a small quiet piece for a Sunday evening,, all four string sections are present here,, violin, viola,cello and contrabass,,it's kind of fun to try to mix, and pass the various themes around,,

Year: 1993
Album:
Strange Beauty
Artist's description:
Ok.... this is a song made almost entirely of samples from The Beatles Rubber Soul album digitized by an 8-bit sound blaster from the line out of a portable CD player. It was composed…
Sadly, an unfinished track I recorded about the time I ran out of money. Back when I was writing four or five tunes a day. Played guitars, mandolin, keyboards, and I'm guessing it's my original keyboard drum and bass parts that I did at home…
i sent a note but i do not see it so here goes again
really,, really nice piece,, i like the way you work the theme,, is it a synth oboe or what? again,, nice piece
wow, i like some of the vocal style/tempo/ ways you do this song,,,,, do you have a classical/show music type of background? something about the structure in these songs makes me think that,, well done R
indeed pretty cool,, this has an interesting mix of a strong/louder lyric style set against a softer understated instrumental,,and then at times they mix,, indeed pretty cool
Hello, I thought I'd upload a track from 1993's Strange Beauty today. It was reviewed by the WMR (Weekly Module Reviews) team (in 1996 I'm guessing.) These reviews were published on "uesnet" about music posts to the same system - Usenet is an…
I generally take my Zoom H2 portable digital recorder with me on my trips to music stores to record myself playing equipment I can’t afford to buy. This is one of today’s recordings. June 24th 2011

They had a piano fight down the cellar last night Reg doesn't understand whats happening with all this violence i mean he's just a hippie at heart.....At least no-one got hurt......They just had fun this time!
i like this,,fun bounce around piece,, i have been learning/working on some of Scott Joplins music this early summer,, it's something you might like to play/see if you are not already familiar with it,, nice play,, take care R
Calling
There ain't no future without a past
all of the promises that just won't last

This is a traditional piece that dates back to at least the 16th century. Since the version I have is instrumental I used what is called Pythagorean Tuning and period instruments to render it. (alto recorder, bells (crotales), fiddle, and bodhran…
Berceuse (means cradle song - or lullaby) by Chopin Op. 57 midi recorded by Ron Lubetsky, M.D. in 1997. And indeed I can tell from the midi file this was a real performance. I ran it through pianoteq in Sonar X1. I hope you enjoy it.

thanks Chris,, i'll have to look into this one,, Chopin is,,, well who can argue with Chopin,, im not familiar with this but the right hand is getting a great work out, it's a beautiful piece and nicely played thanks for sharing
quite interesting/cool, im currently working on my own version (piano solo) of this piece, i find it actually quite difficult, because it's such a strong piece of music,,,, anyway thanks for your interpretation,, and yes i agree with Norm on its nature
The berimbau is a Brazilian instrument associated with Capoeira, which is a Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, sports, and music. It was created in Brazil mainly by descendants of African slaves with Brazilian native…
really really cool,, i know a very little about osage orange, it's a cool wood, used for long bows in place of yew,, which is the traditional english wood,, i have a 55 lb osage orange long bow that i built, it is a wood that is a bit soft/stringy, so it needs some form of backing for a bow, i use bamboo,, shoots great and also makes a bit of a twang as i release,, now that i think about it,, anyway,, making ones own tackle is really neat,, wonderful work/demo/story/sound all in one and all around!!
The island of Cuba was a Spanish possession for almost 400 years (1511-1898). The land-owning elite held social and economic power, supported by slaves, both indigenous and of South American and African descent, until slavery was abolished…
very excellent,, both the music, and the story,one of the things i find so compelling about music is that, it is an art that exists only in the moment, of the beat, the hearing, the heart, i enjoyed this alot thanks for both

I meditatively floated away with this expansive, gentle, gorgeous, peaceful piece.
Well it's sounding good so far ...cant wait to hear the whole thing....if this is you not knowing what your doing ...what the hell are you gonna come up with when you do .....from someone who really doesn't know what he's doing ......good to have you back Richard
Bullseye! This is fantastic. You have achieved some great guitar tones. The blend with piano really makes it shine.
Sounds great Richard, I look forward to hearing the album in entirety.
You are on a roll, so keep on rock'n.
I love your idea of trying things you have never used. It's inspiration to keep learning. This was really a beautiful and haunting track. I like it!!!
You are more than a simple piano player. You are a great musician.
This is really cool mate

Oh music to get lost in and I loved the peaceful video of your diving adventure over there.

Perfect atmosphere Rik! I went to the cemetery above Omaha Beach, Normandy, France. Devastatingly sad! Cheers Bethan
