Album Notes

On his newest CD, Electric Ladder, Robert Rich finds a new voice for the vibrant interlocking melodies that characterized his works such as Numena, Geometry and Gaudí. With its seamless blend of analog modular synthesizers and acoustic tonalities, Electric Ladder weaves a hypnotic spell - lush, ecstatic and seductive. Its shimmering geometric lines grow more sharply etched with the clarity of justly tuned instruments and the intelligence that pervades Rich's compositional vocabulary.


Robert Rich - MOTM modular synthesizer, TimewArp2600,
Sculpture, Metasynth, steel guitars, flutes.

with:
Paul Hanson - bassoon, soprano sax on 3,4
Haroun Serang - acoustic guitar on 5

REVIEWS

One of Rich's best!!
author: Roy
Rich creates a stunning work here. The album though filled with plenty of primordial "glurp" has a very clean sound to it- not clean as in production quality, though it is- but clean as though some creature has crawled from a swamp, been cleansed by a torrential rain and is now reflecting starlight on its obsidian skin. Futuristic and primordial at once. It pulls from all of Rich's works and I think it is a real zenith of his works to date.
