Live Archive Volume 1: From Robert's early Geometry and Rainforest period, with
hours of previously unreleased music. Melodic sequencers with swift patterned
keyboard improvisation, melting down into slow looping textures and flutes.
On the 20th anniversary of this radio concert in Paris, I can distance myself
to reflect a bit on my attempts at expressing the ineffable with limited skills,
limited gear, sleep deprived, functioning on adrenaline. I hear it as a bit of
historical anomaly. I can hear those moments that transcend the tools and
circumstance, but remain framed within the context of a concert built from
necessity. When I try to separate myself from memories of making this music, I
realize that much of the second set, and moments of the first, retain some
timeless qualities that I still crave. The remainder may only be interesting
historically. I hope that listeners might feel some energy from the moments of
discovery hidden in this archive, dated though it may sound at times.
