Fran Dominguez (Forest Robots) is a California-based composer
and seasoned mountaineer with over 400 ascents and 6,000
miles of x-country river crossing, rock climbing, snow trudging,
rock scrambling and bush whacking. It is from these numerous
experiences that he culls many of his ideas and themes for his
compositions which often include ambient, classical, drone,
jazz, synthwave, and IDM music. But it is Dominguez’s daughter
the main muse that drives him to compose, as Forest Robots is a
love letter about nature and the legacy he wishes to leave
behind for her.
His latest album, Amongst A Landscape Of Spiritual Reckoning,
out on April 2021 on Wormhole World Records, explores themes
of spirituality, existentialism and ethics, and how each relates to
the experience of parenthood amidst great global cultural
instability.
This is the follow-up to 2020s critically lauded album ‘After
Geography’ (Bandcamp Daily’s Best Of 2020, Electronic Sound
Magazine, The Moderns 2019-2020). His music has been
featured on Cable Television programming, NPR news
broadcasts and has been playlisted on numerous radio stations
in the US, Canada, Mexico, South America, United Kingdom,
France, Germany, Sweden, India and is also digitally streamed
by thousands every month in over 80 countries.
Forest Robots work is often compared to Boards Of Canada,
Four Tet, Brian Eno, Cluster, Erik Satie, Harold Budd, and Nils
Frahm. His latest work is reminiscent of Jon Hassell, Gigi Masin,
Weather Report and Nick Drake to name a few.
