Codgers on the Moon is a solo album by Charles Bobuck, long-time composer for The Residents, released May 15th 2012 on Invisible Recordings.
It is the first album released as a Bobuck "contraption", beginning a prolific solo recording career which would persist beyond Bobuck's retirement from his group The Residents in 2016, until his death in 2018.

Notes by Charles Bobuck[]
This collection of eleven contraptions - "contraptions" seems like a better description than compositions - all share a number of things in common. First off… none are particularly dramatic, clever or ironic. Maybe a tiny bit of soaring, but for the most part, it is a series of tuned percussive patterns laid on top of each other, audio moiré. They take their beauty in a type of minimalism. So perhaps it is akin to sitting on the ground and inspecting nature immediately around you.
