> * Interview on Ambient Visions
>
> The Ambient Visions website recently conducted a long interview with

> * Echo of Small Things
>
> Robert has recently finished Echo of Small Things, a collaboration
> with photographer David Agasi, who has been living in Tokyo for the
> past three years. There will be a limited production of 125 custom
> boxes containing prints of ten photographs, a signed and numbered
> page with artists' comments, and CD of music by Robert Rich. The
> music suggests an audio journey through shifting physical landscapes,
> permeated by a subtle human presence, as if viewed through the ears
> of an aural observer. The CD alone will also be available without the
> prints. We expect a release date in mid-April. You can learn more
> about the project on Robert's website, with previews of the photos at
> http://www.robertrich.com/echosmallthings.html

> "For the ninth and final concert of our series, composer/performer
> Robert Rich presents his most recent work from upcoming albums
> "Electric Ladder" and "Echo of Small Things" along with
> improvisations and older compositions using MOTM analog modular
> synthesizer, keyboards, computer, steel guitar and various flutes.
> Rich's new work often involves hybrid harmonic tunings that expose
> relationships between timbre and melody, taking advantage of new
> advances in computer control of analog synthesizers. His use of
> acoustic instruments maintains a human connection to his densely
> layered performances."
>
> In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the organization's
> founding, The Just Intonation Network, in association with Other
> Minds, will present a series of nine concerts of twentieth and
> twenty-first century music in Just Intonation at a number of
> different San Francisco Bay-Area venues between April 9 and June 11,
> 2005, featuring works by many of the leading composers exploring the
> wealth of expression offered by just tunings. This will be the most
> extensive series of performances of justly tuned music ever presented
> in Northern California--possibly anywhere--and will showcase the
> beauty and diversity of the music being created by contemporary
> composers and musicians working in Just Intonation.
>
> Composers and performers represented on the series include Alexis
> Alrich, Phillip Arnautoff, David Canright, Ellen Fullman, Gamelan Si
