one cool thing about piano pieces is that they lend themselves to being rearranged for other instruments, since the piano encompasses the entire range,,, this is a pared down version of my last weeks submission le baiser apres-midi = the afternoon…

You asked the other day about the story behind Sleeping With The Ghost - I've been wracking my brains to remember what caused it.
It's pretty much out of my head, and I was exploring the break-up of my first marriage - although I'm not sure I actually knew it was breaking up at the time I wrote it!
I think the imagery came from a children's program on UK TV when I was younger? I think it might have been called The Mandeville Ghost, or something like that, anyway. There is a ghost of "Sir Geoffrey of Mandeville" documented - contains nothing like this though.
Also, the legend behind the plot in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" had a quite a bit to do with the pictures in my head when I was writing it.

oooo, very nice. I liked the original, and the flute addition is wonderful (for some reason the sound of a flute takes me nearer to "an afternoon kiss" than just piano alone does).

Frozen eyes....
and like the wail of a crying child...
she grieves for what is lost to her...
finding solace in a shared moment....
she absently brushes the thought away....
there is no beauty in the sky....
or warmth on her face…
Celebrating my 1 yr. on this site. This just came out of the blue. Nothing planned here.
Thanks to all of you for your support and listening ears!
Cheers -
simply beautiful,, sometimes those that just appear of their own accord can be the most amazing,, on a tech note is this only recorded in mono? i was listening, and then switched headphones but still only have mono,, love the flurrishes after the 4 min mark,,,, always a fun way to add a bit of drama,, well done,, richard
This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.
The haikus were written for a creativity group I'm in, so I used them for…
Here we go, a tender little rocker from the broom-cupboard...

I thought I'd uploaded this ages ago!
Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox
P.S. I knew I'd seen it on here somewhere - it was uploaded by Jip under Third Quarter of the Moon :)

Alive
For the first time I see

At once, Arise
Before
All was in sight
As light took up less space in our minds
For now, Again
Buried…

I was :-) Everyone needs a song in the wholetone scale
Hi Richard, no I didn't stay up for that. I was too busy playing with my soft synths :-) This is a beautiful piece.
A deep listen - darkness/sadness mix, one for the collection, love it!!
Wonderful playing.......
A thing of beauty never dies, this will live forever.
Has a Final Fantasy kind of feel to it. Love it!
Amazing.
Really beautiful, RL
Very lovely... Have come to expect nothing less from you.
Ahh, more like coral and underwater plants. So peaceful, beautifully done.
Beautiful mate.
More beauty.
