EP46 - Mountain Singers (U.S.) / TotoRobyn (U.S.)
The two-artist format returns with Mountain Singers and TotoRobyn, both from the United States.
Both artists have interesting stories about how they ended up in modular synthesis, specifically eurorack. TotoRobyn (Robyn Alman) is new to modular and has been into synths for only a few years, and Mountain Singers (Bill McGuire) has an interesting artistic life split between a trailer in the woods and a home in Minneapolis.

Bio:
Minneapolis, USA, Mountain Singers is the journey of music composer Bill McGuire. From the first releases in 1993 until today, he has stayed true to the idea that reinvention is vital and that inspiration comes when the artist allows new experiences to take place.
In 2019, Bill started living part-time in a camper, and it quickly became his recording
home. Since then, the woods of NE Minnesota have been the inspiration and haven for
creativity.
