Art of Love #1
these are my piano moment pieces arranged for other instruments, hence the name,, in a way it's kind of interesting to use one piece of work in more than one way ,,, Richard
and yes this version was put up 1st about 4 months…

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

As always it evokes emotion. Something about your works always draw me in...I feel you see the music before you play...some inner feeling draws you to the notes you play. I am just stunned...I wish I could play piano like this...so free...not having to worry about where the keys are....your work always amazes me...I am a fan. I thing you and Kavin need to team up on a breaking light feat. Richard side project...his work does the same thing. Have to FAV this one.

Are you sure they are not the ice in the glass vibrating on top of the piano. Just a thought!
Oh, it's gone .....
Well, it was so lovely while it lasted!
This is the first time I picked up and tried to play a guitar that is in 88 cent equal temperament - the tuning does not contain an octave. Since this was the first time I made some mistakes. Nonetheless I think it sounds interesting.
beautiful song that captures one of those special moments that find us,, touch us with the magic of family,, well played,, i have missed hearing your music of late Richard

really cool song,, missed it somehow,, but saw Kirk's comment,, and followed the trail,, your lyrics are really good, and the musical parts are very fine,, well done
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…
After Creation is an entry into the Vox Novus 15 Minutes of Fame competition for flute and marimba duet. Unfortunately the entry was not accepted for performance but undeterred I present to you a performance of the score rendered by Garritan…
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.
he's not blown away like a stray star
he's not stolen clean away by a fast car
but…
interesting piece,, i found it drawing me in not by note,, very Bach like in form/feel,, you say improv, is it in fact based on another piece?... in any event it's very pretty.. and does seem very Easterish to me,,, well done your friend R
I thought a microtonal piece almost completely in absynth would be a decent goal. So, I improvised bass, lead, chords, effects in 19 notes per octave against a sequence of drum loops run through effects. Then - just to see the difference I took…
interesting listen,,, very different,, im enjoying this not because it's the typical stuff, but rather because once again you are leading me off into musical directions that are new.. thanks R
Reg is in the cellar, it's early morning he is back in what seems the inevitable empty bar. To the Barman Reg sings his sad song ........................
i really like the musical underpinnings of this,, this piece has a rich full feeling,, another great story line,, like ive mentioned before, i think your a great story/word smith,,, very nice
you definitely have a new fan here,, well played,composed music all around,, if you have any videos of you preforming, id be neat to post them here,, ps gota love those guitar riffs cheers Richard
This is a short piece written for a friend who is developing a computer game for his degree. It needed to be loopable, hence the abrupt start and finish! Still a work in progress so i'd appreciate any comments about making it better
let see if i can contain myself and say this in a reserved British manner
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowieeeeeee!!
guess i can't
anyway a most amazing piece of music,, it's well written,, well,, performed,well mixed wonderful sound quality,, on my second listen,, the lyric quality/style storyline is great,, it's one of those pieces that though is fresh and new, already seems to have a classic feel.. well played

This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…
Chris, pretty nice, nice deep mellow sound on the bass,,,,the voice is also pretty good, i think i like it better than that of symphonic instruments,,,but i have not found myself doing well, ever, when trying to work with solo voice,,, i enjoyed this R
Comments on richardlaceves's stuff
Pretty!
...drops, slightly at first, then more; in no particular order, by themselves...
Both very good.
This is beautiful! I love the bluesy feel. Would it be ok if I try to add to this?
very nice.
Beautiful Richard!
Todays music is tomorrows classic. Beautiful piece, wonderfully played.
Mmmm, turn the lights down! Curl up on the sofa and drink in these beautiful sounds.
Chilling.......
What a pro player....very impressive performance.
That's beautiful Richard, very well played mate.
Fireflies in the night...perfect. Loving your light touch - this is heartbreakingly tender.
lovely, I am assuming these moments are original compositions. I shall have to sit a while and listen........
Excellent, your piano moments are great and really remind me of my own 'moments' when I sit down to compose.
Excellent!
Lovely piece! Pity about the crackly noises, though. I'm really enjoying your Piano Moments, Richard. Looking forward to more.
As always it evokes emotion. Something about your works always draw me in...I feel you see the music before you play...some inner feeling draws you to the notes you play.

and a lovely romance it was.
that's very nice to hear. d minor and g minor are both good friends of mine :)
