Numena (1987) is an album by the American ambient musician Robert Rich. This is the most active solo album Rich had released by this time. It features the use of a variety of acoustic percussion instruments and just intonation for the first time in Rich’s career.

The longest and most complicated track on the album is a piece called “The Other Side of Twilight”. It consists of two movements, each with a different gamelan inspired electronic sequence and natural ambience.

This is also the first Robert Rich album to be originally released on compact disc. In 1997 Numena was bound in a two disc set with the album Geometry.

Note

Prior to the release of this album a shorter alternate version of “The Other Side of Twilight” was broadcast on the National Public Radio program Music from the Hearts of Space.
