Piano Sonata One -- the Mexican Sonata

Dedicated to Ralph who passed away last year during the RPM month of February,, The slower middle section…
Second movment,, perhaps a little rough,, comments welcome,,, 6/11 Third mov is now done,,, and very very different from the first two,, scares me a little

Hi Richard, keeping the peace in space is all guitar and percussion. I used guitar effects quite liberally on Brian's, Norm's and my parts. The opening is Brian stretched to 8x and the organ-like part in the last 3rd is Brian's guitar backwards in part and the the 2 chord set copied and pasted a few times.

Barry Morse organized a fantastic multimedia Happening for John Cage’s 100th birthday at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Krannert Art Museum. I took time lapse video and recorded audio from my vantage point. Presented here was a moment…
The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
I just bought a new Gibson SG Standard guitar with P90 pickups. I bought it after listening to Steve Krell's Gibson Gold Top with P90's.
Here is my first recording with the guitar.
Lyrics:
Sitting in my living room
Sunlight will be fading…
I got a new amplifier and instead of doing what I should have been doing I did this. It gets a little crazy in the middle and its microtonal so the vocals are gonna sound out - but I enjoyed it. Yeah, those be drum loops. 15 notes per octave.
who among us is to say, just exactly what we should have been doing?,,,, this is a bit,,, like a stretched out canvas,,, nice,, and here's to what happens when we should be doing other things r
Another lyrically-challenged collaboration with jip1965, who sent me a guitar, bongo, percussion track with a recorder playing named, simply, 'Love'.
I added the piccolo, crystals and windchimes from my virtual keyboard, renamed it 'What is…
fun and yes very fun,, i was listening to a radio story last week, about the times when "well known" people met,,, Elvis did meet the Beatles,,, apparently he and his minders did not even know which was which, they just said things like hey you beetle etc,,,, nicely put reg..eur elvis
Well if it was a dream Reg would have met his wife on the Dance floor but as it was'nt he met her at the Bar ...of course.....and if Reg was a musician instead of a singer it may have been in time too......

Reverie by Claude Debussy arranged for piano, violins, and violas.
Reverie may refer to:
A daydream
A dreamy state of mind.
reverie, an instrumental composition of a vague and dreamy character
“Rêverie”, a solo piano piece by Claude Debussy
nice on a late friday night, or indeed any time,, love the photo you show, as i often do,, very evocative,,, both the piece and photo carry such emotion,, well done r, ps the chair/lounge that fellow is reclining in is to die for
I've been trying to put another one of Mike's poems to music, but not getting anywhere.
Then jip threw this music at me, saying he hated it and asking if I could do anything with it. Pieces of Mike's poem went in and I sent it back to jip with…
Well Reg got to thinking about his Hippie past and that its nearly time to go mushroom picking again before that first frost............i had nothing to do with it by the way....i'm innocent your honor ......Honest "Guv"....

back when I could access usenet still I made a newsgroup for amateur musicians and there was a nice group of 20-30 people who contributed and listened to each other's work. There was a woman named Emma who did a killer…
A cool mixture of MIDI and conventional instruments.
Slide guitar courtesy of my trusty Zippo lighter.
There is no better lighter / slide :) Buy one, it could save your life.
For M.T.
Enjoy!
Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…

Really lovely. I feel like the musical equivalent of a caveman with a tuned stick when I hear real musicians like you perform!
Nice! - I like how it turns into a prog rock piece almost about 1:40 ish
What beautiful melodies!
Oh, and what a beautiful direction it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, brilliant! sounds like 4 movements-in-one, and the progression is so well balanced and arranged, it's almost "invisible" - bravo!
dis is da bomb.
1 min 40 so pretty, love that. Most attractive and delightful music. Thanks.
I would love to listen to this while visiting an art gallery. Excellent work man. Don't ever doubt yourself.
strong, excellent
Oh...I think you DO know what the heck you're doing. Agree with Vaisvil - this is beautiful...sublime.
Actually, if you wanted, I could try a treatment like Keeping the Peace in Space on one of your piano pieces, if you'd like.
Hi Richard, keeping the peace in space is all guitar and percussion. I used guitar effects quite liberally on Brian's, Norm's and my parts. The opening is Brian stretched to 8x and the organ-like part in the last 3rd is Brian's guitar backwards in part and the the 2 chord set copied and pasted a few times.
this is beautiful and moving. I wish I could play piano this well. Awesome work Richard!
Rough or not, it's beautiful. Sounds like you DO know what the heck you're doing :) w;-)
THIS is what i call well played...i play piano based on my ears, man i never studied musical theory and stuff...beautiful song, enjoyed a lot, very good album, congratulations
