Fran Dominguez's debut album 'Super Moon Moonlight Part One' is the first in a series of albums dedicated to his daughter. A love letter about the wonders of nature, the ten-track album is also a public message with the aim of inspiring others to spend more time outdoors.

Single Releases Reviews Times When I Know You Will Watch The Sky Pt IDancing About Architecture Not all music has to make a big impact or get right on with the job straight away. Sometimes the most effective musical communication is all about reserve and understatement, about taking your time and working with slow, gradual build ups, space and minimalism.

What they used to call the “less is more” approach. If you are a fan of this angle of attack then the wonderfully named Times When I Know You Will Watch The SkyPt.

IT is a song that you will warm to.

This chiming, electro instrumental is all about delicacy and restraint. It spends the first 30-seconds gathering shimmering sounds and then slowly expands on them, but never excessively, never gratuitously. Instead the overall effect is like the first drops of rain coming down followed by a steady strengthening of precipitation. And rain seems like a good parallel to use as the whole song feels somehow transient and ephemeral, a musical mood rather than a song. And this strange and beguiling quality is what brilliantly sets it apart from the makers of more obvious music. Strangeness is good, especially when it is this beautiful. Iggy Magazine

If you are fond of contemporary music, you are aware that instrumental music has become more prevalent in France, highlighting a new category of artists who choose to share emotions or feelings without the benefit of voice. Indeed, while it seems more difficult to reach people without words, many artists choose this method to express themselves and

make us travel to hitherto unknown countries. Forest Robots is part of this category and does it beautifully.

This talented composer is distinguished by a wonderfully creative music, which immerses you in a time and space you won’t want to leave. This is exactly one of the most interesting aspects of beat-making or instrumental music. We forget the words, more than usual, and itis a vector of sensations that perhaps gets rid of the superfluous. Forest Robots spend

worthy moments in musical melodies that are worked with a relentless precision.

Album Release Reviews Supermoon Moonlight Part OneTuneloud Magazine

“Supermoon Moonlight Part One” is the debut electronic album from Forest Robots – aproject of Los Angeles based Fran Dominguez. Occupied with our connection to, and the preservation of nature, the project which began as a letter to Fran’s daughter and has now expanded into a global communication of caring from Forest Robots. This artist seems to come from nowhere with his phenomenal debut album and he immediately puts his stamp on

what Ambient and instrumental electronic music should sound like, seamlessly intertwining ambient sound, synthesizers, and digital drums to create beautiful, stylized, emotional and unique soundscapes. The album contains flawless compositions, never trite, always buildingto a delightful purpose and concluding at just the right moment in each piece. The music keeps you engaged, not so much that you feel imposed upon, but enough because you wantto follow and savor each note and intermingling chord and riff.

“Supermoon Moonlight Part One” has no wasted meandering, no trying to stretch out eachpiece just to fill space, there is also no sense of urgency to finish, just a very smooth enjoyment through each composition, and when you’re done listening, you’ll want to do it all

over again.

No matter what kinds of music you like, if you are the least bit adventurous, you will appreciate this work. It represents, arguably, the peak of its genre. And that’s saying a whole lot for a debut recording. Forest Robots’ selection and control of sounds and layering is a delight to the ears. Right from the opening track, “A Path Among The Woods”, the compositions are more harmonically interesting than most electronica artists and Forest Robots’ rhythmic sense issubtle and polished, and not guilty of the awkwardness or formulaic tedium that too often

burdens electronic artists. Both ethereal and grounded, sometimes-slow moving, melodic lines move about in theimagination, conjuring up mental landscapes that fully come into focus. Which is whathappens on the wistful “Times When I Know You Watch The Sky I”. It’s “Shapes Shift In TheDistant Shadows” which figures as the first standout track with its incessant synth buzz and

driven beat.“Last Silvers of Moon” has an overall sheen and slickness that disguises some very carefullyworked out musical details, hidden in plain view within its minimalist piano driven musical

ideas and instrumental and choral textures. “Silhouettes Follow The Echoes” avoidssuperficiality, or just plain brainless electronica, by means of a slowly evolving musicallandscape that is imbued with optimism, warmth and an unpretentious musical integrity.

“Then The Spider Turned Into a Cloud” exudes a melodic space and creates an other-worldlyatmosphere where the listener becomes thoroughly entrenched in the celestial microcosmForest Robots’ manifests here.

On “Mandelbrots In Winter” the rhythmic music will take you to deep places within yourawareness, while the melody tries not to be complicated. This is a song of haunting beauty and a layered, transcendental sounding theme. “While Birds Dream of Dawn and Wind” hasan almost post-rock attraction with its harder beat that sucks you into moments of synthetic vertigo.“By The Stillness of The Lake” has a sense of celebratory melancholy that is difficult to replicate in many other listening experiences. Forest Robots closes the album on a high and upbeat note with “Follow the Towers to the Moon”, with its swirling melodic build-ups that end in joyful light dance grooves.

On “Supermoon Moonlight Part One” you will find aural soundscapes, gently evoked moodsand distinct rhythms, but this is music that touches your very core. It talks to you and foldsyou into its melodic conversation.

Definitely recommended.
