Recent press for 'Machine's Song':


"Composer Robert Stillman's sublime latest transmission sets wordless one-man band pieces conjuring a quaint Americana against mechanical collages...Like drifting off in a saloon bar reverie and waking up beside a locomotive engine.
 (    ) -MOJO


"Stillman takes over-familiar totems of Americana asks you to hear them afresh." THE OBSERVER


"Machine's Song is a creaky, uncanny music that creates an impressionistic 
picture of old America" - UNCUT


"Messy results can often arise from mingling the homely familiariarity of tradition with anarchic, free thought of modern composition, but Stillman's latest work is a storming success in this respect" ROCK A ROLLA


"Listening to Robert Stillman's extraordinary Machine's Song is akin to stepping inside some half remembered dreamworld inhabited by fairground organs, player pianos and other antique musical automata." - SHINDIG'S HAPPENING MAGAZINE


"It’s beautiful music that engages both the emotions and the intellect, and seems to exist at least partly in the shadows of memory, which is, perhaps, a bit part of what makes it such a rousing delight." - THE HURST REVIEW
