Previous Page (Galleries).Robert Rich began building his own synthesizers in 1976 at the age of thirteen, and was soon experimenting with improvised music and sustained sound environments. An interest in trance states and lucid dreaming led him to a degree in psychology from Stanford University. His all-night "Sleep Concerts", first performed in 1982 for a sleeping audience in a Stanford dormitory, and his evening "Trance Concerts" have become legendary in the San Francisco Bay area, USA. While at Stanford, Rich studied for a year at CCRMA, the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, where he began working with just intonation, a tuning system based on the natural harmonic series. His numerous articles on electronic music and alternate tunnings have been published in many journals worldwide.
