Robert was part of a circle of young people for whom making and sharing music was an important element of their friendship. The three women are framed between the moon in the background and a tape recorder in the foreground. The women, crammed inside a rented trailer, have fallen into a state of rapture under the trance-like effect of the moon. The tape recorder allows them to share their efforts with a wider group. Robert often exchanged audio letters on tape with his friends, in anticipation of the digital file-sharing that is so common today. This statement of friendship and creative collaboration marks a new trend in Robert’s art, focusing his attention on people and their interactions.
