Inside Robert Rich’s Soundscape Studio #MusicMonday
For over four decades Robert Rich has been making singularly unique soundscapes of microtonal tunings, DIY acoustic, and electronic instruments. He’s got over 50 records to his name, collaborating with the likes of Steve Roach. Here he talks about the methods he uses to create his work. Here’s more from Synthopia:
Robert Rich has helped define ambient and electronic music, with dozens of important albums across four decades. Rich began building his own analog modular synthesizers in 1976 when he was 13 and later studied computer music at Stanford’s CCRMA while researching lucid dreaming. Rich performs and lectures worldwide, masters albums for many independent artists, and consults with synthesizer manufacturers. His all-night Sleep Concerts have become legendary. This TE-MP0 Workshop was a free-form conversation, as after he introduced himself and provided a brief tour of his studio, he opened the conversation and interaction with the audience.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
