In a mood of philosophical calm, Robert Rich realizes music
imbued with a sense of wonder at creation. The seven works on
ILLUMINATION (71'06") are based on the concept that music
should be simplified and enlarged, and Rich achieves a
powerful stillness. As static masses of sound and colliding tonal
spheres emerge out of his dramatically forceful musical
imagination, the soundfield moves beyond the human scale.
From quietly haunting to restless dissonance and bleak
humming atmospherics, ILLUMINATION is gripping, mysterious
and resonant. Rich is a true sculptor of sound and provides the
listener with a nearly tactile experience. He works with sound
and its sensation, and continually discovers new meaning in the
creative impulse - while his fans drift within the inscrutable
vastness of his work.
