Robert Scott Thompson is a significant and internationally recognized composer of computer music with more than 50 works composed since 1981. Elemental Folklore is a full-length CD collection of major computer music works composed and recorded from 1994 to 1997. Including 10 tracks of innovative and stunning computer generated and processed sounds, the disc is nearly 70 minutes in duration. 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. Several of the works presented here have received international premieres at significant festivals and have been selected in international competition. |

| This disc features the awarded works, RuST and Elemental Folklore together with a number of other significant computer music works. Each work is carefully structured and composed using state-of-the-art methods and techniques. RST never loses sight of the musical imperitives of his work and Elemental Folklore is a recording of beauty and innovation. The music on this disc was composed and recorded from 1996 to 1998 |
| "Elemental Folklore" is a delightful CD of experiMENTAL computer music from Dr. Robert Scott Thompson. This seemingly unstructured collection of sounds and music floats and roars at listeners from many different angles. This is NOT ambient music in the classic sense. It IS ambient in the avant-garde sense. Robert stretches the limits of musical conservatism. He reaches for brass rings that were not there. When he reaches, they appear and he grabs them! Robert has created an edge and has gone over that edge. This music provokes and challenges at all levels. That qualifies this experiment as a success! (Jim Brenholts, 2000) |
