A song that came to me when I was fishing in the rain with some of my Mamainde buddies. The Mamainde is a small endangered Amazonian tribe of 230 people in west-central Brazil. This song attempts to tell their story…
Poor old Reg is feeling a bit insignificant after being unseen by a woman he liked the look of who turned out to be only interested in the material things she could get.....it's a shame but there seems to be a lot of them out there and Love doesn…

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?

I love your long productions... this one is a bit un-nerving.
Perfect listen for what I am doing today. Quite an impressive effort producing a piece of this magnitude. Thanks!
Awesome!
Nice demonstration of the glissando technique on the conga drum.
If I close my eyes I am almost at the SoHo Lounge...
Excellent!
Great to hear some more stuff from you!
Lovely clave pattern on the snare(?). Great song.
You guys are excellent.
Sounds just like Tamer Hosny.

You are a high-roller, Reg. Great stuff!
Lots of great imagery and space created with this!
Beautiful!
Dreamy!
A happy ending Reg?
Dreamy chorus.
Strong work, team! Love the keys.
9/10 "in tune".
Merry Christmas Reg.
