CutTime Productions LLC - Quality Club-Ready Classical Music

Mr. CutTime

When Detroit Symphony Orchestra bassist Rick Robinson began to transcribe music for his instrument, he started realizing cool ideas to connect new listeners with orchestras. More than just playing, arranging, composing and publishing, Mr. CutTime is on a mission to take classical music OFF the pedestal of the concert hall, to refresh and share this powerful inspiration with curious music lovers and colleagues. It's time to cut loose with the classical! See videos of his adaptive work at Detroit News and YouTube. Now he's resigned DSO to go all the way. Read the press release or newsletter.
Buy his hit singles on iTunes or CD Baby.
Listen to his 2011 NPR interview with Guy Raz.
According to CVNC, "Mr. Robinson is a modern-day Dvorak... [whose] compositional skills are quite exceptional. His erudite and passionate verbal remarks were as moving as the beautifully crafted and emotional music."
Follow him on Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn. Email him.
Here's a bio. See the Schedule of upcoming events.
