So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…

Naively conceived, written and published in February 2012 for "Contemporary Chamber Music" (vol.1), an RPM12 album.
The titles of the pieces in album are follow each other in a certain order - see album description.
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
I'm on ice, I'm afraid to go on.
It seems fragile, but I have to go,
I have to go through it.
I had to.

The chorus of this groove is in 5/4 and the verse in 9/4. You can hear me fall apart at the very end… guess I got worried.

nice fingers!!! what more can one keyboard player say to another? i sit i listen,, i imagine, ( i must say i, have always assumed you to be one)i move my fingers/hand in anticipation, a digital ghost following along with you work,,,, very nice
if i were wearing a hat i would take it off, if i were standing i would bow,,, to you to the music, to the feeling you entice/bring forth in this piece the disadence is interesting, it does seem to end a bit abruptly? yes/no would like to hear you thoughts..... must ask are you a keith jeret fan? very well done r
This is a beautiful song from Joni Mitchell. My friend had his 50th birthday and this was my gift, I played it live at his party and recorded it later (4-2-2011)in my livingroom.
It's one take, can't mis that if you listen to it all the way…
Not sure where I was going with this, but it ended up quite dreary for what I thought were quite motivating lyrics.
Watch this space, it may well appear again with more upbeat music.

yes quite a curious piece,,, a very very evocative work, i like this,,, i think it is a piece that passes into the a world that is perhaps not best described in musical terms but rather in terms of colors or emotions or temperatures or ...im truly not sure how to express what i want to about this,, except well done of course, and keep it up,,, r
I heard a story in the title so here it is with the excellent guitar by Jim Movement with contact ....hope you enjoy......

amazingly beautiful piece,, you have a wonderful touch here, must ask,, i assume some form of synth piano (not audio) am i correct? if so what?,, i love the clear, like a mountain pool, sound of this recording,,
a really very nice colab, i think it's interesting in that on the one hand it's simple in from, and on the other it projects it self to a lot of depth,,, i suppose minimilist is a way to describe it? whatever,, i like it
Fantasy for Piano in 25 Note per Octave Tuning is a short piece I composed in Sibelius 7 using Pianoteq 4 in 25 note per octave (edo) tuning. This composition was created per a request in the Xenharmonic Alliance as a response to my piece in…

I can see him at your feet as you work on this. They feel what we are thinking.
Quite lovely. The guitar textures are nice.
Exceptional piece Richard. I'm going to listen like 4 times and then save it.
I think your on a whole new level and it's sharp, skillful and really polished.
The songs that just spring out are what is best in RPM. - Nice track Richard.
Dreamy -
Brilliant piece mate really enjoyed this.
It rains in California? .....I enjoyed the journey on this the way the giutar slips into and out of the keys a great job
This is gorgeous!
Richard, you had my heart after reading your description. May Howie live a wonderful life in his senior years. As for the track, it's beautiful! w;-)
Impressionistic, creating an interesting, melancholic atmosphere.
Every piece that you post just stops me in my tracks. Beautiful Richard !!!

Long live Howie !
Richard, that's quite a challenge! This is wonderful! w;-)
