Synthesist Robert Rich sat down with Geary Yelton from the magazine Electronic Musician in April 2015. While preparing for a house concert in Asheville, North Carolina, Robert gives us a detailed look at his touring rig, demonstrating his 4-voice Eurorack modular synthesizer (mostly Synthesis Technology and Intellijel modules) and spelling out the advantages of programming original sounds. He talks about his role in creating wavetables for the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12 and explains how he takes advantage of the Korg M3’s features. He also gives us a lesson in bowing the lap steel guitar and shows us a few of his custom flutes made of PVC pipe. He wraps up the conversation with some insight on electronic music composition and modular synthesis. (Watch the whole thing, because it just gets better.)

I have been a huge fan ever since I stepped into a local music store in the early 90's, asked for a ethereal music recommendation and was introduced to Robert's Gaudi CD (which still to this day remains among my favorite). Since then, I have searched high and low to find other artists who produce similar music. There are many good ones out there (many of whom Robert has collaborated with) but Robert still remains my overwhelming favorite! I listen to his music (literally) daily and have populated comprehensive playlists of everything I can locate produced by Robert Rich on various music streaming services. I have highly recommended him to everyone who I feel might be receptive to his musical style (many, strangely, are not!) Robert obviously travels a great deal and regretfully, I missed his appearance in Asheville and at Moogfest here in Durham, NC in May of 2016. Hopefully, the pandemic will ease, Robert will resume his travels and I will get the privilege to personally attend and hopefully meet this true pioneer and legend!

Robert seems like a really nice guy. Makes me feel better about my PVC digeridoos and crusty old Paia theremin. And the point about Option Freeze/Option Lock is really pertinent these days. With unlimited choices, you end up with unlimited decisions to make.

Great interview! Robert is probably my biggest inspiration. I have had some very introspective and visionary experiences listening to this guys music. Definitely evocative of the mysterium tremendum.

Totally marvelous. How can you not love this guy? Way to go Robert. Love how you use lead fishing weights as Hold. I do the same with DigiTech effects pedals.
