About Me

My name is Robby Suter. A few years back I lived in Cranbrook B.C. and while I was there I became frustrated with the fact that it seemed that some musicians looked down apon me becouse I played in a cover band, maybe this was all in my head but it just seemed there was a general vibe floating around that people in cover bands were not "real"....didnt feel music, that it was all just structure to us.Meanwhile I was in fact writing songs in a park in Cranbrook at all hours of the night, why? becouse I had to. It was my only real medication againsed the negative voices in my head,.....you know the ones,....the ones that say "your not good enough", "you are a failure", "you are broke and will never amount to anything", "She doesnt love you"........Music I feel saved my life.I had a number of songs and promised myself I would get them down on CD. I planned for the CD to take one year, in fact it took 5. Three hired musicians later, and uncountable hours recording, mixing, re-recording, computer crashes, more recording, relocating to Edmonton, self pep talks, more recording, seasonal depression, relocating back to Cranbrook, more self pep talks, etc......you get the picture.In the summer of 2007 the first "Motive Unknown" CD: OPTIONAL DELUSION was completed. I was back to my home away from home (Cranbrook) to do a CD-release party, and it was one of the best nights of my life."Motive Unknown" has evolved over time. As of lately I have takin a more relaxed aproach and have come to realize that Life is good, I want to enjoy it for what its worth, and that means that I must continue on with the project, and enjoy every minute of it. I want to do a few shows, and do more busking as well.I guess what I am saying is that at one time I had too rigid an idea of what "Motive unknown" would be, but it is a mountain off my shoulders to have come to a place where, it will be what it will be, and the great thing is.......I now beleave that "Motive Unknown" will evolve once more into a new form with a new sound, a new energyThis is....................MOTIVE UNKNOWN
