Robert Rich to urodzony w 1963 roku amerykański twórca muzyki ambient i dark ambient pochodzący z USA.
Muzyk o bardzo bogatej dyskografii, liczącej ponad 30 LP.
Muzyka stonowana, lecz bogata, malownicza i przestrzenna, a w wypadku niektórych albumów dość mroczna, często sprawiająca wrażenie soundtracku do filmu, który nigdy nie powstał (co nie jest do końca prawdą, bo Rich tworzy także muzykę dla tv oraz filmową).
Do najczęściej wybieranych przeze mnie albumów należą Humidity, Stalker (z Lustmord), Below Zero, Somnium.
Muzyka zdecydowanie bardziej do spania, niż do działania.
