So many of you saw us play this music live, and I thank you for those many who came up telling me of the mesmerizing effect this music had on you, placing you somewhere in outer space.

And also, thank you to the many others who approached me at the end of a concert, visibly upset and seeking to vent your anger at me for making you sit through what you had to endure.

When observing the sculptures and paintings of surrealist artist Giacometti, Lord commented that ‘In some of your sculptures and paintings, I find a great deal of feeling’. To this Giacometti answers, ‘You may find it … but I didn’t put it there. It’s completely in spite of me’

” Robinson’s group, the Escalators, is an eight-piece avant-garde jazz ensemble that includes a DJ manning turntables and sampling. What else sets them apart are live shows where their slowly evolving, sometimes disturbing, and opaque music is married to set designs and film that play in a similar sandbox of mood, repetition, beauty and what they like to call Lynchian weirdness” Sydney Morning Herald Feature Article
