Robert Symons is a kindred soul that has traveled the world spreading music to the masses in many different forms and one of those amazing individuals that deserves to be celebrated for his life path and his artistry. He is a self-taught musician, which makes his growth and transitions throughout his life that much more implausible.
On this volume of contemporary easy listening compositions that are arranged, performed and produced by Robert, he works his way through the history of pop music with panache, style and gracefulness.
Steel pan music is unique in both sound and your own personal perception of each individual song. The tunes are easily recognizable, with one exception, what you will hear and how it makes you feel is different for each individual listener. It also depends where you want the music to take you...perhaps that memorable once in a lifetime cruise you took, or someone's special wedding reception, or memories of walking on a white sandy beach in the Bermuda sun will come to mind. This music is a one-way ticket to your own personal paradise, featuring lovely relaxing steel pan rhythms and the familiar syncopations of sequenced bass, guitar and keyboards, the backbeat that helps to make the steel pan as warm as a tropical island breeze.
Now you can find all of these wonderful pop gems living in a different world. It is like hearing completely new songs thanks to the marvelous talent of Robert Symons.
