Just a hint of the original melody, and the cascading notes in the middle, it's a different take on a classic and that's good. Thanks for not putting the rain sound fx in!
This is perfection. Thanks for sharing.
oh yea..I watched Quest For Fire again. I had forgotten most of it. I especially like the new friend they made...if ya know what I mean? Nudge nudge..wink wink. hehe. Just thinking about Rae Dawn Chong..sigh. She is the daughter of Chong of Cheech and Chong Fame.

warning!!! this is a long 10+ min instrumental
It's a piece about 4 years old that was my first attempt at using synth voices,, I am still looking for a good one,, if anyone knows.
The music itself is a tone poem, loosely dedicated to a children…
You are right on the money that I have a lot of fun coming up with my songs! Thanks for your listens and checking out my back catalog!
This song builds really nicely. It's very full and rich. I wish I could compose longer songs like this. I get tired of musical ideas really quickly and always want to move on to the next one! This would be great in a movie soundtrack. There is some slight hissing going on but nothing terribly distracting. Excellent work here!

Well, since I have not used MOTU SI I can't compare but you can since you can hear my Kontakt 4 sample set. Sonar 8.5 was / is a radical upgrade if you write more than classical music. But if one were strictly classical composition minded a better (rational!) program than Sonar to score with would make more sense to invest in than sonar 8.5 . I look forward to hearing what you are working on!

very cool and interesting piece,, i had the fortunate experience of spending 8 days in a remote and protected area 300 miles off cabo san lucas,, baja mexico,,, on all the dives i was in the water with humpback whales,,, their songs are amazing,,, mesmerizing,,, on one dive i was alone about 90 feet down on a ridge and they were so loud the water and i were vibrating!!!,,, i have to ask (though probably silly) have you seen the movie quest for fire??? if not i recommend it...on a final note i teach/practice fire by friction using indigenous stuff.. anyway thanks for the great piece... Richard
I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be in the water while the whales were singing. Amazing the vibrations don't damage other animals. I have seen Quest For Fire..thanks for reminding me actually, I wanna see it again. Wasn't Darryl Hannah in that? \
And..you teach making fires? That's a different job! heh. How many different ways are there to start one?

This is a blues riff I've been playing with for a while. I wanted to start with a slow style blues. I'm working on a sped up dance version. So I threw down some rough lyrics and did a quick demo recording, added a solo and a small vocal backup…
"hang on to your hopes my friend",,, what a great line, in such a powerfully personal tune,, from where did such musical genius rise,, ive listened to this several times now,, your take is highly artistic,, a very beautiful take on a beautiful song well well done Richard
Norm has been teaching a master's class in percussion and gave me (a lot!!) of guidance to try to add bass properly to this. I added 5 string bass, Fender Mustang and GR-20 sax to his excellent Tumbao track. We hope you enjoy it.
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.

i always know i can fave one of your beats,,, even before i hear it.... there always that cool/interesting,, and thanks for the write ups you often do .. very nice
Music & Vocals by Holger Bremer
Lyrics: Johnny Ace Williams
Arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
======================================
This song was written and performed by Holger Bremer. My only role in it was the mix and master…
A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…
very cool,, two or three or how many congas? some of it sounds like beats on the out side of the skin and some from the center,, im trying to picture the technique,,, have you ever made a video of your play?? i think it would be fun to watch,,, well hit R
Reg took a collaboration from Chris Vaisvil, Norm and threw it into the cellar last night and this is what was returned through Regs door this morning...... a tale from the old wild west.........................
This is about the free spirit soaring high above the seas, forests, cities and times.
~There is no dark side in the moon, really. As a matter of fact it's all dark~
wonderful playing,,,the first piano part is particularly well constructed, recording or midi? the sound is great, the synth/electric organ? adds a very different sound style,,, also very nice, i think if it was me, i might have made them into 2 different pieces,, (but that's me) id love to hear your thinking on this creative decision... take care Richard
yes touching and beautiful,,,you do great justice,, to what is one of my most favorite songs,,, the song it self is such a wonderful combination of music and lyrics,,, your style/treatment is very fine..

This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…

Comments on richardlaceves's stuff
neat-o!
Just a hint of the original melody, and the cascading notes in the middle, it's a different take on a classic and that's good. Thanks for not putting the rain sound fx in!
I love them too, and this is a cracking cover! Wonderful piano!
Excellent! Great take on a classic!
Richard, this is such a BEAUTIFUL cover! WELL done! w;-)

Love the "New Age" instrumental style. Very pretty. johnbee
Very well done.
Aengus is all Ethno 2.
This is brilliant! Would you consider doing a collaboration sometime?
Beautifully done mate excellent piano. Top job mate.
Downloaded at 18 secs. Just like the first Doors cover I heard from you, its unique enough to almost not be a cover at all - I like that.
thank you, very nice playing
