported missing for 3 years. Some suggest that during that period he underwent some top secret, cutting edge brain/synth interactiveness experiences, which were closed down by the UN in july 1952. He later reappeared in Brussels where he found a job as a pet photographer. It is rumored Tony became an active part of the dog smuggling mafia.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The year of 1938 sees the birth of Rogimund d'Orvieux, who got later known only as Rogi d'Or. His parents were exploring the mountainous regions of Algeria when he was born. The nomadic structure of his French/Berber family led him althroughout North Africa and later, on his youg adulthood, to Asia, culminating in China where he was invited to study at the Imperial School of Dodecaphonic Music. His studies led him to Chicago where after a series of misadventures Rogi ended up as a taxi driver which was only a doorway leading to international racing.In 1955 Rogi d'Or goes to Belgium to run on the Turismo Grand Prix, but didn't actually race. The night before he had gone to a night club and after a few drinks joined up with the band to play the marimba (the player had not shown).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        That was when the two met. Tony was playing washboard and other ethnic percussions, and after the gig, the two seemed to have become great friends. Tony and Rogi had been playing in the jazz scene for a while when they ended up signing as a band with a local label in 1958. Thus was born The Random.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Their first gig was set to happen in the city of Tegulcigalpa, but the plane that was taking the duo disappeared from the radars at 2:17 AM, March 12, 1959. It was flying over the Venezuelan part of the Amazon forest when the plane supposedly went down into a crash.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        It was declared that no survivors were found.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        2007 - Brasília, the capital city of Brazil.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        37 years have passed since the departure of The Random. But wait! Tony Roballo and Rogi d'Or emerge to the public bringing almost 4 decades of mastering in the meticulous craft of building synthesizers combining amazonic plants and airplane parts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Now they are ready to show the world a new meaning for the word Czosi.
