We have some here Reef..perfect for the scenario outside this morning but not quite enough to build a snowman...excellent as alays Richard a pleasure to listen to........
Gorgeous work!
It totally captures the serenity and beauty of snowfall.
I know what you mean. MTC said to me once that he fancied swapping our weathers.

I use normal tuning, i.e. A = 440Hz on a Boesendorfer 290.
And many thanks for all your great comments. Coming from artists such as yourself, it means a lot.

Richard!
The song seems to be playing here on the site okay for me, so something must be up on your end. As for the RPM site, if you look under "Latest Discussions" halfway down the right side of the page, you should find reference to the Holiday Challenge...
...And if the song won't play for you on Alonetone, you should be able to listen to it in my player.

Easter Sunday,, soft bubbly white clouds float across a pale blue sky,, above a green green field, filled with rows of those who have passed away,,, my mother and father lie in one such.... fresh flowers, quiet, and sometimes not so, words drift…
in a cool darkened lounge
floors above the cityscape
quiet laughter, clink of ice in glass
D min looks into the eyes of G min
a quiet romance begins
sometimes the best things in life are quite simple
(lots of rough sound on this,, not sure…
The music is old but the video i just made,,, on a dive trip to Beqa Island Fiji,, music is a previous version of piano moment #5, of late i have been working on diving and putting existing music to the videos,, hope you like r

From last February...
I'm not sure where I'm going - its late - I'm tired so I may be out of my mind.

impressions
4 min in -- i am feeling/discovering a hugely large sound scape, plenty of places to get lost in ones thoughts amongst the notes
7 Min in --very expansive (what syth is this?, are you creating the long drawn out notes on a keyboard?)
9 min in --- (not being used to writing this style myself) what sort of land marks, for timing, expression are you using/feeling when you do this? how will you know when you get there?
14 min and 1 beer into the work -- still keeps my interest, but i do wonder where we are headed
17 min --- this is definitely a track to listen to, not background ,, i begin to see where we might be headed..
overall interesting,,, i enjoyed this,,,as i have noticed of late you have a lot of multi interests/talents... lots for me to think about thanks R
Dark, moody and a little weird - German indie artist Black Henbanbe with his version of the mother of all English folk songs. Recommended if you like the song, drone low vocals, gothic folk ambience and psychedelic gimmicks.
dark yes,, the off beat timing and use of minors and 6ths ? cloak this old standby in a darker, sadder & less romantic side of English folklore,,, well done very interesting!
For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom!

again after the first 10 seconds a fav!!! magical,, the notes flow me over like a ??
waterfall,, swift brook,,, breeze through the palms?? well well done, there's really no comment i can make that can say how wonderful this piece is,,, acoustical magic
Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.

after the first 10 seconds this became a favorite!! when you say snowed in do you mean literally? if so i hope you get more snow days... the timing and cord structure are effervescent wow great work

This is an improvisation around a few chords I found when experimenting with two simultaneous tunings on my Fender Mustang run through the GR-20 retuned to Arabic 17 note Pythagorean tuning and also as-is through my DoD FX-7
The way this…
In 2006 we visited a Japanese garden. In September of 2009 I wrote this piano piece in 17 ET and I hear a connection between the two. So I put together a video from pictures and video taken of our visit and married the two. Please visit the song…

Sometimes I leave in the fumbling beginnings because they’re amusing to me.
This would be one of those times.

Semi live in that I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but never locked the melody in (as is probably obvious).
Starting out as a simple and awe inspiring invention, progressing to a more chaotic and demanding machine driven future. - people becoming enslaved to these devices. Feeding the machine.

interesting sound scape,,, which i find you often have,,, your music seems to cross that divide from merely hearing into the almost visual,,,,, well sounded/seen

I was hoping for something like this. It's perfect, now if I could only get some snow to fall up in the mountains here tonight...
Beautiful work Richard. A perfect way to close my evening.
It must be lovely to have someone playing the piano so effortlessly around the house. Bee
I keep finding more of these I've not heard. Like all of them it's gorgeous!
