Urdu was an Experimental Pop Music Group that formed in California , USA in 1983 . It was a trio consisting of Ambient musician and multi instrumentalist Robert Rich , guitarist Rick Davies and bassist Andrew McGowan. This group marked the culmination of a five year period of experimental collaborations between Rich and Davies. Davies once described Urdu’s style as “loud, angular glurp music”, “glurp” being a term used by Rich to describe his vocabulary of seemingly organic sounds. They performed several concerts in the San Francisco Bay Area . One of their last performances as Urdu was a live radio broadcast in 1984 . Some of their accumulated recordings were released as a self-titled cassette album the following year. In the years that followed, Rich received increased attention for his solo ambient work. In 1992 Robert Rich and Andrew McGowan formed a quartet called Amoeba . In 1994 Robert Rich and Rick Davies formed a second version of Amoeba. DISCOGRAPHY |
