Rain Man otherwise in his composing capacity known as Spasmo is a singer / poet / songwriter/ arranger / composer who in the field of music operates as something of a one man musical battalion fighting a war of recognition to win.
Firstly as a human being and secondly a recording artist with a clinical diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome / High Functioning Autism he's chosen to open this new profile so to give more attention to Autistic awareness issues at the same time as bringing his poetry and singing work into the public domain.
Utilizing a diverse and eclectic range of musical influences Rain Man seeks to reflect his own world as well as his reaction to the outside world in his songwriting work as seen through the mind's eye of a person with Aspergers Syndrome.
On the one hand as a celebration of Difference and the unusual abilities, mannerisms, structure and focus associated with Autism and on the other hand as a soulful meditation on the trials and tribulations of perservering through life with a developmental disorder in tow Rain Man with his ironic artistic sense and attention to detail seeks to convey the realities of a contradictory existence where special abilities and difficulties walk hand in fist in somewhat of an uneasy partnership with one another.
As a person at the high functioning end of the Autistic spectrum whose able albeit in a very structured and rigid capacity to communicate and empaphise via music Rain Man is looking to step into the vaccuum between us and them (Autistic people and the rest of society) illustrating his special interests in specified and particular compositional styles at the same time as championing inclusivity and the concept of bringing Difference into the mainstream through the universal medium of music.
For further information on Rain Man's special interests and activities please refer to the Spasmo MySpace page which focuses on his compositional work and cinematic influences in their own right as opposed to this profile which is clearly seeking to champion Autistic awareness via Rain Man's songwriting and performance work.
To which end as time goes by new blogs will be added with both personal and universal information regarding Aspergers Syndrome and the range of issues within the Autistic spectrum in order to bridge the gap in people's understanding of Autism and challenge the indifference which in today's world is every Autistic person's worst enemy.
Working on the basis to quote Rain Man's own words that 'Difference is the spice of life and indifference is the death of it' we would appeal to all music lovers who appreciate the music on this page or the importance of the cause of Autistic awareness which the profile champions to request Rain Man as a friend and help us to build a base of support which will enable the release of Rain Man's music in the future from which the plan is to give a donation on every sale to various Autistic charities and support groups worldwide.
Thanks very much for listening and reading.
