Rapoon is the solo project of Robin Storey (born in 1955 in Cumbria, England), operating since 1992.
While studying fine arts at Sunderland University, he began pursuing a long-held interest in sound manipulation
by taking classes in electronic and experimental composition,
additionally joining with friends to perform the works of Karlheinz Stockhausen
(a key influence, as were the Krautrock bands of the early 1970s).
In 1979 Storey was one of the founding members of the pioneering group Zoviet France
and remained as a member until 1993.
The year previous, he issued the first Rapoon album, "Dream Circle",
with entrancing fusion of Indian ragas, African rhythms and experimental textures,
anticipating the evocative soundscapes of the many releases to follow.
To date he has released numerous solo albums which are widely and internationally regarded
as both innovative and influential and has participated in numerous other collaborations and side projects
including Reformed Faction with Mark Spybey and Hank & Slim with Nigel Ayers.
Also a noted visual artist, painter and animator, Storey's work has been exhibited throughout the world,
with two of his pieces on display at the Berlin Museum of Modern Art.
"The Fires Of The Borderlands" was re-issued in 2014 as a 6-panel 2CD digipak with a bonus disc and limited to 500 copies.
The bonus disc features a live Rapoon performance at KFJC 89.7 FM, San Francisco on July 1996.
