Robert Rich Des Moines Interview: John Pemble Video Blog 5/29/10

A Robert Rich interivew. Robert Rich has been creating music in the atmospheric / ambient / electronic genre for three decades and is often heard on the public radio program Music from the Hearts of Space. His atmospheric spaces with unique rhythms often accompany his custom pvc flutes or the sound of the lap steel guitar played in a glissando style. During a concert stop in Des Moines he describes how his long form slow music relies on being in the moment and how he expresses sound in its flow from moment to moment during live performances. Robert's music has been a major influence in my own sound as an ambient musician and for years I featured his recordings when I hosted the now defunct Iowa Public Radio program Wild Rose Café.

Robert Rich is pure master, technically and artistically. I talk to him on e-mail and myspace sometime. Really nice guy. He even sent me some stuff that autographed. Thank you for posting this interview, I've never heard him speak before.

Excellent interview and video editing, John!

For those interested, on my YouTube channel I have a couple videos of Robert discussing his Synth Tech MOTM modular synthesizer on July 2nd in Renton WA. (not as nicely done as this, but still interesting! ;-)
