Rockambo is a bassist from Mount Pleasant, Washington, DC.

Since the pandemic, he's been writing compositions using MIDI instrumentation (and struggling with latency issues on slow computers). He takes equal parts inspiration from Palladium-era Latin jazz (https://www.facebook.com/groups/LFCE893/), vintage 70s jazz-funk (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv8l4QR862COAotwH_cw9wQ), 00s electronica (https://somafm.com/spacestation/), contemporary lo-fi (https://open.spotify.com/album/2j4Mjok0KmnQ2ENfWIpUKf?si=MuUDlZW9TAuziw5LLmFjvg), and some ethnic music from the countries where he's lived (https://blog.scuolaleonardo.com/2023/04/25/bella-ciao-one-of-the-most-famous-italian-songs-in-the-world-from-the-resistance-to-money-heist/).

Since he can't find his way around a sequencer, he breaks away from repetitive beat loop patterns and seeks to create more organic pieces. Having said that, he only knows how to use a few DAW platforms which are all primarily loop-based ... it's complicated.

All recordings are original compositions recorded using SoundTrap, (http://www.soundtrap.com), and Audacity (https://www.audacityteam.org). More recently, he's been mastering tracks in Ableton Live Lite (https://www.ableton.com/en/products/live-lite/) and learning how to use MPC Beats (https://www.akaipro.com/mpc-beats) ... he bought some MIDI controllers ... There are no pre-recorded loops. If you are getting into composition, you should grab this (https://www.asio4all.org/).

MIDI is currently being played through an Alesis Vortex Wireless 2 keytar and with a regular ASDF keyboard and a mouse. Rad.

The mixes are low, so turn them up!

Jim Greif says his biggest influence is the Doogie Houser theme song by Mike Post (https://youtu.be/zE4M3hPut7E). 

Rockambo is fluent in neurodiversity and his music is neurodivergent-friendly.

All the appropriate influences are noted where possible. Contact him before using or distributing this material.

El Urco aúlla desde las lejanas tierras del norte donde habitan Joy Division, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, Javier Corcobado, Depeche Mode...
Combinando bajo, viejas guitarras y sintetizadores míticos (Korg MS20, Roland MC505, Korg Volcas...) con cajas de ritmos, Pablo (aka Urco) deriva entre melodías post punk, shoegaze, darkwave y synthwave
