Album notes from Rob:
The world of podcasting brought allMeadow and my music together. I'm a big fan of trance, techno and downtempo. This EP was a test.
The result is we broke some new ground (at least for me) and I'm extremely pleased how the remixes came out. A new way to listen to piano.
The EP has been exclusively released to digital networks.

Lyrics to "Return to Flat Rock" (sung by allMeadow):

Album notes from Rob:
I recorded Woods of Chaos in HD at 192kHz - 24 bit. The songs are meant to be loud and more in your face. The album is a reflection of my battles, successes and determination to move forward. There is a lot of venting exemplified with intense and heavy notes throughout the songs. I’m not scared anymore. The "Woods of Chaos" will always be there, but I'm able to overcome the beasts and find peace. Create your own experience with each song. Enjoy!

Rob's Mission
“My mission is to help people discover and follow their passion, whatever it may be. I do set out to broaden the minds of musicians and music lovers. I try new things and do a lot of grass roots marketing so I can open up new doors and get into the minds of music lovers who’ve been waiting for something new. This is not to serve myself, but to better serve God and hopefully inspire others.
Music is a great self-development outlet. For musicians and students of music, the classic instruments are great tools to build character, discipline and creativity. For both musicians and general music lovers, music is universal. It can turn a bad attitude upside down, create a stress free study session, make the party, marry two lovers, and be the soundtrack to your workout or the accompaniment of your life."
- Rob Costlow
