R O B E R T H U D G I N S Lunar Promise With Lunar Promise, Robert Hudgins uses his incomparable understanding of digital creation (and perhaps a bit of moon dust) to make catchy instrumentals that are as cool as they are intellectual. His technology- fueled creativity is often driven by brilliant computer crafted bass melodies. It sounds like a love letter written in glitch and rhythm, sealed with hypnotic harmonies. Hudgins weaves a familiar sense of warmth with these modern techniques, building tracks that can as easily be the soundtrack to the cosmos as a simple walk downtown. Lunar Promise invites you to drift, listen, and maybe even dance a little.
