Robert Rich: Live Archive
Now available for download at Musiczeit.com

Here's the exact link:
http://www.musiczeit.com/directory.php?artist=83&title=Robert+Rich



Seven concerts spanning twenty years of performance, over ten
hours of music, available only in downloadable digital format.
Each concert is available separately.

This release comes on the 20th anniversary of the 1989 radio
concert in Paris that forms the first of these downloads. Each
concert appears mostly in its entirety, lightly edited by Robert
to fit under 80 minutes per set when needed. A few technical
glitches are repaired, but otherwise all the quirks of live
performance remain.

Here's a short summary of each volume in the series:

Live Archive Volume 1
Ici et Maintenant: Live in Paris, May 12 1989
(Soundscape SP014)
From Robert's early Geometry and Rainforest period, with hours
of previously unreleased music. Melodic sequencers with swift
patterned keyboard improvisation, melting down into slow
looping textures and flutes.

Live Archive Volume 2
Due Acque: Live in Umbria Italy, April 1 2000
(Soundscape SP015)
A deep ambient journey performed at a private concert in Italy
for fans of Robert's slowest and most introspective music,
previously unreleased.

Live Archive Volume 3
Shamballa: Live in Costa Mesa CA, May 20 2000
(Soundscape SP016)
A dynamic live concert from the era of Humidity, blending
moments of pure sonic improvisation with melodic pieces from
the Fathom-era catalog.

Live Archive Volume 4
Alien Zoology: Live at Morrison Planetarium, SF, December 9 2001
(Soundscape SP017)
A wide-ranging planetarium concert that opens with modular
analog sequences and moves into pieces from Outpost, Bestiary
and '90s Fathom-era material.

Live Archive Volume 5
Live at Cowell Theater, San Francisco, May 12 2002
Soundscape SP018
One of the more melodic concerts in the series, opening with
piano and guitar improvisations, then moving into tracks from
Bestiary and other rhythmic pieces from the last decade.

Live Archive Volume 6
Lumin: Live at Camerawork, March 6 2008
(Soundscape SP019)
A shimmering improvisatory sound environment, where harmonics
blur into waves of pure abstraction, performed live with multiple
projections of films by Paul Clipson. New music.

Live Archive Volume 7
Mycosphere: Live on KFJC, May 31 2008
(Soundscape SP020)
A radio performance for Day of Drone, where Robert explores the
slow depths with abstract organic soundscapes and glurp.
New music.


Robert Explains:

So, what is Live Archive, and why am I releasing it now?
Live Archive consists of 7 concerts that I really enjoyed,
whose recordings had a good sound quality and where I played
something different from the studio. These are mixing board dubs,
recorded at CD quality with my approval. Several of the concerts
were completely improvised and do not repeat any studio
compositions. A few of the recordings were available as radio
streams, torrents, bootlegs or limited CDRs, so I wanted to
give people a chance to get mastered, cleaned-up, full resolution
versions of these if they wanted. A few of these concerts
represent important pivots in my career, and you can hear
ideas in their raw stage of formation.

So why did I wait so long to release some of this music? Well,
it's because of the realities of digital download. Back when a
"release" meant a CD, and several thousand dollars invested in
manufacturing, marketing, packaging and such, I wanted to keep
my releases limited to the latest work. But in retrospect, some
of these more improvisational moments of the past have value on
their own, as action instead of object, like dance relates to
sculpture. The download format also allows for longer durations.
Manufactured CDs shouldn't exceed 74 minutes. Some of these sets
were 80-90 minutes long. Even now I faced a challenge to edit
them down to 80 minute CDR-compatible lengths, so people could
back-up their lossless downloads.

In general, I prefer to keep my release schedule sparse rather
than dense. So, I am releasing these recordings  all at once.
I'll treat this as a single release, although it's 7 releases
as far as the outside world may see it. Since the concerts are
available as 7 separate downloads, people can decide which
ones they want.

Live Archive is now available at http://www.musiczeit.com,
where you'll find lossless FLAC downloads as well as 256 bit MP3.
After that, the files should propagate through the distribution
network, including CD Baby, iTunes, Rhapsody and others.
CD Baby has them at http://www.cdbaby.com/robertrich20 through
http://www.cdbaby.com/robertrich26  (these are not lossless.)

Thank you for listening!
