The ATLAS DEI (66'24") CD by Robert Rich contains excerpts
from the soundtrack to Daniel Colvin's DVD of the same name.
For this project Rich re-imagined several pre-existing pieces to
go along with Colvin's fascinating visual art. Those who saw
Rich perform live in Spring of 2006 at The Gatherings Concert
Series will recall the stunning video presentation he played
along with (which was an early version of this work). While the
DVD contains Colvin's cerebral visuals matched to 90
continuous surround-sound minutes of Rich's music, the CD
presents an interesting range of musical highlights. Avid fans
will enjoy tracing the origins of each composition as Rich
thoughtfully mined his back-catalogue for the most appropriate
pieces, then fashioned them into something new. ATLAS DEI
works well as an audio only experience. Containing music
derived from the darkest regions of the earth, to the brightest
grain of stardust, Rich's work evokes the enigmatic nature of the
universe while emphasizing its harmony with the human spirit.
With his steel guitar, flutes, native percussion, field recordings,
synthesizers and samplers Rich delves into the mysteries of the
cosmos, and our unease at trying to fathom a place in it.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for new music from Robert
Rich and his CD ATLAS DEI
