> * Coming Soon: Robert Rich and Ian Boddy's "Outpost"
> 
> A new CD is due for release in early March, a collaboration between Robert
> Rich and British synthesist Ian Boddy. Together, Rich and Boddy have
> concocted a mysterious blend of fluid electronic rhythms
> and impressionistic 50's Sci-Fi soundscapes. With tools ranging from
> vintage and modern analog modular synthesizers, prepared piano, metallic
> percussion, feedback networks, and digital signal processing, the two
> musicians have crafted a sonic journey to the remote edge of a future lost
> civilization. Full of surprising transitions and dynamic extremes,
> "Outpost" shows these two veteran recording artists stretching into new
> vocabularies. Four sections of the album feature pulsating rhythms from
> Rich's MOTM modular synthesizer. Boddy departs from his normally electronic
> voicings with abstract textural interludes on prepared piano, which he
> performed on the 1925 vintage baby grand in Rich's studio. Interwoven with
> NASA broadcasts, ionospheric radio whistlers, Boddy's extreme Metasynth
> excursions, and Rich's signature steel guitar, "Outpost" promises to take
> the listener to a very new place.
