Ambient Music Pioneer – Robert Rich

Ambient music pioneer Robert Rich is touring North America to support his new album, Ylang. Venues include planetariums, cathedrals, art museums and university recital halls. Drawing from decades of recorded work, his concerts blend composition and improvisation in a fluid continuum, creating a hypnotic atmosphere.

Rich’s performances will include live electronics with analog modular synthesizer, keyboards and computer, along with his signature handmade flutes and steel guitar. Visuals will include custom built laser projectors and deep saturated lighting.

About Robert Rich
Across three decades and over three dozen albums, Robert Rich has pushed the boundaries of ambient and electronic music, merging new technology with ethnic and electro-acousic sources, linking old-school spacemusic to gamelan and raga, cyclic minimalism, psychedelia and trance. Rich began building his own analog synthesizers in 1976, when he was 13 years old. He later studied for a year at Stanford’s prestigious CCRMA while earning a degree in psychology and developing tools for lucid dreaming research.
