rROcCKketT 88 is a suite of 45 dazzling instrumental tracks - ranging from 30 seconds to 2 minutes long - alternating between rhythmic and atmospheric forms, all composed on a single synthesizer, the Ensoniq SQ 80 (manufactured in 1988). As the inspiration for this creation, Zano Bathroom (an illustrator, artist, and sound experimentalist based in Atlanta) used Jackie Brenstons song, >Rocket 88<, considered by many to be the first de facto Rock and Roll song. With rROcCKketT 88, the artist invented the story of his music. He conceived a fantasy music production house in the mid 80 s in New Orleans where Hip Hop, House, Techno, R & B, Go Go, Punk and New Wave are both the backdrop and inspiration. Using these themes Zano Bathroom has imagined a comic strip score, made of video game music and TV commercial soundtracks creating a playful, disposable universe. These seven inch singles on Hollie Records are the first official release of rROcCKketT 88 and this selection of seven pieces is a good representation of the suite as a whole. Limited edition of 300 hand numbered seven inch singles with artwork by Zano.
