Geometry, by Robert Rich, has a full history that gives it -- almost -- a life of its own. Rich composed and recorded the set in 1986 and 1987. Spalax released it in 1991; Linden released it in 1994; and Hearts of Space packaged it with Numena and released the double CD on their Fathom label in 1997. Rich and Steve Roach mixed the set at Roach's TimeRoom in Venice in 1987. The compositions explore the mathematical relationships between harmony, melody, timbre, rhythm and tuning. Rich used a unique intonation to apply a cutting-edge tuning to these pieces. This is some fairly heavy and heady stuff. The music is lush and beautiful -- and intelligent. The combination of improvisation and structure allows Rich to build deep atmospheres from acoustic and electronic sources. This soundscape is from early in his career. He is still using many of these techniques today and he still explores obtuse relationships. ~ Jim Brenholts, Rovi
