Stunningly beautiful...
I wish I listened to these in order now....
You write a real journey bro!
A storey I want to hear!
The way you condense each section into easily digestible parts is a fine skill!
Every change comes at just the right point to my ears....
Love it!
Широко, задумчиво, и конечно, в одном стиле. Я работаю в двух направлениях: этническом и эстрадном. Есть группа музыкантов, с которыми мы пишем аранжировки. Записи с концертов есть на youtube. Спасибо за ваши комментарии!!!)))
The long sustain on the piano and the Moorish progressions do give this a "warm desert" feel, very contemplative and soothing. The flute accompaniment was a nice touch... I'd love to meet the flute player, she has quite a set of lungs (smirk)... those are some long un-interrupted passages of notes... that, plus the quiet beauty of this kept me holding my breath. Nice!

Great cover! Manzarek had the ability to hold down the bass line (the Doors didn't have a bassist) and do those wonderful Bach-ish runs simultaneously. You've got that going on here too.
This is a great version, and I really enjoyed it! It's quit uncanny, but I just recently listened to Robby Krieger's "Versions", in which he covered his band's song as well. JM is great, but for some reason I always loved this one as an instrumental.
Very good piano playing, my friend!
This is the first time I picked up and tried to play a guitar that is in 88 cent equal temperament - the tuning does not contain an octave. Since this was the first time I made some mistakes. Nonetheless I think it sounds interesting.
beautiful song that captures one of those special moments that find us,, touch us with the magic of family,, well played,, i have missed hearing your music of late Richard

really cool song,, missed it somehow,, but saw Kirk's comment,, and followed the trail,, your lyrics are really good, and the musical parts are very fine,, well done
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…
After Creation is an entry into the Vox Novus 15 Minutes of Fame competition for flute and marimba duet. Unfortunately the entry was not accepted for performance but undeterred I present to you a performance of the score rendered by Garritan…
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.
he's not blown away like a stray star
he's not stolen clean away by a fast car
but…
interesting piece,, i found it drawing me in not by note,, very Bach like in form/feel,, you say improv, is it in fact based on another piece?... in any event it's very pretty.. and does seem very Easterish to me,,, well done your friend R
I thought a microtonal piece almost completely in absynth would be a decent goal. So, I improvised bass, lead, chords, effects in 19 notes per octave against a sequence of drum loops run through effects. Then - just to see the difference I took…
interesting listen,,, very different,, im enjoying this not because it's the typical stuff, but rather because once again you are leading me off into musical directions that are new.. thanks R
Reg is in the cellar, it's early morning he is back in what seems the inevitable empty bar. To the Barman Reg sings his sad song ........................
i really like the musical underpinnings of this,, this piece has a rich full feeling,, another great story line,, like ive mentioned before, i think your a great story/word smith,,, very nice
you definitely have a new fan here,, well played,composed music all around,, if you have any videos of you preforming, id be neat to post them here,, ps gota love those guitar riffs cheers Richard
This is a short piece written for a friend who is developing a computer game for his degree. It needed to be loopable, hence the abrupt start and finish! Still a work in progress so i'd appreciate any comments about making it better
let see if i can contain myself and say this in a reserved British manner
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowieeeeeee!!
guess i can't
anyway a most amazing piece of music,, it's well written,, well,, performed,well mixed wonderful sound quality,, on my second listen,, the lyric quality/style storyline is great,, it's one of those pieces that though is fresh and new, already seems to have a classic feel.. well played

This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…
Chris, pretty nice, nice deep mellow sound on the bass,,,,the voice is also pretty good, i think i like it better than that of symphonic instruments,,,but i have not found myself doing well, ever, when trying to work with solo voice,,, i enjoyed this R

Oh dark and glorious! Brilliant!!
Mesmerizing arpeggios... intriguing to hear the melody rise out of it all.
Another flashing chance at bliss...I love The Doors, this is a very creative cover -

Все композиции повествуют (рассказывают) о чём-то жизненном, важном...
Интересный инструментальный дуэт, задумчивый и филосовский...
beautiful!
Quiet,but takes me oh so deep. Beautiful

beautiful.
yes, beautiful! Lovely contemplative feel.
Nice one mate great sound.
I enjoyed this album Richard. Very pleasant. A bit of charm, some class, and some top notch piano playing.
I'm still waiting for a left handed piano. I want the keys to go the other way :)
Gorgeous!
Great cover! Manzarek had the ability to hold down the bass line (the Doors didn't have a bassist) and do those wonderful Bach-ish runs simultaneously. You've got that going on here too.

Nice one mate. Thanks for your comments mate. This is great.
