Robert Symons-Steel Pan Drums From Bermuda

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bermuda-01/24/05- The story of Robert Symons is interesting and moving. In what was to become a lifetime pattern of diligence and dedication, he set out to teach himself the instruments of his profession at a very early age. The renowned Steel Pan Soloist and recording artist from the Island of Bermuda currently has two CDs available titled Tropicana Steel Pan Bermuda Vol. 1 & 2. On the two volumes of contemporary easy listening compositions, he works his way through the history of pop music with panache, style and gracefulness. He arranged and sequenced all the music with a Yamaha QY20 then performed and produced it. The recordings feature Symons’ eclectic style and approach with modern music hits, utilizing all the tools known within the genre.

Volume 1 is a full of mellow interludes while Volume 2 features more upbeat and transitional adaptations of popular tunes you have learned to love over the years. “Unforgettable,” “Crazy,” “This Magic Moment,” you know them all. That memorable once in a lifetime cruise you took, someone’s special wedding reception, or memories of walking on a white sandy beach in the Bermuda sun will come to mind while listening to the instrumental versions of each track. This music is a one-way ticket to your own personal paradise.
