Open Window by Robert Rich Robert Rich : Open Window.
 Groundbreaking ambient and dark-ambient.

While better known for his electronic textures, Robert Rich often includes piano solos during his live concerts, and Open Window documents his improvisational approach to acoustic piano, with influences ranging from Alan Hovhannes and Erik Satie to Terry Riley and Keith Jarrett. Rich recorded Open Window on his own 1925 vintage A.B. Chase baby grand, an instrument with a more intimate sound than a full-size concert piano. Over a period of two months, he kept a daily schedule of piano improvisation, with microphones set up to record at all times. The pieces selected here reflect special moments during this concentrated period. These were the moments when effort vanished, and the music seemed to write itself. Magical.
