Product Description
About the Artist
Robert Rich began building synthesizers when he was 13 years old, and has continued to pioneer and customize synthesizer technology and software ever since. He studied computer music at Stanfords prestigious CCRMA while earning a degree in Psychology, and in 1982 first performed his now-legendary Sleep Concerts -- ultra long-form shows meant to sustain hypnogogic states in a sleeping audience. Since 1982, Rich has recorded over a dozen influential and critically priased albums, ranging from early forays into static deep ambience like 1983s Trances/Drones to the electro-acoustic environments of Rainforest (1989) and Propagation (1994). Richs collaborators have included Lustmord, Steve Roach, Alio Die, David Torn, Vidna Obmana, and Forrest Fang, among others. He also records with his group, Amoeba, exploring atmospheric songcraft on their 1987 CD Watchful. Along with his prolific recordings, Rich has written numerous articles on electronic music and microtonality for such publications as Electronic Musician, Keyboard, and Music Technology. He also writes music software, designs sounds for electronic instrument manufacturers, and is co-developer of synthesizer microtuning specifications that have been accepted as industry standards.

Excellent-, April 13 2000
By D.M.K "smart reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Inner Landscapes (Audio CD)
One of my favorite all time CDs is Robert's Trances and Drones...If you like this CD, Inner Landscapes actually takes you deeper...A fantastic CD...that very quickly puts the listener into a deep altered state..I almost would be careful driving in the car with this Cd as one most decidedly goes into a trance.. On a long drive this may get you where your going much faster and your head may be in a new and novel place...enjoy

Excellent atmospheric ambient, Jun 18 2002
By Shanus Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Inner Landscapes (Audio CD)
It's hard to go wrong with Robert Rich, especially when you're dealing with this stage of his musical development (experimental sleep ambient). I regularly play this before & during sleeping (that's how it was intended to be used) and thoroughly enjoy the effects. The strange atmosphere makes for some interesting half-awake, half-sleeping mental imagery. I highly recommend this, and the Robert Rich/Lustmord collaboration "Stalker" even moreso. Other great albums for sleep (or just plain ambient bliss) are Vidna Obmana - "Landscape In Obscurity", Steve Roach - "The Magnificent Void", Vir Unis - "The Drift Inside", Vir Unis - "Aeonian Glow", Matthias Grassow/Klause Wiese - "Mercurius", and any Oophoi release.

Do you think that Amazon might post some RealAudio clips? I might be interested in this CD, but I can't identify this recording with only a jacked-up Hearts of Space playlist.
