Silian Rail is Robin (guitar) and Eric (drums, glockenspiel). They play instrumental music which combines richly complex, open-tuning, finger picked guitar playing with aggressive, intricate drumming. Their songs are constantly shifting mazes of rich melodies and intense rhythms, equally epic, fragile and explosively dynamic.

Eric and Robin are long lost friends who grew up together in Durham, North Carolina and parted ways at 13, only to re-meet accidentally years later in California. Drawn together by the shared history of their musically rich hometown and the sheer oddball luck of the situation, they began playing music together. They found it quite delightful, and they have kept on keeping on since then, playing everywhere from the Bottom of the Hill to Churches in Modesto. They have also participated in the Madcat Women's International Film Festival two years in a row, performing original live scores, and are proud members of Thread Productions.
