Special Robot is a space rockopera written, performed, and recorded by Mitchell Thompson, based on a dinner plate he made when he was three years old. He recorded it in high school, using the music he was writing to learn how to use his 16 track recorder. All of the music and lyrics are completely original, except for track 11 (originally composed by Koji Kondo) and track 12 (Which is a cover of a song from Trigun). Thanks for listening.

ART GALLERY:
Some of the people who have heard the rockopera were kind enough to create visual art inspired by the story and music. Here are some of those pieces.
