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.

wow... lovely.....how very romantic...who amongst us has not known that feeling,,,your song is so poetic,,, who ever she is she's a lucky lady..... well well played
From last February...
I'm not sure where I'm going - its late - I'm tired so I may be out of my mind.
several absynths
pianoteq heavily modified
session 3 drums through guitar rig
stratocastor through guitar rig
vocoded voice via korg ms2000…
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
every time you show yourself

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.
yelyah - “solo piano 20100411” semi live improv
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

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
