Switch On: Rob Costlow explains the story behind the album
Switch On is the result of a collaboration with allMeadow, an artist based in
Bristol (United Kingdom). He mixed the tracks, incorporated a ton of creative
elements, and performed all the bass guitar parts. What else would you expect
from a person located in the drum and bass capital of the world? Strangely
enough, allMeadow and I have never met in person. However, a web cam, mic and
today's other great technology enabled us to produce a professional full-length
album. Oceans cannot stop our creative spirits. We're kind of star-crossed
musicians. :) We met online back in 2005 via mutual creative interests. We're
both very proud of this effort and hope it is enjoyed by music lovers around the
world. Kudos to allMeadow and his genius mixing mind!
Songs from all my contemporary piano albums were used to create the remixes. 7
of the 10 tracks are brand new. We included and remastered 3 tracks from my 2006
remix EP, Return. We felt they had to be added to the album flow as they fit so
well with the concept. The very first track, "Air Cooled", is from a previously
unreleased song I composed the parts for almost a decade ago. I'm quite happy to
have it complete.
The music is intentionally quite different from my solo contemporary piano work
(please note, I do plan to release more solo work). The album is filled with
various tempos and instrumentation. The goal was to create a unique product that
could serve many purposes, be it experimentation, entertainment, inspiration, or
otherwise. The motive of the album is to stimulate and help drive a general
sense of productivity. Hence, why the album is named "Switch On".
