Thank you for I know you are LOVE
There is an incredible feeling around you. You are inspiring and you are love. We are here to inspire one another. Music is love. I was born to give you my music. The feelings that I have for you are undeniable and my brain is pulsing gratitude. My message is love and your message is being recieved. Thank you for showing me how to be love and keep pushing on.
U stream is a very powerful experience. I am feeling excited to perform on U Stream night after night. Whilst I have bounced around recording studios for a few years, this is the year where I realize that if I stick to performing every night, things will fall into place. I have met some incredible people who have given me there time and effort and who have recorded me. I thank them and love them with all my heart. Now it is time for me to perform every single night. At this stage in my career, getting those every night gigs is not easy, so I look forward to performing on U Stream live for friends and lovers who I have met along the way. Life is short, we live, we love, we laugh, we play, we give birth, and we die. It is a roller coaster ride and we're spiraling through a galaxy of connected, energy, full of love, and gracious people who are kind and make me feel incredible feelings. It is those feelings I get from you, world, that make me happy to be who I am and happy to continue writing music.
This year I plan on bursting a whole new palet of music. Being inspired is easy. It takes a beautiful moment to realize how thankful you are for the sound you are hearing is inspiring you. I thank you for inspiring me and pushing me to be who I am becoming.
So catch me on U Stream. Lets chat, get to know one another. I'll sing you a song. You sing me a song. Love is all around.
Peace friends.

My 3am poem
This warmth is warmer than wheels on a railroad.
Love is close. Love is now.
Love is happening all around.
When work becomes play then my job is done.
Cuz in this dream I am dreaming I am reaching for the sun.
Slowly one turns to we and so we dream on.
Falling in love and tangled in a bond.
A bond of peace and joy.
This world is our toy.
The words will roll with sounds when I become a city boy.
I am your witness to your greatness, breathing in your healing.
Soaking in a warm and inviting feeling.
Relaxation is key. Feel it in the song.
Songs and sounds mix like a blender into this bond.
Close your eyes my dear for we've arrived.
At this place in time just as the planets align.
Let your mind rest in this great harmony.
And I'll remind you you can be who you want to be.
If life is a test your passing with A's.
This is my 3am poem for the day.

Before the show at the All Asia, Chris Geadreault and I were out on another adventure as we slowly put together the music video for This Moment. We have a few shots left (a roller coaster and an airplane) before we release the video to you. Chris and I snagged some shots at the Prudential Center in Boston MA and then in front of a graffiti wall in Cambridge.

Ibanez AEG Series
Today I got my bird noises on. You know, that sound you hear in Mexican / Spanish music when they roll there tounge at a high pitch? That sound. We recorded it in Strummin' and had a great time. The track already has a latin feel to it, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to add some latin, spanish, sounds to it.
I noticed Tristan Prettyman blogging about Jeff Tweedy and instantly looked up Jeff's concert at Farm Aid. Jeff Tweedy is from Wilco and I found the concert to be incredibly entertaining. Jeff's lyrics are passionate and remind me of the style that Bob Dylan uses. Very poetic, deep, down to earth lyrics. Like when Bob sings A Hard Rains A Gonna Fall and he says, "Where the pellets of poison are flooding there waters. Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison." Jeff would say something like that. On top of the poetic lyrics, melodic melodies, and intricate guitar playing, Jeff was also playing in front of a fascinating crowd which looked to be over 5,000 people.
The orange guitar on the left is my Ibanez AEG series Nylon String guitar. Sitting pretty next to it is, my manager, Tim's Arts and Luthier steel string. Together they make a great couple and will be used at the upcoming shows. My Ibanez has been through thick and thin with me and seems to sound better with age. It performs great on stage and gives an extra pop and slap sound to it that I find difficult making in a steel string guitar. The Ibanez's battery compartment just thankfully got repaired and doesn't cut out anymore. I bought the Ibanez when I was still going to college at Keene State when I traded a black guitar in for the Ibanez at Guitar Center in Nashua NH.
"The city's lit up in a million lights and connected by invisible strings.
So I zoom out further and further. And see love driving the cars.
Like a sped up movie theres a mirror of lights across the sea it's no to far. "
Happy 4th of July! -Zach Robinson

A Short Film titled World Is Round
The fabricated guitar was strummed and recorded at Jackson Records in Chester NH. My manager went ahead and added some echos and effects to the vocals which turned out nice. He had as good of a time as I did working on this short film and I am grateful to present it to you.

In The Studio making Heaven Or Hell
I shot a third webisode of me recording my song Heaven Or Hell. I shot in the studio with my manager recording. Check out the video.
Zach Stevens is coming over later in the day and we are going to the Pasta Loft at night to shake our tail. Last week, Zach, myself, and the record label took a trip to the Pasta Loft and had a good time. There was another excellent musician there named Mike who was running the event. People were sitting, eating, and talking about there daily business and a stunning waitress left me with a kind hearted present, a batch 19 black Fedaro. I thank that waitress for teaching me a lesson in giving.
I had a dream that I was driving in my car with three Auburn girls that I grew up with back at AVS. I looked up in the sky and saw a word that I could not make out. The word was written backwards in the sky and it was left from a plane that had just flown by. It felt like a sign had been made in the sky. Just as I turned onto the street, a nuclear wave of, what felt like radiation, wofted over me and my car. I felt my body falling backwards. It was a feeling of letting go, a feeling of going with the flow, a feeling of leaving my body in some sort of outer body experience. I woke up instantly in a satisfied sweat. I liked that dream. Maybe it was John Lennon flying the plane and sending me a message.
Much Love,
Zach Robinson

The Birth of a Guitar
Both these instruments belong to my manager, who might I add, rocks both of them out like you wouldn't believe. While recording my track Strummin', he layed down a perfect rhythm to it on his drum set. He made the drums sound rhythmatic, gravity defying, jazz infused with an indie flair and blew the studio away. My eyes closed for approximately 10 seconds and when I opened them, we had landed on Pluto.
I've started a series of webisodes titled Love² x Z. Check out the first episode on youtube. Click here.... Love² x Z episode 1.
