About Robin Borneman

Ever since he first picked up a guitar as a kid, Robin has been making this music, HIS music. And he's been living it ever since. It just.. developed. He started recording his songs by the age of sixteen, and the ability to play all the instruments himself gave him the opportunity to make it sound just the way he wanted it to. Now, seven years later, shaped by four albums of experimental rocksongs, tragic ballads and dreamlike soundscapes, his sound, to him, has found It's way home. And so he began performing as a singer/songwriter anywhere people would listen. Armed with an acoustic guitar, a singer's voice and a poet's mind, he's telling his stories on stage. And gratefully he was received with much enthousiasm. "It's hard to tell where my music comes from. I have my influences of course, but they merge in my head with the newspaper's blood; the great war of money and power, crooked politicians, corrupt judges.. the whole circus. It affects me, and as a part of this world I refuse to step aside. On the other hand I've always been fascinated by the 'standard's losers'; people torn apart, people starving of loneliness, junkies.. trouble. These two things together they form the perfect material for my songs; beautiful tunes telling terrible things. But always with a sense of hope. I don't ever want to sound complicated without any reason. And in the end, It's all about the music. I'm not a judge, nor a politician. I'm a singer. These are the situations, and I draw them without any conclusion. I leave that up to you."
