[atlantaprog] Fwd: Robert Rich, Lanterna & Envie at Eyedrum on June 14

Hi all,
This looks like a "don't miss" show. I've heard Robert Rich's stuff. 
He is a master of electronic ambience.

>With over 20 albums to his name, ROBERT RICH has helped define the 
>genres of ambient music, dark-ambient, tribal and trance, yet his 
>music remains hard to categorize. Part of his unique sound comes 
>from using home-made acoustic and electronic instruments, microtonal 
>tunings, computer-based signal processing, chaotic systems and 
>feedback networks. Rich began building his own analog synthesizers 
>in 1976, when he was 13 years old, and later studied for a year at 
>Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics 
>(CCRMA).
>
>Rich released his first album Sunyata in 1982. Most of his 
>subsequent recordings came out in Europe until 1989, when Rich began 
>a string of critically acclaimed releases for Fathom/Hearts of 
>Space, including Rainforest (1989), Gaud=ED (1991), Propagation (1994) 
>and Seven Veils (1998). His two collaborations with Steve Roach, 
>Strata (1990) and Soma (1992), both charted for several months in 
>Billboard. Other collaborations include Yearning (1995, with Lisa 
>Moskow), Stalker (1995, with B. Lustmord) and Fissures (1997, with 
>Alio Die.) Rich's contributions to multi-artist compilations have 
>been collected on his solo albums A Troubled Resting Place (1996) 
>and Below Zero (1998). He also records with his group, Amoeba, 
>exploring atmospheric songcraft on their CDs Watchful (1997) and 
>Pivot (2000). His 3-CD live set Humidity (2000) documents the unique 
>improvised flow of his recent performances.
>
>Rich has performed in caves, cathedrals, planetaria, art galleries 
>and concert halls throughout Europe and North America. His all-night 
>Sleep Concerts, first performed in 1982, became legendary in the San 
>Francisco area. In 1996 he revived his all-night concert format, 
>playing Sleep Concerts for live and radio audiences across the U.S. 
>during a three month tour. In 2001 Rich released the 7 hour DVD 
>Somnium, a studio distillation of the Sleep Concert experience, 
>possibly the longest continuous piece of music ever released.
>
>Rich has designed sounds for television and film scores, including 
>the films Pitch Black , Crazy Beautiful, and others. He also works 
>closely with electronic instrument manufacturers, and his sound 
>design has graced the preset libraries of Emu's Proteus 3 and 
>Morpheus, Seer Systems' Reality, sampling disks Things that Go Bump 
>in the Night and ACID Loop Library Liquid Planet. Rich has written 
>software for composers who work in just intonation, and he helped 
>develop the MIDI microtuning specification, which was accepted as an 
>industry standard. As a mastering engineer, he has applied his ear 
>to numerous albums in recent years, and his studio was featured in 
>the September '99 issue of Keyboard Magazine.

>Cutting through the dark waters of the mind comes LANTERNA ... music 
>on the dark and lonely side but with a glimmer of hope that hangs 
>just beneath the surface. Travelling the same alluring seas as The 
>Moon Seven Times, Lanterna is a solo, mostly instrumental project 
>put together by Moon Seven Times guitarist Henry Frayne.
>
>Henry's defining guitar arrangements have been an integral part of 
>well known indie bands Area and The Moon Seven Times. Area released 
>four albums containing Henry's work (C'est La Mort/Rough Trade 
>Records) and The Moon Seven Times (Third Mind Records & Roadrunner 
>Records) have recorded two albums, both found on all seven 
>continents (well, maybe not Antarctica.) Most recently he was tabbed 
>by French artist/producer Hector Zazou to play on one of Zazou's 
>international productions.
>
>Rich in moody guitars and dreamy, thoughtful rhythyms, Lanterna 
>moves between the tranquil and the phantasmagoric. An ideal 
>soundtrack for a road movie in slow motion.

>world; however, purple has been trying to steal blue's thunder for 
>some time--nice try purple, too bad you suck!" and then he took 
>another pull on his PBR.
