Rainforest (album)

Rainforest (1989) is an album by the U.S. ambient musician Robert Rich. The inspiration for this album came when Rich traveled through the rainforests of the American Pacific Northwest. Seeing the lush beauty of that environment contrasted by the devastation caused by clear-cut logging filled the artist with a sense of urgency. A portion of the proceeds from this album goes to the Rainforest Action Network, a non-profit organization set up to protect the world's rainforests.

In this album, Rich continues to explore deeper into a rhythmic and organic style which began with Numena (1987). Several pieces carry a pronounced gamelan influence. The most experimental track on the album is a piece titled "The Raining Room", dedicated to the Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky.

This was Robert Rich's first album released on Hearts of Space Records.

Personnel
gollark: So I guess you would have to either allow people to patent only new-for-CC things and ignore most existing implementations, or basically not allow patenting anything. Although I think patents (and half the legal system) as they stand aren't a great system and probably should not be copied into games?
gollark: At least, they mostly do somewhat new-for-CC things (except OSes) but not things which haven't been done before in another context.
gollark: Because most CC things are not, some offense in general to people maybe but not really, novel enough to be patentable, because of "prior art".
gollark: So how does it work, you can arbitrarily patent things then sue people?
gollark: (actually, maybe remind me to, it could be interesting, but... bees)
