Lunar Idyll (Tree Alphabet Mix)
Robert Scott Thompson
2022
Duration 30:08

But wherefore do not you a mightier way
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?
And fortify yourself in your decay
With means more blessed than my barren rhyme?
Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
And many maiden gardens yet unset
With virtuous wish would bear your living flowers,
Much liker than your painted counterfeit:
So should the lines of life that life repair,
Which this, Time’s pencil, or my pupil pen,
Neither in inward worth nor outward fair,
Can make you live yourself in eyes of men.
To give away yourself keeps yourself still,
And you must live, drawn by your own sweet skill.

Telemetry
Robert Scott Thompson
2019

Listeners who think of RST (somewhat deservedly) as primarily an avant-garde experimentalist, should check out this album. Much of Telemetry is so sweet and melodic in borders on New Age. Thompson’s trademark use of sound and rhythm in unexpected ways still bubbles just beneath the surface, a balance that makes Telemetry one of the most appealing albums in this artist’s discography.
