I had the privilege of playing at the same looping festival as Randolf in Santa Cruz, CA, a handful of years ago, the Y2X International Live Looping Festival, created and directed by Rick Walker. Randof is a spectacular human being, talented, and genuine as they get. :-) Singapore is lucky to have him.

I don't care where you came from,,,what colour of skin you have,,,what language you speak,,,in music we all speak the same language which makes us brothers and sisters. I've never meet you, but I see you as a brother musician and sometimes they can be closer than blood brothers, thus, you are part of a very large family. Love is the root of our tree and we are it's branches. This was a wonderful performance from a wonderful guy and how lucky are you NOT to labeled.

( Although I've yet to find another Android music app to match "Caustic") praps a mobile too. All food for thought, so thanks again Randolf for re-inspiring me :O)
