Cosmograf is a progressive rock project lead by Robin Armstrong, a multi-instrumentalist musician from Waterlooville nr Portsmouth UK. The sound is rooted in 70s classic rock with a contemporary and progressive twist. Robin plays guitar, keyboards, bass and drums, sings, and records, producing himself and fellow collaborating musicians, in his home studio, 'The Trees', self built at the bottom of the garden. "The Man Left in Space" (2013) is a concept album exploring the themes of aspiration, achievement, and the failures that our quest sometimes brings.

It features a number of special guests from the progressive rock community including Nick D’Virgilio (Spock’s Beard/Big Big Train), Dave Meros (Spock’s Beard), Matt Stevens, Greg Spawton (Big Big Train)…
