What is cool?

Miles Davis was cool. His classic "So What" was very cool. Ronny Jordan's acid jazz take on Miles' "So What" was very cool indeed. 

I like cool!

As "Take Five" inspired me to do "Take Six", "So What" inspired me to do "That's What". Same logic applies; an outline with lots of room for manouvering, contact a bunch of awesome musicians, see what they come up with and blend and stir everything into a delightfully cool cocktail. Swing it ;-)! 

"That's What" this is!

That's What (ft. Derek Cornett, Joe Drzewiecki, Daniele Turani, Vlad Josephson & Walter Kelleher)

Robert Holm is a pianist/composer from Stockholm Sweden. Most of his work consist of melancholy little piano pieces

Guitar player since 1988, I like rock in all its incarnations. 

This is a one man band project. All tracks are written, performed, produced, mixed and mastered by myself (except for collaboration where songwriters and musicians are properly credited).

Thanks for dropping by.   Since early Jan 2014, been unable to play due to recurrent injuries to both hands, that initially happened late 2013.  At long last my hands feel pretty much recurperated (October 2014), but I'm rusty on technique front now.  Few weeks playing should get me back in shape.

 If it grooves, I play it (dance, rock, metal, jazz, funk).  Developed a style that blends ideas from Jazz bebop era onwards with hard rock, metal, with modern approaches to the rhythm.  Now several months in, I've made several friends here and worked on several collaborations.  I value everyone's comments.  Big thanks to all of you.  Please suggest any improvements or changes you can hear ... I've worked with enough critical producers ... so no offence will be taken!  Here's some background.

As a kid, swapped a rusty old push bike for a beaten up acoustic guitar, and have had music in the blood ever since.  Been fortunate enough to play and record with some great musicians, who've taught me a lot.  Marc Storace (Krokus) sang with me for some months ... what a voice ... asked me to join Krokus for Euopean tour, but I couldn't.  My dear friend Vic Martin has played on keys with some of the biggest names on the planet, and sprinkled Magic Dust and ear candy on many of their albums.  He first inspired me to even think about learning harmony.  He and I had a two week holiday in Malta to do a 1 hour set on the beach for 14000 people at an Arts festival.  Cisk beers spring to mind.  

So, been a Pro-guitarist for awhile, but family changed that.  Eventually decided to properly study music, met Shaun Baxter (who was Head of Rock and Jazz) at the Guitar Institute in London, and studied, ate, drank and talked music with him for many years.  I (occasionally) teach guitar and music.  Now I mainly compose, record, and music is my enjoyment and relaxation.   Absolutely hate musical score as a way of teaching music concepts ... music should be made easy for everyone!  Busy on a concept to try and fix that! (See bottom of description)

Time allowing, Vic and I will be putting together an album now he's finished working with Gary Moore.  At least I understand what he's talking about now, harmony-wise :-)

Collabs.  Many, many thanks to these fine fellahs for writing the following tunes.  I added a light sprinkling of guitar ( :-)) )

Look forward to many more collaborations.

I also design and create software, including emuso/PracticeSuite PRO which is guitar education software (https://emuso.buzz).  Been a passion of mine, taking a visual concept I had in 2001 through prototyping and started MusicIncite Ltd in 2013 to begin productising it (spare time, part time, and full time since 2018).  After several attempts, it's finally getting great reviews, including from Music Professors!

I also run a FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/musictheorybarebonesnaturallearning

Piano is my instrument, inspired by the world. Sounds like whatever I like, intent on a cool vibe, often somewhere in between Swedish melancholy and Brazilian bittersweetness... 

Peter Bennborn Project is a diverse musical experience ranging from romantic piano ballads to alternative indie metal rock and everything in between, but for country and reggae so far...

The music is either performed alone or in worldwide collaborations, wherever the appropriate musician for the task is located - no limitations and no limits in a borderless world...

I know I'm a little late lol Well A little lot late filling this description of myself out but I tend to believe I music describes us more than we can say. I'm a poet. I'm a producer. I'm a rapper. I'm a thinker. I'm a truth teller. I'm a God fearing man. I'm a good friend. I'm a bad enemy. lol I'm a Baltimore Native. I'm an artist and i'm a fan of several unknown artists ijs More importantly I'm a human being that makes music that reflects my reality and human nature. I'm sure you may love a song or 2 of mines and you may wonder why you don't like others. Well today is a song to me and if the sunshines, my melody will reflect that. If it rains, I will be honest about how I feel about that. So If you don't mind being mind-humped from time to time with truth, selflessness, educated with a humbled but with a humbling approach then I'm you guy lmao BTW If you enjoy my music and want to collab, I'm open for it 

Please feel free for use and share my sounds, images and videos and I will be so happy to work in a collaboratives projects, only let me know what you want! Enjoy it, and good vibes from the streets of Córdoba Gotham City!
