CD Robert Rich – Echo Of Small Things

Robert Rich – Echo Of Small Things (Soundscape, 2005)

Released in 2005 on the Soundscape label, Echo of Small Things is a masterful 61-minute exploration of "stately ambience" from electronic pioneer Robert Rich. This unique project was born from a creative dialogue with photographer David Agasi, where Rich’s calm, reflective soundscapes serve as a sonic companion to Agasi’s hauntingly sensual imagery. The result is an album that focuses the ear on the beauty of the intimate—the "colors of the mundane"—ranging from the scent of night jasmine to the cycle of the seasons.

Critically acclaimed as one of the highlights of Rich’s expansive discography, the album blends ethereal flutes, elongated lap steel guitar notes, and subtle field recordings. Listeners will experience a seamless mix of warming drones and phosphorescent textures that create a "tranquil dimension" of sound. This Limited Edition Box Set is essential for fans of moody, personal, and universal ambient music.

Key Highlights:

• Genre: Ambient, Soundscape, Drone
• Standout Tracks: "Pathways," "Circle Unwound," and "Scent of Night Jasmine."
