Just a note to all my fellow AToners,, back up, back up,, back up,, i just spent 5 days working with a down pc, i did have everything backed up but it was a bit scary,, and if anyone has issues with sonar and motu products,,i might have some hard earned help if you ever need it,, take care all and BACK UP everyday R

As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments: This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.

Loved this. Thanks for the trip. Also thanks for the comment on Call Me Crazy. I've had alot of computer issues the last few weeks and haven't been able to be part of this wonderful music community. Glad to have a moment to enjoy it. You're quite the composer, sir. Would love to collaborate on something sometime, if that would interest you. I don't just do country, by the way.

A lovely performance Richard.

Beautiful piano playing! Those piano notes definitely sound like rain drops!

beautiful first movement of your piano sonata Richard

Stunningly beautiful!! Especially that middle section

Awesome.

Breath-taking!

Beautiful Richard very nicely played, really cool.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! w;-)

Beautiful!! In composition and execution.

...VERY nice work here. Thanks for taking the time to listen!

...beautiful.

More Doors! *Excellent*

The wind of perfection blows in your direction Richard. This is real graceful.

very pleasant composition, and a great orchestation. although choirs might lack a bit of depth, mostly in the graves, there is really nothing wrong with those you've used..

Try Soundsonline.com with Quantum Leap East West Programs, they will blow your mind. They are mostly orchestral stuff, and realistic instruments outside synth, but i think there are plenty of synth things on the same site. if i did catch your question correctly hopefully i answered that same question.

Totally gorgeous!

really fine,, such a great mix of tones, at times it sounds like violin, a times im not sure what,, but it's very cool

masterpiece! what more can i say,,, i love the way your beautiful musical textures weave and fold about each other, i was listening to some of your music while i was cooking dinner tonight,, what a gift,, while i guess there was more i could say..

excellent! the music is wonderful and the story/picture you tell/paint is soo good, this is both audio and visual to the max,, well played r

indeed,, the story goes on, i look forward to hearing more

ok i see now you have only put up four tracks,, when can we expect more? excellent! a lovely sweet piece

Buck, ive gotta say, im asking myself, how have i missed your music for so long? this and alllll your pieces and playing are quite beautiful!! you have a great feel in your fingers as they play with the stings,, wow a new fellow to follow,, looking forward to wandering through all your music r

yes quite nice, and wonderful playing

Most Excellent! warm feeling indeed,,, ps i use sonar with motu and garratian for plugins r

wow! quite fine,, i also spend a fair amount of time outside looking up.. last week i was able to get my best ever red tailed hawk photos,, it's cool we have something else in common in addition to music,, very very nice r

well it's been a while my friend,, this is quite nice! a bit contemplative yes?

and Chris i ment YOUR Doing Great,, sometimes my fingers and the keyboard don't quite line up

the second theme at about 1:40 is lovely, and i like the way it changes at about 3:10 or so, sort of climbing out into a different plain,, very pretty riffs in the 5 min and on, i like it when you break away from the cord structure to individual keys/notes,,,, at times through this i can hear the slight pauses where it seems like your thinking/planing what direction to take,, OUR DOING GREAT! it's a fun musical journey and im happy to be along... you have a lot of really nice small themes in this,, excellent! oh and by the way for many years i played on a churches concert steinway,, loved it, especially because most churches have such a lovely sound scape to make music in , not to mention the also wonderful light that typically filters in,, ah a small bit of heaven (guess that makes sense though) well anyway excellent Chris

what fun!

fery nice, great playing,the pedal effect is cool

well a little tuba is always can always be appreciated,,, most excellent!

again most excellent! your music sounds like your having some fun!

wow what a nice piano riff and ghostly for sure

pretty indeed!

wooow! very cool, your arrangement is great! if you should see some old, hairless guy with a keyboard chasing you on this train,, that would be me ,, well done

a bit pizzicato, a bit staccato,, a bit dramatic as you say,, and way way cool! excellent!
