Robert Rich Interview And Performance: Live At Movement 2007

June 07, 2007
Robert Rich describes his MOTM modular synth
Robert Rich has been experimenting with custom electronics ever since he was lured away by the legendary Stanford Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics. While there, he performed "sleep concerts" of ambient and droning music that was meant to stimulate REM sleep. Many albums later, Robert is still impressing audiences with complex yet minimal performances that access many different types of gear.

At DEMF 2007, Rich used a custom MOTM modular synthesizer, designed by Synthesis Technology and constructed by himself. Using several analog and hybrid modules together will midi conversion, he is able to both control sequences of sound and tweak on the fly. One of his trademark pieces is the lap steel guitar which he runs through an Eventide Eclipse and several long delays.

Don't miss the second half of this clip, which contains live concert footage of Robert tweaking his MOTM synth. Check out part II coming soon!
