- 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

Thank you, everyone. After many requests I decided to make this a downloadable album on my Bandcamp page at robertrich.bandcamp: robertrich.bandcamp.com/album/foothills-robert-rich-live-on-kfjc-28-may-2014
This is great. So atmospheric. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks Robert for your music :o)
Still, seven years later, to come back to this, to find it as a new experience.
I use this and anything else of yours in my massage and body work practice. It really facilitates healing in multiple dimensions. Thank you!
Robert I love the world you created, so I'm not leaving. We shall remain here. May to have more of your music sun energy for us to live forever in your planet Sir Rich......Thanks
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. :)
Its the only music I listen to while brainstorming or working. Its fluid and not distracting
Thank you so much for your incredible music Mr. Rich!
I listened to Robert Rich from their albums Numena, Geometry, Bellow zero, et.al., and always surprises me by his inspiration and talent. This is a really good performance!!
Electronic music at the top. Thanks Robert for this wonderful music.
Loved 'Stalker'.
This is a bit like watching a magician reveal how he does all his magic. But even afterward, you're still amazed.
Started listening to your music at a young age when I happened upon a radio program called hearts of space still enjoy listening today.
Same since my early 20's
Love it
Been listening to your music since my early 20's. Never gets old and you always find a way to keep it fluid and enchanting. Thanks for sharing your work with us all these years.
Давненько я таких открытий не совершал. Ушел наслаждаться!
There are infinitely more than quirks in this bizarre and rebellious sound architecture. Like a naive soul not yet deflowered 🕊
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.
Je ne me lasse pas de revoir entierement ces moments magiques. Merci encore Monsieur Rich.
Surreal. Elements of King Crimson at times..LOVE IT! 🎹 🎶 😎
Breathtaking. Simply breathtaking. Had it on Ambicon2013 autoplay and had an encounter with a genius. Thank you !!!
Great performance Robert!
One-chord ambient can actually make you famous! What a great lesson!
Everything is beautiful. Thanks.
awesome performance Robert.
Robert - always a delight to be immersed in your meticulous craftsmanship, and deep musicality. It's a thundery Oct afternoon here in London, England. (Oct 3 2015.) I'm transported instantly to soundscape, Stanford and earlier CA haunts! Remember your bread making with relish! (And jam.)
Well done, Robert Rich! When I was listening and watching, I felt that I was having a privileged view into the creative process of music, sound and consciousness. Thank you, on behalf of both e-music creators and listeners, like my self.
Amazing result..beautiful sence of sounds..there is spirit...outstanding!
Inspiring performance... Lovely studio - all those records :)
You're music speaks to me in ways I have forgotten, but primitively remember. Thank you for the breaths of fresh air
beautiful, wonderous, awesome!
Gotta love those crazy surf/ noise/synth nerds on Foothill College Radio!
Sounds wonderful, Robert!
Its Brilliant!
Thank you from Ukraine.
Love it! Thanks!
Thank u for this amazing video.
Just coming across this hidden jewel in'19. Started following you in '94 after hearing tracks from "Propagation" on hearts of space. Seeing the master at work is really cool.
@@MidnightLight. I think it is cool the music can still be appreciated
Dear Robert thank you for being around for us and a BIG thank you from me for "Somnium" the soundtrack of my life
Absolutely beautiful!
Very nice! What a nice reunion with where it all began.
Love it. Feels like I'm drifting down a river of tranquility. Thanks
Nice work Rob. I noticed you have a DS Prophet 12. I cannot believe the sounds that I get from my P12 sometimes. I always like to watch ambient artist at work. They wait so patiently for the sound to evolve. Thanks for the post.
Very inspiring, thank you Robert!!
Robert, your music is so incredible, hypnotic, moving, powerful and I could use a million other adjectives to describe it! Your ethereal sound is something I've never experienced from music before. Are you having any upcoming concerts? I live in Los Angeles and I'd love to hear your fantastic music in person! Thanks!
Amen
I like Robert Rich's music..it always take me to a different dimension.
Absolutely beautiful work - Thank you Robert.
Amazing improvisation! It's so awesome to get this kind of view of it being created in the moment.
Absolutely stunning piece, thanks so much for sharing
This is so beautiful. The word is Beautiful.
So soothing, thank you for being with us in those dark times...
Robert, I have been a fan since your first release. Thanks 4 the years of fantastic music and electronic flashbacks.
Much obliged!
Awesome to see live like that, with great view on the setup ! Impressive performance, thank you Robert for that video !
Hi Robert, This is spontaneous beauty. Oh master my master of inspiration. You are channeling from the universe.
Love the slide guitar work with the ebow and the wacky little...looks like you're bowing with a pen or something on the string. Frippilicious!
Thank you so much Mr Rich. For everything.
Amazing! Love your music Robert!! Greatings! :)
Peace, Love and Yes! to Synthesizers..excellent composition. Thank You.
Thank-You for all of the Great Compositions that You've Created and played over so many countless hours and memories!

Great work! You have given me some idea's in my studio.

Respect from Italy
Dear Robert,
I have recently started listening to your youtube channel. Your music is amazing. It is not only cosmically beautiful it also helps me to concentrate when I write code - it sort of drowns out other unnecessary thoughts. Please keep making more....
Leo Shatokhin Thank you Leo, that's very kind of you. I'll keep doing it as long as I can. All the best - RR
Your music has never ceased to amaze me Robert.As I become one with it I am always transported to another place.I will always be listening and thank you for so many amazing journeys.
Wow this is so beautiful. I love your music. So transcendental. Takes me to a certain place, a very wonderous & peaceful place. Thank u for creating and sharing these works of art with the people. One of the few artists that i can say refreshed my love for music, when i was bored and tired with all the regular played out stuff. Stands out and apart from the rest, just what i love.
I am in awe. I am a fan of your music from the first time I heard it.
Good to see there are really passionate artists who make deep, limitless music. :)
Timeless and beautiful. You command your spaceship well, Captain!
0:35:00 I love where it goes at this point. Maybe it just hit me in the right mood, but I became totally engrossed.
Love that steel guitar sound, thanks
I have surrendered and subscribed--SO MASTERFUL, keeping all the plates and me spinning, suspended, entranced. Thanks, JB (Bowen Synth Designs/Solaris) for exposing me to art that speaks directly to my Soul, esp. the lap steel and flute work~I am here to stay. . . inspired to power up my keyboards and attempt to preach a sermon such as yours, Reverend Robert Rich.
This is how I always make my Str8 Sounds music live on stage or live in studio -- spontaneous, with some planned orchestrations of synths or drum patterns, but mostly wild, unrehearsed explosions. Love this session of yours here.
Thank you Robert. I've used your music for the past years to help me sleep and all I can say is : Thank you!
+meparadis I'm honored! Thanks for the kind words.
You inspired me into the ambient/new age direction. I truly believe this is the music of the future. "Revilot" is in the making. My dream is to do a laser light show with you ...David Helpling , Thom Brennan ,Jon Jenkins , Patrick O'Hearn , Boards of Canada and Steve Roach . AMBIENT ..where no man has gone before. Thank you for all your music and inspirations.
Hey Robert, I don't know if you'll read this but I'm a HUGE fan and really love your work (I'm a musician too)
your one of my musical idols I wish I could meet, thanks for the long list of great classic ambient albums!!
+John Appleseed Thanks for the kind note. I do read the comments (Google sends them to my email.) I'm flattered, much appreciated. - RR

lennythebat Glad you like the Dev too!
what a guy!
you are the greatest artist of this kind of music in the world by far!! so beautiful!!
maybe you should do soundtrack to blade runner 2 ;) ;) vangelis was good in the first movie but i think u would take it so deep that people would be in a total trance!
Excellent production!
It's amazing live! I came here from the video "Robert Rich & Paul Schreiber of Synthesis Technology" and I have no regrets :) Thanks, mr.Rich
I love you Robert. You're highly underrated.
This music is REALLY AMAZING !!!!! I have just discovered another awesome composer of electronic music !
This is pure magic!
Really great, I like it, bravissimo

I was at your performance at Gathering in Philadelphia. I loved it.
I like the atmosphere of this performance. You just can close your eyes and with help of imagination immerse yourself into bizarre mysterious world to discover. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to "Comsology" release!
Es ist so schön wie die Uneinziehbarkeit der Krallen räuberischer Vögel oder die Unsicherheit von Muskelbewegungen in Wunden der Weichteile der hinteren Halsregion 🌟
It was a pleasure meeting you, Rob. I am very impressed with your music and cannot understand, why I have not heard off you earlier ;-) I hope to be able to swing by again in the near future and hope we have another nice evening chat ;-) Thank you very much for your hospitality and the good wine ;-) Axel
I've always loved your use of the ebow and it was a treat to see your technique live.
MASTER !!!!!!
Robert - I discovered your music at age 17 and have been hooked ever since! It's very nice to watch you at work in this live performance. Thank you.
+ButterflyBullet I'm honored, thank you!
Great music - as usual. Watching you make it in a radio station is comparable to waterfalls and fractals visually because each LP is a universe unto itself, plus the laptop and this concept of expansive sound.
I want a room like that.. Great sound, thanks.
What a masterpiece :)
i'm happy to see he is getting some recognition. he has a large following in Philly, now.
relaxing music... i like it ! 🎶🎶
Just came across this gem! I was attending Foothill in 1980 and would have loved to have seen your show. Love the eBow on lapsteel...very tasty! 89.7 forever...THE WAVE.
Amazing !
The greatest genius of deep psychedelic ambient... His album Seven Veils is, tjo my mind, the greatest masterpiece in the genre.
Thank you!~
