Rob Johnson Music: Epic instrumental music for the movies in your mind.


Rob Johnson is a musician from London. His new album Throw The Sun Into The Sea is the follow up to his debut 2009 release, the critically acclaimed Upon a Painted Ocean.

Recorded in the two weeks before Christmas 2011, Throw The Sun Into The Sea delves further into Johnson's exploration of instrumental music and the ways in which this can be communicated towards an audience. To illustrate this the album comes in the form of a complete audio/visual experience with 10 short films to accompany the record (which can be accessed via the album mini-site (www.throwthesun.com). The album was produced by Geoff Swan (Jonny Craig, Young Astronaut) and mastered by Jon Astley (Led Zeppelin, The Who, ABBA, George Harrison).

Johnson has played guitar in numerous bands over the years (most notably Forward Is The Farewell - who previously toured with acts such as Hellogoodbye, Canterbury and Furthest Drive Home). Influenced by a wide array of artists, composers and filmmakers, Johnson's albums are his attempt to do something completely and totally different to establish himself in the industry and carry on making records for a very long time.
