  • My friends at KFJC 89.7 FM Foothill College, in Los Altos CA, invited me to perform live as part of a four hour special featuring my music. Because this station is special to me (it's where I performed my first live event ever, in 1980) and because they celebrate experimental music, I wanted to play an improvised concert as much as possible. Some of this gear appears for the first time in my live rig. This means that I make mistakes, and sometimes the notes aren't perfect. I like this because it's real, it's what I do. You can see a bit of my process, warts and all. (Some of the ideas here might surface on an upcoming album that I plan to call "Cosmology.") - Robert Rich

    This guy is so awesome. I just love his stuff. I write science fiction poetry while I listen to it. Sometimes I just let it play in background of my day. I think he's my favorite of all the space ambience musicians. Thanks for posting. And I like the "dude in a basement" look of this video, too. :)

    In case anyone has a computer at home and you'd like to hear this kind of music live over the internet, you can turn to these 2 stations as well.
    WPRB (103.3) out of Princeton University in Princeton NJ.
    Look for "Music With Space" with Mike Hunter Friday night - Saturday morning from 12am - 3am Eastern U.S. time zone (same as New York or Boston). Mike Hunter also performs music like this. His name is Ombient. Sometimes he may start his show at 10PM but he's always on by 12am.
    WXPN (88.5) out of The University Of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia Pa.
    Look for "Stars End" with Chuck Van Zyl Saturday night - Sunday morning from 1am - 6am eastern U.S. time zone. Chuck Van Zyl has been performing for more than 20 years himself. He used to be part of the "Nightcrawlers", then he performed as part of "The Ministry Of Inside Things", now he performs as himself.
    There may also be a number of other "college radio" stations all over the U.S. that play this kind of music. I don't have a computer at home so I don't know.

    Thanks for posting this Mr. Rich. I have been a huge fan since discovering you on Hearts of Space back when I was in high school. I am guessing around 1980/81. It was quite the adventure back then to find your sound. HOS only came on a very weak channel at 11pm or midnight on Sunday. Needless to say I was tired in Monday morning classes. I had to strategically place my antenna each week in a different place to tune in the station. Once success was attained there, I would get my cheap blank cassettes out and tape the show, once show per side. I have, of course, since evolved, and own your entire collection thanks to the internet and sites like Hypnos, etc. Your music and Steve Roach are still on constant play here. Somnium is my goto cd when I cannot sleep. Missed you when you were in Detroit a few years back. Will watch for your return.

We seen a Bigfoot two days ago on our property by our work shed , my wife wants to leave and sell the place because of the several sightings we have had ! Anyone interested ? My two dogs scared the creature away but we are sure it will be back again , Our place is not far from where a Doctor went missing only to be found deceased under some very very strange unexplained circumstances !
