Robert Rich & Lisa Moskow

about

Ambient musician Robert Rich and sarod player Lisa Moskow come together to create an ethno ambient, electro-acoustic soundscape on their critically-acclaimed, collaborative album Yearning. Combining Lisa's masterful sarod playing with Robert's sonic textures and utilizing analog/digital synths, guitar, santoor, and percussion, the two '..explore their deepest yearning to find self-expression through sound'. The musical concept behing "Yearning" emerged during the making of Robert Rich's album "Propagation" (1994). Rich explains: "I was looking for the album I was hearing in my head, a complete aural womb that would go on forever and ever." The album Yearning became a reality through the extraordinary unification of Lisa Moskow's instrumental virtuosity and improvisational imagination and Robert Rich's multi-instrumental wizardry and peerless mastery of sonic architecture. The collaboration began with Rich recording Moskow during six hours of sarod improvisations in alap style. Exploiting the vast potential of digital multitrack recording, Rich was then able to integrate his own huge, shifting clouds of sound made by flutes (many hand-crafted to fit the tonality of each movement), synths, guitar, santur, and percussion, "allowing the music to move me in what ever direction it should." "Most Indian music is recorded in a strictly ethnomusicological manner," Rich notes, "isolating a particular performance in a specific place and time. I treated the sections, based on various
