The 12th album, Hippopotamus Five, has been released on my Bandcamp page. I'm not sure if I'll make a physical release available. Most folks don't seem interested in them anymore and I haven't sold one for many years now. I originally intended to make this an all-instrumental album, but ended up singing on two songs: Si Collop Vintu and Refried Beans. The lyrics on Si Collop Vintu are taken directly from posts I made on the Prog Archives forum under the thread with the title "Off At Tangents: Si Collop Vintu."
If you have a chance, please give it a listen here:

Track listing:
1. Choose Your Hairballs Wisely (5:35)
2. The Quest for the Holy Crap (3:18)
3. Si Collop Vintu (7:27)
4. Gas Hamper (5:58)
5. Nasal Hairs of the Anthropocene (3:08)
6. Refried Beans (5:21)
7. I Ate My Micro-Doppler Radar (3:11)
8. Please Control Your Plate Tectonics (1:28)
9. Unexpected Human in the Baggage Area (9:29)

The tenth album, Subfield Pipe, has been released on my Bandcamp page. I'm still working on the physical CD for release on Amazon.com. It might take a couple of weeks. Lots of new software on this album and I started using a MIDI keyboard controller for the first time (Alesis V49). New stuff includes Toontrack's EZdrummer, Ample Sound's Ample Guitar TC and Ample Bass J, GForce M-Tron Pro, GForce impOSCar2, Xpand!2, AnaMark VST synthesizer, and Surge VST hybrid synthesizer. Also started using a new DAW: Reaper. I like this one better than LMMS.
If you have a change, please give it a listen here:

The second single from the Incoherent Brain Dump project has been released. It's called Cadillac and it's B-side, Foggy Cows, is an outtake that won't be appearing on the album.

Superluminal Pachyderm has just released its first single ever. Back when this project started, physical CD singles were not particularly useful. They were all on-demand and having someone pay $5.99 or higher for two songs was ridiculous. Besides, I had never even toyed with the idea. A growing number of artists have been releasing material online in the last 10 years or so a few songs at a time. Some make it onto proper albums, some don't. Perhaps they're gauging fan interest to determine what makes it onto an album? So, in that spirit (though I'm not gauging anything), let me introduce you to Poojer:

This and it's "B-side" Pieces of Crap are expected to be a part of a future album called Incoherent Brain Dump.
Thanks for stopping by,

Superluminal Pachyderm is in the recording studio (and has been on and off for a couple years now) and has five unfinished songs in various stages of tweaking for the upcoming Unsalted Pants album.
Amalgamated Hippopotamus has been on hiatus for about two years, but recording has started and three songs are in their initial formation stages for AH's upcoming debut album. If lucky, it may be released later this year, but don't hold your breath.

After a serious bug at Cafepress.com prevented images from being displayed, the Buy CDs page was dismantled. It appears the bug has been mysteriously fixed. Thus, the Buy CDs page has been restored, just in time for the holidays.

Welcome to Xaagma Music. For the time being, this is the central home for all musical projects created by Ken Robinson, the founder of Superluminal Pachyderm. You will find that we have two projects linked from Xaagma Music: Superluminal Pachyderm and Amalgamated Hippopotamus. Currently there is very little activity in this area, but as progress (or signs of life) presents itself, it will be noted here in the News section.
