 "Emerging from his own distinct corner of the West Coast electronic music scene, Random Rab offers a powerful, timeless contribution to sonic exploration. Rab is a master of manipulating our temporal awareness, leading us into seemingly ancient worlds, where to our amazement, we find visible shreds of the future. Allow his sound to catalyze your travels into haunting ecstasy, and you will not return to your same beginning. Playing only his own originally produced music live, the depth and craftsmanship of this offering is remarkable. With an array of drum machines, samplers, sequencers, and instruments, it is a clear devotion to expression and perfection. The beats are smooth, bold, and overwhelming. The original vocals, melodies and hitting bass merge seamlessly into a tapestry of unique and unexpected journeys."

Originally as an artistic outlet beginning in early 2006, violinist Tyson Leonard commenced writing the music for TROPO after the demise of former group Rain Fur Rent. Jam sessions eventually mushroomed into a full collaboration between Tyson Leonard, Grant Leonard, And Ryan Johnson, also formerly of group Glider. Tyson's soaring violin has been a California central coast club staple since the boys 1st traveled out from Boston 10 years ago. With his very unconventionally atmospheric pedal steel, Ryan creates sounds reminiscent of electronic ambient music. Grant sets grooves on bass guitar and Basstation synth laying the foundation with hard hitting drummer Jeff Schneider of Minneapolis and percussionist Trevor Mahin. Together these seasoned players create an electro edged rock set that travels through a myriad of emotionally charged dance tunes continuously raising the audience's energy, sweat and all! The lyrics are conscientious and the message is uplifting! Tropo is a name that embodies the group's music. "Going back to the origin... the wild." The prefix TROPO suggests a state of change or environment for change.
