The Ratmando Blog

We do the do, we RatManDO. It’s not passive, this music. It’s interactive. The listener needs to feel and breathe the music, jam to the beat, roll with it, and become it. In doing so, he wraps the table, or hits his foot on the floor, perhaps rolls his head, or claps, but he never just sits, and quietly does nothing. There is a behavior, a response, and condition that occurs that never remains stagnant. The musician curls the notes around time, and rules the tones like a commandeering captain upon the sea attempting to rule the ocean with a liner. Pushing forth the waves of space and texture, testing the breaks of sycnopations, and cracking the smoothness with rawness she levitates the aquatic foam and displaces the mightiest of waves into the formed flow of smoothest motion so all move into one direction, pleasantly or violently, serenely or turbulantly true.
