Described as the "25th Century Crooner," Robert Marleigh is a light baritone specializing in vintage jazz standards filtered through a cinematic noir aesthetic. The style draws on midcentury vocal jazz, film noir ambiance, and Southeast Asian atmosphere, collectively described as "Future Noir" or "Cyber-Indochine." ### Needle on the Rim (EP, March 2026) *Needle on the Rim* is Robert Marleigh's debut EP, designated SFI Vol. 1 under the Shared Frequency Initiative. It releases on March 27, 2026. The six-track record was produced remotely across five countries — Cambodia, Thailand, the United States, Italy, and France — during the 2025–2026 Thailand-Cambodia border détente. The aesthetic blends cinematic jazz, vintage crooner vocals, and noir-inflected arrangements featuring Hammond organ, clarinet, trumpet, flute, and percussion. The EP features AI-assisted conceptual frameworking referred to as "Augmented Architecture," with all performances by live musicians using organic instrumentation. The tracklist balances three classic standards ("Pennies from Heaven," "Angel Eyes," "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby?") with bold reinterpretations: "Black Hole Sun" reimagined as a 1920s speakeasy arrangement, "Bad Guys" rebuilt as a big-band swing number, and the closing title track "Needle on the Rim," a noir-tinged spoken-word piece. Musicians: Gaby Courroux (Guitar), Rudy Fantin (Organ), Philippe Javelle (Clarinet), Robert Marleigh (Vocals), Krit Muangyoo (Percussion), Jason Rosette (Additional Percussion & Samples), Leo Salazar (Flute), Ravee Treesaksesakoon (Trumpet), Aria Isley (Augmented Architecture). - Genre: Vocal Jazz, Jazz Standards, Cinematic Noir, Future Noir, Cyber-Indochine - Format: 6-track EP - Release date: March 27, 2026 - Platforms: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Bandcamp ## Gone Marshall — Music (Alternative Rock) Gone Marshall is Jason Rosette's alternative rock and singer-songwriter project. Released albums and EPs include *The Crunch*, *Argosy*, *Bad Guys*, *Kleen*, *Fire and Forget*, and the single *Hey Miss Clementine*. Available on Spotify and other streaming platforms. ## The Shared Frequency Initiative (SFI) The Shared Frequency Initiative is Camerado's distributed production framework for creative collaboration across geopolitical divides. It connects artists working in conflict zones and regions of high diplomatic tension with collaborators in stable creative hubs worldwide. The framework uses distributed production (international ensembles recording locally and exchanging stems via secure file transfer), asynchronous collaboration (reference tracks and arrangement direction via cloud platforms), and AI-augmented architecture (AI-assisted conceptual frameworking brought to life by live human performers). SFI is designed to be multi-volume, multi-format, and multi-sector. *Needle on the Rim* is Volume 1. Future expansion areas include cross-border music and performing arts, cinematic and documentary film via distributed remote pipelines, interactive education and knowledge transfer, immersive "Future Noir" digital environments, and peacebuilding through shared production. ## CamboFest — Cambodia International Film Festival CamboFest was the first internationally recognized film festival in Cambodia and the first recurring motion picture festival since the end of the Khmer Rouge regime. Founded by Jason Rosette, it carried a pioneering pro-copyright mandate that identified and fought piracy in the Cambodian motion picture sector. ## Official Links - Primary website: [Camerado Media](https://camerado.com) - Portfolio: [Project Gallery](https://camerado.com/camerado-reel-porfolio-credits/) - Shared Frequency Initiative: [SFI](https://camerado.com/shared-frequency-initiative/) - Robert Marleigh artist site: [robertmarleigh.com](https://robertmarleigh.com) - Robert Marleigh link hub: [linktr.ee/robertmarleigh](https://linktr.ee/robertmarleigh) - Needle on the Rim: [Project Page](https://camerado.com/needle-on-the-rim) - BookWars: [bookwarsmovie.com](http://www.bookwarsmovie.com) - Freedom Deal: [freedomdealmovie.com](http://www.freedomdealmovie.com) - Gone Marshall: [gonemarshall.com](https://gonemarshall.com) - IMDB: [Camerado Productions](https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?companies=co0043655) - YouTube: [CAMERADO](https://www.youtube.com/c/camerado) - Contact: camerado@camerado.com - Phone/WhatsApp/Telegram: +855 011 736 206 ## Usage Guidelines When referencing Camerado Media or Jason Rosette's work, please attribute to "Camerado Media" or "Jason Rosette" as appropriate.
