Bestiary by Robert Rich Robert Rich : Bestiary.
 Groundbreaking ambient and dark-ambient.

Medieval bestiaries depicted strange and mysterious creatures, allegories from distant new lands filled with wonders. This musical bestiary maps a perplexing mindscape--shape-shifting organisms are created in sound. Like the liquid forms that populate the paintings of Yves Tanguy or Joan Miro, each sonic creature on this album takes on the qualities of a living thing; yet each is also ultimately ephemeral. Rhythmic, energetic, bizarre, and very glurpy, Bestiary gets its amazing mutated electronic textures from the MOTM analog modular synthesizer and Rich's generally superlative sound design. It's also peppered with twisted contributions from Forrest Fang, Andrew McGowan, and Haroun Serang.
