Rattrapante – Released 26-03-2021
‘Rattrapante’ is a collection of 5 songs about our interaction with time; we measure it, but yet waste it more, it defines our existence and forms our memories. Some seek to beat it by being the first or the fastest and some can appear to outlive time itself through their achievements…
“The idea for the album was inspired from from my work with mechanical watches. Rattrapante is a French word deriving from ‘rattraper’ meaning ‘to catch up or recapture. A Rattrapante chronograph can simultaneously time 2 events such a lap split time and a final race time”, explains Robin Armstrong. “It was the perfect metaphor for our own interaction with time.”
We are also thrilled to reveal that Chrissy Mostyn from The Blackheart Orchestra guests on the track, ‘I Stick To You’. “It was brilliant working with Chrissy who really put her own dark and ethereal stamp on the song which portrays a mythical tale about the curse of immortality”, says Robin.
Rattrapante features Robin Armstrong, Kyle Fenton, Chrissy Mostyn from The Blackheart Orchestra and voiceover artist, Tommy McNally and will be released on the Gravity Dream Music label in CD, Vinyl and Digital formats.
