Robert’s sophomore album, Footprints of Steel (Composers Concordance Records/Naxos distribution), recently dropped on all major streaming platforms. It features 14 eclectic tracks, including collaborations with Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson) and Carli Muñoz (Beach Boys, Wilson Pickett).

The album has garnered critical acclaim:

”What exactly is “new music” these days and how much further can it strive beyond the high Downtown years? One answer may lie within the album’s fourth selection, “Not All Apples Are Blue Color”, which embraces the wonderfully bizarre. No, this cut is not of the Dada school, it isn’t No Wave, nor post-punk, but of a late-1960s fashion recalling Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable and an acoustic Velvet Underground, wherein the poet’s recitation and droning vocal are interspersed with Milica Paranosic’s mellifluous singing and piercing spoken word, anchored by Brian DuFord’s classical guitar. Here, women’s liberation tangos with the truly absurd, in a manner demanding repeated listenings.”
