We have some here Reef..perfect for the scenario outside this morning but not quite enough to build a snowman...excellent as alays Richard a pleasure to listen to........
Gorgeous work!
It totally captures the serenity and beauty of snowfall.
I know what you mean. MTC said to me once that he fancied swapping our weathers.

I use normal tuning, i.e. A = 440Hz on a Boesendorfer 290.
And many thanks for all your great comments. Coming from artists such as yourself, it means a lot.

Richard!
The song seems to be playing here on the site okay for me, so something must be up on your end. As for the RPM site, if you look under "Latest Discussions" halfway down the right side of the page, you should find reference to the Holiday Challenge...
...And if the song won't play for you on Alonetone, you should be able to listen to it in my player.

Easter Sunday,, soft bubbly white clouds float across a pale blue sky,, above a green green field, filled with rows of those who have passed away,,, my mother and father lie in one such.... fresh flowers, quiet, and sometimes not so, words drift…
in a cool darkened lounge
floors above the cityscape
quiet laughter, clink of ice in glass
D min looks into the eyes of G min
a quiet romance begins
sometimes the best things in life are quite simple
(lots of rough sound on this,, not sure…
The music is old but the video i just made,,, on a dive trip to Beqa Island Fiji,, music is a previous version of piano moment #5, of late i have been working on diving and putting existing music to the videos,, hope you like r

This song goes all the way back to my roots of writing music mostly on acoustic guitar and recording/playing all the instruments myself. Also my first 'proper' recording in my new studio space. Thanks for listening!

Frank has turned up at Reg's cellar with Louis and the Duke with a tune that Frank is claiming to be about his latest love affair, so naturally Reg switched on his tape recorder........
About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....

nonetheless I'm hopelessly in love with the flatted 5th theme.
Hey Chris,, weither or not you have fallen for the b5th theme,,i think your work here is amazing,,,, i think i have fallen for it,,, i have listened to the other take once, and will listen again,, but this just grabbed me,, well done friend Richard
This tune hopefully shows the culmination of my musical influences (namely, Mick Karn (R.I.P.), Adrian Sherwood, Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble...) while also painting a visual picture...as it was written and recorded in one day after I went free-diving…
yes a fun piece indeed,,eels oh yes,,iv had a few swim around me and over me,, in fact i know a place Cliperton Atoll that is so remote that the ells will swim ou, and approach divers one on one,, they don't do anything bad their just curious ,, nice piece take care Richard
Minamisoma was a city in Japan that was destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami of 3/11/2011. The Angels of Minamisoma is a memorial piece for flute and vibraphone written in free tonality that is driven by melodic and harmonic tendencies that…
really good!!! ,on a second listen right away,,,,,right from the beginning,, it pulls me in,, there's a lot to hear hear, from the background base up this has a great texture,,, this could be a great background piece for a movie type setting,, well played R
your song flows in beauty, with personal, touching tones, i feel like an outsider listening in to a very personal conversation, and then i realize it really applies to us all at one time or another,, perhaps that's the the magic of a beautiful piece of music like yours,, well done Richard

very nice,,, im going to have to come back and watch the video,, in a way it reminds me of the softer side of Michael Hedges, have you ever heard of him? if not i think you would really enjoy looking him up,,,, this is very beautiful!! perhaps we could figure out some sort of piano and guitar colab... though im not sure how that might work with the tunings you use,, but perhaps i can re-tune my yamaha i use for recording,,, or we take care Richard,, and once again well done!!
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
My composition Ediacaran Garden for classical guitar has been selected for performance by Kenji Haba in New York City June 26 2011 as part of the Fifteen Minutes of Fame with Kenji Haba Vox Novus series. A requirement was that the piece not…
This song was inspired by the Life of Pi...and yes, i feel like a drifter at times, floating, going no where.
I've been drifting
i've been drifting for days
going no where
being driven by the waves
driven mad by the wind and her voices…
This evolved out of an exercise in a workbook I just got on music composition. The original task was to write a melody in the Dorian mode about water...

I was hoping for something like this. It's perfect, now if I could only get some snow to fall up in the mountains here tonight...
Beautiful work Richard. A perfect way to close my evening.
It must be lovely to have someone playing the piano so effortlessly around the house. Bee
I keep finding more of these I've not heard. Like all of them it's gorgeous!
