notes

Sonambulations is the debut solo CD from Ros Bobos. The sound compositions are made from manipulated sources that range from didjeridu to guinea pigs, radiators to medical lectures. This unique and unpredictable collection of soundscapes transport the listener into unfamliar territory that evokes a wide spectrum of moods and lets the imagination soar like a pigeon.

Ros Bobos, aka Andrew Hannah, has been creating sound art and audio collage for over ten years, composing pieces for film, video, dance, and theatre productions in the Boston area.

His compostions have been broadcast on the Negativland Over the Edge Series, The Church of Subgenius's Hour of Slack Radio Program, WMFO end of radio series, WNYC New Sounds, WFMU, and more.

He has composed sound collages for performances at the Mobius Art Gallery, Fishtown ArtSpace, Boston Center of the Arts, and for the Comedy Group, Grand Malarkey, which he co-founded in 1997.

  • Great for the listeners..
    author: Beatrix Crocker

    Whenever I air this disc on my radio show on WCSB 89.3fm, the phones light up. People LOVE Ros! He does a tremendous job on this cd. If I could, I would play the entire cd for the audience without any interruption. Make more Ros, the listeners want to hear more!

  • A surreal listening experience. Impressive.
    author: Godsend Online

    A collection of entertaining and often humurous media snippets and pirated bits from radio broadcasts and old records with some suitably experimental music in the back ground. A surreal listening experience. Impressive.

  • More fun than Audio Apartment House Wrestling.

    Wow! What a great CD. Terrific segues. More fun than Audio Apartment House Wrestling.

  • It runs the gamut from scary to peaceful to unsettling.
    author: Lorenzo Walker, Cool And Strange Music Magazine #14

    This 69-minute CD is comprimised of elaborate sound collages, intricately woven from various self-help records, medical lectures, and from scores of small snippets of (mostly) anonymous records. They are complex, subtle, and sometimes disturbing. It runs the gamut from scary to peaceful to unsettling. My favorite cuts were "Very Truly Yours", made up of various lectures by psychologists and M.D.s. These are intercut to create a disjointed conversation between medcial professionals that is both unnerving and hilarious at the same time. I also enjoyed the spoken-word poetry by Ros Bobos on two of the cuts, particularly "Last Time Burning," in which his work is presented in a stream-of-consciousness style. His writing is thought-provoking, funny, and delightfully disjointed, and he reads his work well, as only an author can do.

    What a strong CD this is. A Pleasure. I listened to it with headphones with real delight. The compositions are entertaining, often very moving, and frequently hypnotic. Wonderful fusion of elements both tangible and mysterious. Despite all the good humor, its mix of music, drama, psychology, sociology, and politics evokes a fresh and startling view of American Culture.

    author: James Stephens From The Psychedelic Pig Catalog

    A 72 minute collage piece which uses an 'everything-in-the-kitchen-sink' approach giving it the feel of a radio show taken over by revelutionary acid-heads.
