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 starts at essentially the same improvisation pattern and then travels elsewhere - I think I like the Martin version better myself. This one is in stereo.
ok this one playes for me,,,haven't heard the martin one yet,, but this is very nice,,, i know how multi talented you are,, but there's just something about hearing you playing on a solo guitar,, that just stands out so profoundly... this is great,,,,well well played
Just an improvisation for ImprovFriday - recorded on my Zoom H2 in the expensive acoustic guitar room at my local guitar center.
I had to switch to mono because I had the zoom too sensitive and created a series of pops on one channel. This…
One more to go and I'm slapping them together.
This is 3 layered drum loops. Some dupes and some play along.
I've managed to grow a huge beard this RPM.
I think I'm starting to look like Gandolf. :)
well hey there Gandolf's not a bad person to look like, at least as far as im concerned,,, this is very nice,,,, is that a mandolin or slide playing the lead? fine playing
Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
the music adds a dimension to the reading that is very powerful,,, it's neat the way they balance together so well, neither over powering or detracting from the other,, this is sort of like a collage of sound,, well done
So one too many coffee's and I have insomnia, I decided to mess about with my prototype sequencer Rytme and one of the Logic piano presets (Piano Motion).
I came up with this piece (in the key of A Major) which is rather repetitive (a quality…
very fine,,, i was going to make some comment about bit of a time warp,, but,,, forget that!! this is a really great sound in the here and now,, you have created a really cool ambience
A live studio take,made in San Francisco's "Different Fur Studio"deep in the heart of the "mission district"..a live audience made it a lot of fun!2010
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…
very nice,, the instruments all sound very fine,, the cello part is very soft, not really for me to say but perhaps the cello, which is a rich mellow deep string could be a tad louder,, it's rich low sound is a great compliment to the high twang of the banjo,,,however the song is wonderful as is,, take care r

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!

If I played piano I'd want to sound like this!
These are all so gorgeous!
Revisiting this track. I get misty eyed listening. So peaceful. I'm floating...w;-)
