- Robert Rich … pioneer of the genres of ambient music, dark-ambient, tribal and world fusion with dozens of albums across four decades.
- Charles Cohen … free-flowing improv on The Buchla Music Easel, an obscurity by pioneering synthesizer designer Donald Buchla.
- Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith … rain-like trickles of synth vie with cloudier electronics to produce an air of beauty mixed in with color and conjury
Across three decades and over 30 albums, Robert Rich has helped define the genres of ambient music, dark-ambient, tribal and trance, yet his music remains hard to categorize. Part of his unique sound comes from using home-made acoustic and electronic instruments, microtonal harmonies, computer-based signal processing, chaotic systems and feedback networks. Rich began building his own analog synthesizers in 1976, when he was 13 years old, and later studied for a year at Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).
