Robec

Robec is the solo project of Marius T. Røbech, former member of Ocean of Lotion, based in Bergen, Norway. Through years of sonic explorations in different places and spaces, the former guitar player found the soundscapes of pulsating synthesizers combined with repetitive grooves and twangy guitars, making it an interesting place to explore in the grander space of the prog rock world. The forest is too loud is an instrumental album that explores expansive soundscapes shaped by restless rhythms and mesmerizing bass lines. Twangy guitars and spacious synths create a cinematic atmosphere, while, true to classic prog rock style, the extended tracks shift from quiet ambiences to epic leads. This album is a journey through sonic exploration and diverse genre inspirations, offering a complete and immersive listening experience. For fans of Jaga Jazzist, Ola Kvernberg, Pink Floyd, elephant9 + + +

In this slightly parallel universe, robec goes all electronic on his second album on Gymnocal Industries with Modular Sessions I - Actaeon. Recorded live on modular synth over the course of a week, the concept is simple: patch, record, reset, and repeat-every day. By locking randomness in melodies and patterns, this generative starting point lets the songs evolve into hypnotic repetitiveness and cinematic soundscapes, shaping this experimental industrial sounding album. Although being inspired by Brian Eno's idea of control and surrender, the ploinkyness of Tom Waits and Tangerine Dream's sequencing, the album's backbone is the ritual pulse of a kickdrum and dark ambient synths.
