Robert Burbidge - Nightingale 

Music is truly timeless. 

Tracks and albums written over a decade ago can still sound as relevant and important as if they were written today. The only thing that matters is the music. 

And that’s especially true for Robert Burbidge, who’s followed up a treasure-trove of freshly-created singles in 2023 with his latest release ‘Nightingale’ that first came to life over a decade ago. 

‘Nightingale’ was an improvisational composition created and recorded in 2009 by Winter, with the basis of the track recorded during a one-take capture in her native LA. 

Winter’s plangent piano lines and off-the-cuff melodies form the body of ‘Nightingale,’ says Robert. 

“Winter has a catalogue of pretty phenomenal improvisational captures that are all one take - you can actually hear the pauses in the recording, where she’s thinking real time of what to do next musically. She manages to hit some really interesting chord progressions and harmonies that seem to just come out of nowhere.” 

Nightingale was produced by Steve Gligorovic and Robert, who added a soundscape feel to ‘Nightingale’ by mixing in bird sounds and atmospheric synths to Winter’s stunning piano track. 

The result is the stunningly simple and effective ‘Nightingale,’ a sombre yet powerful single that neatly bookends Robert Burbidge’s stunning year of music. And as Robert says, it doesn’t matter whether the track was written in 2009 or 1009, as the source material is so powerful. 

“When Winter sent me this piano tune, I really wanted to do something with it, to enhance and capture the mood and atmosphere of the piano tune. Some people might equate this to a fine bottle of wine in their cellar that has been ageing properly.”

Nightingale

Nightingale feat Winter Clip

(Gallego) 
O vento, coma os soños, disipa os nosas néboas soterradas
Leva as nosas pedras ennegrecidas, rechinando de pena.
O lóstrego fragmentaos e esnaquízaos. Para que a terra poida voltar a dixerilos.
Durante unha noite o raposa aconsella antes de que se pechen as portas dos soños.

(fr)
Le vent, comme les rêves, chasse nos brumes enfouies
Charrie nos cailloux noircis, grinçant de chagrin.
Le tonnerre les fragmente et les égrène. 
Pour que la terre les digère à nouveau. 
Le temps d'une nuit la renarde avise et conseille avant que la porte des songes ne se referme.

Yo, yo, yo people, we are super excited to announce our new "old" release on Hypno Disco Records. These two tracks mean a lot to us for different reasons, read about why below and click the link to listen to them. We hope you enjoy them....🔥🎵🎶🔥🎵🎶🔥🎵🎶

This is the title track from our two tracker on Hypno Disco Records and digs into the archives of FunkWise to bring you a unique take on trip hop and we go waaaaaay back for this one.

"Well Of Souls" was the very first tune written by these two renegades that would become known as FunkWise. It was also the very beginning of FunkWise MC's lyrical journey with this being his very first transition from spoken word poetry into beat driven MC'ing and it was all recorded over a decade ago in 2012. This one flows, the message righteous and the vibes are strong.

Well Of Souls" written by Joe Burgess and Talib Best
Produced by Joe Burgess
Vocals by Talib Best aka FunkWise MC
Vocals and percussion recorded at Henwood Studios
Additional mixing by Brett Mitchell
Additional engineering by Tom Excell and Joe Henwood.

A classically trained trumpet player, composer and producer, Robert Burbidge is one of those rare talents that blurs the lines between classical and contemporary music.

Having trained as a professional trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn and piano player from the age of seven, Robert made his way into several orchestras and bands including the National Children’s Wind Orchestra.

With classical music in his blood thanks to his parent’s upbringing, he then broadened his musical scope, turning first to jazz, and brass bands and then dance music as a teenager.

Working under the name Rubberlips, Robert became a hit on the dance music scene, working alongside Grammy-award winner Louie Vega, Utah Saints, Damo Suzuki (CAN), Groove Armada’s Tom Finlay and Ashley Beedle, while performing at prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Dublin Castle in London, Trades Club and Beatherder festival. 

Robert has now moved on from his Rubberlips alias and launched a solo career as an independent composer, producer and music maker. As well as working on solo projects for a variety of highly-respected labels, he’s also collaborated with a wide range of diverse names including Gregory Thomas (Funkadelic), Robin Lee (Faze Action) and Kevin G Davy (Cymande). And working alongside long-time collaborator Steve Gligorovic and singer/songwriter Winter, he’s released several stunning singles with an upcoming album and range of merchandise to come in 2024. 

His work has had repeated global airplay, including on the UK’s BBC Radio 1, Soho Radio, on cult LA station KCRW and via the award-winning Lopsided World of L show.

Equally at home producing with a live band or using cutting-edge software, he’s perfectly positioned once again to blur the boundaries between music genres. And as ever, Robert’s unique sound resonates with depth, texture and that all-important groove that blurs the lines between classical and contemporary music.
