Mysterious, echoey works for harp, lyre and tanpura, evocative of the little folk associated with fiddlehead ferns, toadstools, and dragonflies.

Details:
Performance artist Robin Crutchfield moved to New York City in the mid-1970's to participate in the growing Soho and Tribeca art scene. After some critical success, he crossed over into music co-founding the experimental No Wave noise band DNA, which recorded tracks for the No New York album with Brian Eno. After a year with DNA, he departed to form his own musical project, Dark Day, with an array of various guest performers including Steven Brown of Tuxedomoon, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, Nina Canal from Ut, and others. He continued on alone releasing a number of albums in styles ranging from cold wave, to medieval pagan, to quirky electronica. Eccentric filmmaker Erroll Morris noticed the oddly evocative and filmlike nature of his work and commissioned him to record tracks for his short-lived Bravo TV series "First Person", which was televised in 2000.

Robin sidelined his musical efforts by writing and self-publishing a series of short faerie tales, which he continues to this day. After the purchase of a number of acoustic instruments: an African drum, several psalteries and harps, a lyre and a tanpura, he now devotes his musical output to attempting dreamy soundscapes that paint aural pictures of faerie realms.
