Robert Rich is an ambient musician and composer based in California, USA. He began building his own synthesizers in 1976, when he was 13 years old. Rich's ambient music tends toward organic, and is founded upon the seamless integration of electronic, electric, and acoustic instrumentation, and the exploration of complex just tunings. He is well known in the San Fransico Bay area for giving live night-time performances lasting many hours for somnolent or sleeping audiences. Some of his many collaborators include Steve Roach, Brian Lustmord, Lisa Moskow , Rick Davies, Alio Die , and Ian Boddy .
