A message from Robert as he was building this website on 1st January 2018 (two days before he died):
I’m pleased to welcome you here. I am very excited about my first album and building this site for it. The site is in a very early stage of development. Actually I don’t know exactly what to do with it yet, but it will grow naturally, I’m sure. My name is Robert Hanuman. I am a singer-songwriter. I accompany myself on the classical guitar. Because some people are touched by my music I’ve had the courage and the pleasure to record an album. It wasn’t too easy because at first I didn’t know where to go from just me and my guitar to more complicated arrangements. I just started recording without knowing where to bring it to. And even more, how was I supposed to translate this resonating with Unmani’s message to music on an album. Anyway, have look here and of course I would be thrilled if you like it. Please let me know. By the time this site goes live there should be a contact page :-).
~ Love, Robert
Let it All Fall Apart
A few years ago a friend said to me, just take one of Unmani’s Satsangs and put it on music. A good idea but I knew it would not be as simple as that. Yet this album is the result of two years of songwriting in which I started to merge Unmani’s expression with my music. Unmani is my wife and a well known teacher and writer. In my lyrics I started to combine Unmani’s expression with the expression of visitors and participants of her meetings and retreats, and with my own life experience. I feel inspired by Unmani’s words and have a lot of passion to turn them into music. In return Unmani gets inspired by my music so it really works as a feedback loop. Sometimes music reaches our heart where the spoken word does not. And of course, it is essentially a wonderful way to express myself. I started recording the album in January 2017 in India and it took me the whole year to finish this album. It covers the different styles of music which have inspired me during my life. I wrote some pieces for classical guitar but I also recorded a blues rock song.
