When You Think You Made a Beautiful Album

8/14/2026 12:34:29 AM ---- Updated 8/14/2026 12:47:24 AM

The Math
Hello everyone,

I'm back with new music. I've been many years on this album (don't even want to say how many), learning to work a DAW.

Here is a song called The Math

Drums: Matt Perez
Upright Bass: Ava Perez
Eurorack Synths: Thelonious Elliott
Congas: Parker Elliott
Guitars, Vocals, Roland Synth: Bob Elliott

The album is streaming on all the platforms. It is called Everybird, and you can click that title to get to links to many of the major platforms. Or if you look up "Everybird", Bob Elliott on any platform, you will find 47 minutes of new music for your ears.

I thank you always for your support.

8/14/2026 1:31:29 AM

Bob that was great, you have achieved some sort of pure flow. It reminded me of this album I love that it never made any sense that I like ~ Sleeping Gypsy by Michael Franks. What you do is so unique though, the touches of percussion shine, you've always had a way with that, and the spaceyatmospherics towards the end of the song took it to a whole other level. Reminded of Music On My Mind by Stevie Wonder.

just yet another reminder that the best music being made in the world right now is indie.
