Xylen Roberts
My name is Chris Robertson, but I go by the moniker Xylen Roberts. I hate writing these things---just let the music do the talking. I've been making music since I was 13, and am well-versed in the following instruments: keyboard/piano, vocals, electronic programming and manipulating, percussion, and sampling. Most recently, in the past 7 months, I've picked up the guitar but am not amazing or anything yet---I can do any kind of gtr rhythm pretty well, but have a long way to go in the lead department.
I've made about a dozen albums and countless additional recordings using computer programs, 4-tracks, cheap 2-track boomboxes (with Radio Shack mics connected), and occassionally friends' home studios. This summer, I will hopefully be recording a couple much-more professional-sounding albums, so stay tuned for that exciting development. In the meantime, enjoy these selections from my following D.I.Y. releases:
'Lemurcharmer' (2002)
'Confusion Hath Paul Reiser Its Masterpiece' (2003)
'Evaporation' (2004)
'Which Way To Wizardry?' (2005)
'What Animals May Come' (2006)
'Itzamentals' (2007)What equipment do you use?
Keyboards, pianos, microphones, drum machines, computer programs, laptops, homemade percussion, effects pedals, etc.
