Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.
I posted this song a few days ago and Bethan liked the music so much she wrote her own words. Here it is, a co-write across the Atlantic.
SITTING BY THE WINDOW, NOTHING TO DO
WAITING FOR THE TIME WHEN THE SUN SHINES THROUGH
THE SUN SHINES…

Inspired by the "Metal for Life" Column in the Guitar World Feb 2012 issue, I stuck to the original etude probably only 80% or so and changed the arrangement, plus added an extra solo section in the middle.
wow!,,rather amazing, this is something i had not envisioned before,, like it very much,,you do a splendid job of hitting the right key,,, also,,, thanks for your kind words richard
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…
most lovely ,,,, im not much of a singer myself, but if there are words that call to you why not give it a go,,, then we can all have 2 songs to fav...... the cadence of this is very nice and most comforting ,,, merry mid winter
This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…
Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone
A little bit of pop with a strong 80s touch (I hope).

Different recording here as the electric guitar, bass guitar were not plugged in, just recorded raw with a power mic and then EQ'ed to make it sound amped - pardon mistakes!

I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…
dancing, singing,,, the wind with a smile on it's face as it listens at the door,,, with this and many of your tunes ,, you bring a magic, to the air, well played

Soothing, beautiful piano.... wonderful music

Excellent
Wow mate this is really good. Love it
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 !!!
I can hear that little fellow in this. Wonderul!

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

very nice,, if i could not play the piano (when i grow up) i would like to be a percussionist,, you make it sound soooo good
aaaah improv the freedom to be,, to play, to explore,,, this is a very beautiful journey/study into one of the many musical side streets,,, very fine
very nice, and yes i think it has that bygone era feel/style,, fun piece
nicely rich in sound scape,,, mostly the precussive instrument family? i like the airyness of this,, (wish i knew how to spell)
interesting,, is this a standard tuning?
excellent.. agree with what Norm said,,very nice
i was interrupted, when i listened before, it is a pretty cool loop
very very fine,, leaves much to think about..
interesting sound
a very expansive sound,,
dancing, singing,,, the wind with a smile on it's face as it listens at the door,,, with this and many of your tunes ,, you bring a magic, to the air, well played
im enjoying wondering around through your library,, very nice music indeed!!! picturesque, and flowing
very nicely done!
Thanks for the comment, i am fixing that now, with a reissue , richard
