 Artist: Amoeba: mp3 download Genre(s): Ambient Amoeba's discography:  Watchful Year: 2000 Tracks: 11 Amoeba was one of the results of a multi-decade on-again, off-again collaboration betwixt multi-instrumentalist Rick Davies and ambient composer Robert Rich. The 2 number one met in 1979 after Davies returned from a stretch along in England and Spain. Throughout the '80s they would bring together forces on respective bands, including Quote Unquote and Urdu. To the union Davies brought a wealth of musical have, the power to play instruments ranging from winds, guitars, and synth to pleximetry, and an apprehension of electronic music which had been deepened during his time redaction Music Technology and Home & Studio Recording magazines. As important were the contributions made by Robert Rich. In fact, though the deuce had collaborated antecedently to the making of the first Amoeba record book, Rick Davies did non work on it. Instead Rich brough in Andrew McGowan, Dave Hahn and Matt Issacson. The record album did not receive strong reviews and was useable only in circumscribed quantites. Rich was a highly experimental musician. He was one of the first people to work with micro-toned synthesizers, and had performed legendary "eternal rest concerts" where he played ambient, droning music from late evening until good morning that was designed to be listened to by a sleeping audience. He besides released respective solo albums like Trances/Drones, which came out in 1983 and Rainforest, which was issued in 1989. He has worked with Steve Roach, David Tom, Lustmord, Lisa Moskow, Vidna Obmana and Forrest Fang. Indeed, his musical aspirations reached all of the way back into puerility, when he was spellbound by the rhythms and textures of sounds in the humanity around him (croaking frogs, ventilator shafts, etc.) and reinforced his first-class honours degree synthesizer from a kit at the old age of 13. The arcsecond record album produced by Amoeba, Watchful, was a masterpiece of collective work by Davies and Rich. Featuring a combination of multi-layered ambient textures and pop instrumentation, the album resembled many works that as well existed on the edge of pop, like those by Talk Talk and Dead Can Dance. Receiving many incontrovertible reviews, Watchful proven that the artistic marriage of Davies and Rich was fruitful, indeed. Pivot followed in late-2000. |
