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.

We walled ourselves in apartments and rooms away from each other. Random thoughts and mundane life was grinding us to a halt inside. Some days, we were tyrants, and some days we were saints.
Naively conceived, written and published in February 2012 for "Contemporary Chamber Music" (vol.1), an RPM12 album.

I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…

When I was a music major one of my friends had a family which ran a funeral home - a well paid profession seeing that they had several cars, maids and butlers - and spent a few nights there. (We tended to stay up to the early am debating…
Chris,, thanks for the listen,, this is very cool,, sounds like several layers of musical movement,, sort of like when sine waves of different period overlap,,, very nice
The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.
very nice, and one of my favorites,, there's a classic and wonderful piano variation of this, that i use as one of my practice/demo/personal feel good pieces,, i like your take on this,, well done
March, the beginning of spring. We have snow, frost and wind. Hope dies last. Or: don't dies at all *(underline your choice)*

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest:

Just a simple Blues, I'm not a harp player, but I did the best I could, puffed me out !!! Oh yeh don't tell my mate Dave. He plays the harp on all my songs & he'll have guts for garters if he finds out !!!
Time for a noodle in the middle of the house move...packing....dumping......sorting...reminiscing..... still waiting to exchange contracts and mean't to be moving Friday....a little stressed
very excellent,,, once a long time ago, when i lived in Del Rio i built a 6" newtonian,, at night i used to go down to the end of the road,,then on to the dirt and set up,,, with a dark sky from horizon to horizon,,,, wowieee,, Orion has always been a treat,, if you have a scope or even binoculars,, the sword contains one of the best of all treats to see,,, this is a really nice piece,, im on #7 for my rpm....
I purchased a new M-Audio midi keyboard during RPM. The software alone was worth the $100.
There was no chance I was wasting any time during RPM with a learning process.
Today, I got the opportunity to install the software and plug it in. This…
indeed,,i myself have and have used a m-audio keyboard,,(though i now use a yamaha) you have a fine tone/feel to this piece,, like this very much,, i also look forward to hearing more,,
Apocrypha is a progressive rock song in the sense of Rush more than ELP or Yes. I had come up with the guitar and via my GR-20 the strings - everything else you hear was performed by my long time collaborator Frank Miller (Phantasm777) - so that…
like this very much,, kind of a bummer in sentiment,, but then again,, it kind of find it fits,, thank goodness for the net, at least i can look up apocrypha
Comments on richardlaceves's stuff
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.

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

My, that's stirring stuff. How beautifully played.
