Hi All,
Robert Rich gave the Philly audience a really great performance this
past Saturday night. Robert started the show with a very interesting all
MOTM intro. He did two sets about an hour each. And the house was full,
pretty much a sold out show. Robert played some amazing synth, along
with some intense soloing on his different flutes, synthesizers, and
steel guitar. It was fun to watch Robert perform, as he was very busy
with tweaking the modular and soloing over top.
Of course I went to hear Robert play his MOTM and other synths, but was
most impressed with the solos he did on his steel guitar. What an
awesome sound Robert got out of that steel slide. He had some nice FX
processing the sound, but man could he play that instrument with some
feeling. Very inspiring.
After the show I was able to get a close look at the 20-some module
MOTM beast. It had a few Stooge panels I noticed, and had more filters
than I have ever seen in one synth. Very cool! (All of the synth geeks
were checking this out.) I was also able to meet Robert briefly and say
hello. Although it was a semi mob scene of fans getting autographs and
asking questions. Robert is a super nice guy and did a great job at the
Gathering in Philly. A most enjoyable night. Thanks Robert!
So, was I the only MOTM list member there?
