notes

Refuge, George Robinson's debut solo guitar release, is a collection of pieces that wrestle with the tensions of modern life and explore the need for a personal sanctuary to restore the spirit. The 9 tracks deliver 40 minutes of unique, stimulating music.

George is a Portland, Oregon based contemporary solo guitarist who performs original music on a hybrid, nylon string instrument. His music employs modern sound modeling technologies that blend the characteristics of acoustic and electric instruments to produce a unique, ethereal sound.

George worked with over 60 musical ensembles over a period of 15 years, then discovered his muse and began composing contemporary solo guitar compositions, drawing on influences from new age, smooth jazz, rock and classical music.

    I absolutely love a debut album...a new artist, new ideas, and a fresh start. Oregon's George Robinson, with his hybrid nylon string guitar, makes an excellent first-run with Refuge, a 40 minute joyride through the world of solo guitar. It's usually pretty easy to tell if a guitarist "has it" from the first few chords...let me be one of the first to say that George definitely has it, and knows what he's doing with it.
