Robert Scott Thompson is a significant and internationally recognized composer of computer music with over fifty computer music works composed since 1981.

Amorphia presents a collection of state of the art computer music in five works originally recorded in 1995 and remastered and edited for compact disc release in 2000.

Robert's style of computer music eschews common techniques of electronic music creation involving MIDI and focuses instead on software synthesis and digital signal processing methods. Each of these works was created using the acoustic compiler Csound and a variety of digital signal processing tools such as the Composer's Desktop Project software.

Amorphia contains the elaborate work "Wind in Trees" which is dedicated to RST's mentor, composer Joji Yuasa.

Robert Scott Thompson has been creating computer ambience for about 20 years. From his early days in the analog world to his modern forays in the new millennium digital realm, he has always been on the cutting edge and in the forefront of electronic music. "Amorphia" is one of the finest sets of computer ambience available. Robert has the unique ability to combine his intellectual prowess with his spiritual and emotional creativity. He is also able to work in a variety of genres and sub-genres at the same time. This deep adventure has elements of his classical compositions along with his avant-garde and electronic stylings. It goes beyond psychoactive and beyond psychotropic. It is absolutely psychoactive! The experiMENTAL computer effects stimulate brainwave activity. That activity provokes physical, emotional and spiritual responses. Deep listeners will feel and HEAR their hearts fluttering and their muscles twitching. The avant-garde sounds (reminiscent of Charles Ives' dissonance of the early 20th century) evoke eclectic, yet pleasant, imagery. The closest comparison would be a completely organic and non-toxic LSD experience. This is an important adventure and a milestone in modern music! (Jim Brenholts - 2001)
