Hi. On tonight's show, I'll be profiling the work of Californian composer and multiinstrumentalist Robert Rich starting at 8 PM eastern time and going until 1 in the morning. He's got an amazing amount of music available in a wide range of styles from ambient, to drone, to a bit of tribal, and even a bit of solo piano music. from www.robertrich.com :Across three decades and over 30 albums, 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 harmonies, 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).: I'll be playing works from 1981 to 2008 during this 5 hour artist retrospective and it'll be a cool introduction to his music. So join me for a unique ambient/electronic experience on www.mushroomfm.com Thanks for listening. Scott
