Hi Richard, the tuning I used for the Magic of Belief has much more than major or minor and I used almost all of the. The opening plays with the chords CDG, CEbG CEb^G (a "neutral" third about half way between minor and major) and CEG (except the E is a purer 3rd than 12 equal)
The main motive bottoms out at what my ears are telling me is a neutral interval against a D neutral chord (but I'm not 100% sure, I didn't work it out - could be D minor)

Richard, I have enjoyed every second of your magical journey through midi. It has been utter bliss to hear all of them together.
Congratulations on a superb album.
Cheers Bee

Hi folks,
It's good to back after RPM and the blackout of 2010.
A couple firsts here. I recorded this 100% with the computer. I never plugged in to a computer before.
I've always used a Roland VS machine and burnt my
songs/tracks to SCSI…
A quick little tune written in appreciation of a small expression of contentedness.
I can see in that little smile
You're living for the moment
Every once in a little while I catch it
No one else could match it
You're more than meets the eye
Figure Out- There are about 4-5 takes of this song, all different. The song started off in the key of D, but I couldn’t hit the notes in the chorus. I then tried it in A, but it was lacking drive and energy. I tried it in G, but I couldn’t get…
the sun rises every morning
i hear those feet upon the floor
im pretty sure that you are beside me
everythings the same as it was before
our son jumps in bed and lys between us
holds us together as the light drifts in
you are the flower of my…
This is a new song that started as a guitar pick, then got some words. I finally recorded this. It has 3 parts. Nylon guitar, Electric and voice. This is part of the "human racing" series I am working on.
Matter is surprising

Very Interesting...not many folks mix music, and it is very nice music, with a take on science,,, how did you come to do this by the way?? myself, in my other life (occupation) i am a physicists myself,, though i deal with the earth as in earthquake problems,,, i never though to do a science song myself,,, very novel,, the music is a pretty setting to discuss such topics.....it reminds me a tiny bit of a moody blues type subject... by the way are you a fan of Arthur Clark??.... such a long note, guess i got carried away as i listen to the waves
This is my most angry song.
Sodom And Gamorrah
(c)2010 Terry A. Beckett
How many times have we seen it?
Headline the evening news.
How many faces have been featured
While the tabloids expose the ruse?
How many sweet young things
Have tried…
Interesting song,,most folks don't take such a strong political stance in their music,, ,, reminds me a bit of the way woody guthries used to make social commentary in his music,,though more rockish, great guitar playing by the way... i like it
Poured myself a small cup of acoustic guitar, half finger picking, half ebow. Nothing fancy, nothing magical, nothing fantastical, just something to relax through.

That was beautiful Richard !
Very cool.
Just great. How are you doing this? You must ave some great hardware and software. Awesome to say the least.
Lovely orchestral piece!
This is a beautiful piece!!

Stopped back for another listen.
Taceant ad preces motum heri an ..?
~... Así, como el eco pasado~
The pipes and the little Latin flourishes in the melody reminds my of Ennio Morocone. Only slightly though because it also sounds very unique :)
Missed this one too? What? How beautiful! Richard, you have a beautiful gift. w;-)
How did I miss this?! Gorgeous! w;-)
Welcome back, richard. And again, many thanks for your kind words. And yes, you are right about the strings/piano/percs blend.
I love this piece. There's something very special about it.
Overture indeed! Bravo!
This is a masterpiece!
Oh my, this is gorgeous!
Missed this one somehow. Gorgeous as always!
Richard, I have enjoyed every second of your magical journey through midi. It has been utter bliss to hear all of them together. Congratulations on a superb album. Cheers Bee
beautiful work here, Richard!

what sort of recording are you doing midi? with a synth software? if so what are you using?
it's nice to hear some more piano on the site
Nice
Well played Colin
nice computer sound,, what program do you use?
Interesting instrumental,, seems to be based on a few simple notes (meaning good) with a few minor variataions, good background music
Very nice, pleasant like being touched by a beam of warm sunlight
wait a minute before i could get off to your site this next one started up...you have a great feel to this music
Very cool,, im gona check out your site now!!
Very nice Mr. Fox, nice guitar, synth/organ?, drum mix
nice tune,, "sometimes it rains so hard between us" great use of analogy and picture building with your word
Interesting take on the old tune, with a little newness added,, you have a smooth voice
final comment the music stops about 8:10 into the piece though the track goes on till 8:58

Nice romantic rock ballad
Nice instrumental mix
a song of airiness and quietude, the last 30 seconds or so seem to be either drawn out or very quiet or lost?
gentle flow,,, pretty in a soft relaxing way
Kind of reminds me of the way ripples move out from a stone dropped in water,,very nice
