“Filled with musical psychomancy and simmering with melodic intelligence and intrigue, Roy Keane Track Lists can be consumed on as many different dimensions as you’re willing to tap into. Composer Roman Roy Keane is Artist who knows how to turn his music into a ‘craft’, isn’t willing to compromise his ‘gifts’ (and rightly so), and who knows what to do with (and can admirably pull off) both the use of indisposable grunge and the long intro. Wonderfully composed, hauntingly beautiful, and intricately arranged, his music never stalls, drags, bores or whimpers aimlessly“- Noisehead.com
Currently Roman is working as the composer on his full feature film, in collaboration with Gia Kereselidze (ArtmanGia Pictures). Working title- “Nino”.
