MP3 George Robertson - Midnight Man
10 MP3 Songs
ELECTRONIC: Virtual Orchestra, NEW AGE: New Age
Details:
"Nice imagery, nice textures, nice sounds, nice music." - AfterTouch Magazine, Vol. 6
"Midnight Man" represents a mix of moods and soundscapes. Some of the selections on this disk were composed as a result of dreams - an attempt to capture in music specific dreams that have tended to stay with me for years.
So . . . what kind of music is this?
Whenever I''m asked to describe my music, my mind goes completely blank and the best I can come up with, in most cases, is, "my own unique style". I don''t think there is a genre for what I do. Maybe that''s a good thing, maybe not. I''ll leave it up to the listener to "pigeon hole" my stuff because I just don''t feel comfortable doing it. I can''t call it "ambient" because I include a lot of dynamics in my music, exploring emotional states. Can''t call it "New Age" because, frankly, I hate that designation (I don''t think it''s ever done anyone any favors to be tagged with that label).
However, pressed as I am in this intro to come up with something to help prospective buyers decide if they might like it, I guess the category "virtual orchestra" at least describes in a broad way what to expect. I''ve always loved the Classics and though my compositions do not attempt to emulate the genre I think it is obvious that the Classics have influenced me. I also happen to like some of the so-called "new age" composers, particularly the ones who create lively and dramatic music.

George Robertson lives a quiet and uncomplicated life, semi-retired at times and less so at others, in a far away land called Arizona, down near the Mexican border. A creator of music at heart but a locksmith by trade (and a professional photographer before that), he highly suspects that in a former life he was at least a musician, hopefully a good one.
