I made and sold about 30 copies of cd 1 during the second half of the tour. Physical versions of either are a limited run and $5 each. Email me.

*hint: I think tour cd 2 is better …
This is the beginning of the robotcowboy database. Since my music system is all digital, I can easily record gigs in realtime. Every show will be uploaded here, so if you saw robotcowboy live you can relive your personal experience!
The filename format is: “m-d-y_h_m_s_songname.mp3″
UPDATE Apr 08: Well, after the tour I have tons of recordings. It’s too much really, there has to be a filtering process. I have decided not to make a public, comprehensive database. You guys get the good stuff only.

Ok, all previous robotcowboy music is just that : previous. It was built in Windows using pirated software and the new music is being created in Linux using free software and custom programs.
Here is a roughrough demo, but it can give you a general idea as to what the new music will be :
velocipede_demo (hint: good speakers = bass)
All new robotcowboy sonifications are recorded live as they are generated. They will be offered, at a small sum, for purchase directly after the performance. A database of previous performances will be built and multiple versions of each song will exist so that, when a conventional “release” is planned, a representative of each song will be picked through an online poll. All performance music will be available for free and the “release” version will be specially mixed and mastered.
I have decided to hold off on releasing a full album. More time needs to be spent on producing a well-crafted release and such time is hard to come by for robotcowboy.
For now, I present some demos / sketches:
first take frenzy
this album is an exercise in spontaneity. what can we do with 1 microphone, 2 days, and no experience playing together? the title is correct as 80% of the tracks are first takes, the rest being 2nds.
