**********************
Roo has been fortunate enough to work with some very talented artists. And local artists at that, which kicks a little ass.
"Warble and Rant" was produced at Asylum Studio Productions by Rick Burnette of Enc0der . Rick also wrote the music for "While You're Gone", a hidden track on Roo's demo.
Kathryn Allen plays guitar on "Windermere" and "Over One Head In," bringing to life a less digital sound than "While You're Gone" or the newer "Windermere (YoshOne 2 Remix)".
Rick and Kat can be heard goofing around on the track "Palindrome."
Other local artists contributing to "Warble and Rant" are Sohma G. Dawling and Selma Pittman . Sohma's snappy little finger took the photographs lining Warble and Rant and Boy Parts , as well as the photos on this page. Selma was responsible for the liner layout and design.
Don't forget to check out Yosh , an MC and beat maker from the UK. He was Roo's first overseas collaborative partner, with the YoshOne 2 Remix of Windermere.
For audio tracks, CDs or books go to www.lulu.com/roo . Copies of "Warble and Rant" are FREE FOR DOWNLOAD or available for purchase as a physical copy. Boy Parts can be previewed and purchased in physical copy or downloadable digital format.
