Robert Rich Soundquest Festival 2021 

Robert Rich... my go-to for deep ambient for the past 30 years. His music has been part of my life in everything I do - from programming to content creation, to just laying around and meditating and transcending. Thank you, Robert!

I think this is literally one of the most beautiful live sets of music I have ever heard. Even though it's within the New Age and ambient electronic genres, he somehow manages to avoid a lot of cliches both harmonically and rhythmically, and there seems so much deliberateness to his choice of notes and rhythms. This man is channeling millennia of spiritual aesthetics from the bottom of his heart and brain. Incredible subtlety in texture composition, simple rhythms, and choice of timbres on the synth, flute, and percussion. Just "wow": I am so grateful to have discovered his music as it is healing for the soul and mind.

I live in Spain. Friend of mine showed me the path through "Fissures". Hopefully I'll be able.to watch you live. You don't even know how many nights you've been taking care of my ears and mind.

Robert Rich, i hear your ambient music all the time at work. So soothing and ethereal. The master of ambient music!!! I thank you so much!

Been listing since over 20 years to Robert rich. Saw him live over 20 years ago

First time I’ve got chance to touch to your music when I was around 13 years old. That was “La Luna”. Well, since that time I’ve got nothing, but addicted to your music and sound world. I must say, your music is most one I’ve been listening to through my life. Even when I play different another styles due to my music profession, even when I tried to make my own music with some friends and bands, your music always was and still stay golden thread firmly twisted into my destiny. I can’t even count how many times it saved my life through difficult times, how many meditations I made with helping of your compositions, how many times I’ve been back to your music to get relief and feeling of being back home again. I’m grateful to what you do till my last taking breath in this reincarnation. Thanks a lot again and again ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The Rich Sounds of Master Robert Rich! Traveling thru Space and Time! 🌎 🌞 🌙 🌚 PlanetaryAppreciations●

This is speaking to my soul, and I do not even know the language.....

Robert "Gear doesn't matter" Rich. 🤘

First became aware of Robert Rich thru his appearance on the song Swimming In December by the hard rock band Galactic Cowboys. Been of fan of Robert since.

MASTERPIECE! Amazing...

Открыл нового для себя мастера наравне с Клаусом Шульцем, Йоханом Тронестамом, TD. Спасибо, Маэстро!

Волшебно! Как история моей первой реинкарнации в бесконечном Океане Предвечного Света!

Listening and watching this saddens me that I failed to recognize early in life, my passion for creating soundscapes like this. Would have been such a wonderous, enjoyable, and rewarding occupation. Learn from me - discover your passion, and from it, create your dreams, and then make the dreams come true.

Such a master. I'm grateful for his music and that it has been so therapeutic for me.

Excellent music as usual Robert! Keep up the great work! 🎵

What kind of flute are you playing? I really love that sound.

Namaste

Relaxation mode enabled. Thanks Robert.

Bravo, Robert!

The ultimate exotic tantric cosmic futuristic be all end all of music. No-one can do music better than Robert Rich. Give this man tons of money.

What a treat! Thanks for sharing, Robert. 🙏🌏🕊

This is divine maestro, a huge thanks always for your gifts. Your music is such a balm to the soul. If you ever knew the healing pleasure of your art for the lonely heart and restless mind. Thank you forever and ever.

Stupenda 👏👍

Atmospheric heaven

Cool! A Haken Continuum gets used!

♥️ thanks, big head in front of many keys, with in mind the Key of this kind of Music. Robert Rich in the History of Music, now and forever.

You fixed it! It’s in stereo. thanks so so so much. Like day and night.

Great concert, R.R. I have many of your early work and hope you keep making new material. Much enjoyed. Thanks.....

Perfect brother 👍👍

I've seen you live on 2 occasions in Detroit, Michigan. At The Masonic Temple Theater, and the Electronic Music Festival, where you performed on the same day Jeff Greinke did his set. What a rare and great day that was for me. Thank you for all of the years you've dedicated to the craft. Truly one of the masters of synthesis.

Masterpiece... thank you Robert for all you do.

superbe

I usually listen to VLOGs & podasts while I work but lately have had some complicated jobs where I really need pay attention to details. Your music really helps me focus!

Awesome, thanks!

Always Inspiring...and Relaxing Soundscapings by a Master !...

Very niiiice. I am suitably inspired.

Nice to see you perform again! Great song titles. What kind of flute is that? Bamboo?

ROBERT SUPERB and amazing job u diddd love your studio all my best to u and dixie kim

I am so very grateful to the Festival for producing this and so very grateful for this incredible opportunity to see as well as hear the magic of Robert Rich. I dwell in peace in the soundscapes he fashions.

First like from me. I love your music. It has a tremendously relaxing effect on my mind and body.

You Are Incredible ……!!!!!

Thank you for sharing and the way you have done it is brilliant! °•☆

You are wonderful

Robert - It was incredible to see these compositions performed live from Soundscape Studio. Of course there's nothing like the Gatherings and an in person live performance. But there's an intimacy of getting to go inside your ultimate ambient "man cave" :) that I enjoyed immensely. B

Thank you for everything you do! I have been listening to your compositions for many years now and I still find new sounds in many of the pieces I've listened to multiple times. Your astounding creativity and warmthness coupled with your intellectual prowess and pureness of sound, are all incredibly special. You are a very talented and unique musician. God bless you. I wish you a long and healthy life. 🙏🙏🙏

beautiful..your music is always otherworldly

Such a shame I had to miss out on this live, but it was 3 AM and I had had a long weekend. Thank you so much for putting this up for our enjoyment.

A wonderful meditation, as always. Thanks you for your generosity with your art - I listened to Offering tot he Morning Fog on my daily walks right through months of lockdown in 2020. Great to see you perform live (although catching up days after). Can someone tell me what the instrument Robert is playing in the first minutes of A Skein for Skin - is an electric dulcimer, or something like that?

maravilhoso😇

Oh wow, super cool! I love your music, you're one of the very first ambient artists I listened to.

Wonderful set

Absolutely amazing and so peaceful and relaxing! Been listening to various musicians in the ambient space category for numerous years now and absolutely love it!

excellent wonderful music. Does anyone know what instrument he plays at minute 45:44?

Beautiful music

I have for many years adored the luscious soundscapes. So fascinating to see it produced.

Wonderful! 😊 Thank You so much for this soothing performance, Robert.

You are a master Robert Rich.

So soothing as I do my work. Thank you for sharing!

Shame on the 2 empty souls that gave this a thumbs down.

Bravo!! Thank you!!

I love your music too much, it's fascinating, greetings from Argentina 🙌

beautiful work Robert!

Может, тайм-коды подправить? А то все саундтреки прокручиваются до 10:00 и меньше

Sheer beauty

Classy stuff!

Been a fan since the beginning my friend. Always a pleasure to see what I would consider a true master at his craft in his own element and on top of that collaborating with with all these great artists. Thank you!

Loved this set, thanks Robert!!

Beautiful and deep, thank you :)

What is the keyboard that is making the base ambient chords at the beginning? I'm looking to get something with better Ambient sounds and like how this sounds. Actually, if I could get the names of each of those keyboards, that would be great!

A wonderful selection here, Robert. Thanks. It is nice that we have initiatives like this in these times without physical concerts.

I KNEW you’d get a Hydra

Thank you for this lovely interlude.

great! question... what kind of slide do you use? (I mean not the guitar ) thank you!

a stretch better than either of the Blade Runner soundtracks... bravo

Maestro.

Im not a fanatical of ambient music, but it actually sounds quite good.

RR > is that a piece of 1-1/4" PVC pipe?!?

Да амбиент он делает качественный

Never heard of, sounds like old Pete Namlook / Fax label.

All the cool kids go dawless. Not professionals

this is the opposite of pop music ... divine technology waves...
