Hello fellow MOTM'ers, this is a bit off topic but I did clear it
with Paul first before posting.
My company Fake Science has announced the release of three live
recordings by ambient music pioneer Robert Rich. Two concerts in San
Francisco (at Morrison Planetarium and Fort Mason) comprise over three
hours of live material. These recordings have only ever been heard on
the Dub Beautiful Radio internet stream, but now are available for
digital download for the first time ever. These are the first live
recordings released by Rich since 2001.
http://us1.fakescience.com/music/robertrich/index.phpI don't think anyone here needs a lesson in the importance and impact
Robert Rich has made in the world of ambient music. For those who
don't know, he is credited with co-creating the sub-genres Dark
Ambient and Tribal Ambient. Each recording displays intricate notes
from his wide musical repertoire and include performances on processed
steel guitar, bansuri, and of course, his own custom built MOTM module
synthesizer.
Live at Morrison Planetarium is a 90 minute set. Live at Fort Mason
is comprised of two sub-60 minute sets, and begins with a 12 minute
improvised piano solo - the likes of which has never been recorded or
released.
Each set costs $5.00 for 320k mp3 digital download (no DRM).
