Hi Richard, keeping the peace in space is all guitar and percussion. I used guitar effects quite liberally on Brian's, Norm's and my parts. The opening is Brian stretched to 8x and the organ-like part in the last 3rd is Brian's guitar backwards in part and the the 2 chord set copied and pasted a few times.

Based on Norm Harris' Percussion Solo Moonbathing http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/moonbathing this piece uses bass pictured above after conversion to fretless and uses my fretless Fender Squire through the metallurgy 3 demo effect.
I have a story to tell. Debbie and I went to a Guitar Center across town looking for a cheap used bass for me to convert to fretless like I did my Squire Strat. Well.... I ran into a really nice used Ibanez 5 string bass - with a B below E…
what a wonderful mix of story telling and music,,,,are/were you a lit major??? ,,you have an amazing gift of word... you have a new fan,, recommend this to all( don't worry about the length ))!!!
very fun,,, i have to wonder what your "better half thinks"?,, thanks for you comments,, if i were to do something like this i know what myyyy wife would say......
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
Faith is assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

most impressive!!! the sound/tonal/texture qualities are superb!!!! the piano entry, is also superb (im gona need to find some new words so i don't keep repeating myself),, the sound mix between the piano and orch is very tight.... the movement flows,, it has beauty and an interesting depth/development,, the high point/rise about 10:30 ish is on a par with any of the "classical" greats,, interesting,, how it moves on from there... a very rich,,full ,, gorgeous musical work,,, you are an inspiration to me!!! if this is only the 1st mov,, then it's going to be a long concerto no? the closing octaves are superb,,
another,, very creative take on our musical world,, i really enjoy your musical explorations,,, sometimes i feel like someone in the old world in the 1500's listening to tales brought from the new world across the sea.... very interesting
This is a collab tune which was originally written by Tad Rees (aka Solo). He plays the Keyboard.synth, and I did the guitar and drums. The last half blends with his original which can be heard in completion at :

This is a serial improvisational piece (excepting some drum loops) in John O’Sullivan’s Blue JI tuning (which I rather like) – all of the instruments, African log drum, Nigerian log drum, Krin slit drum, Teponaxtli, Toere, Kaekeeke, Kalaau…
I wrote this song after me and my boyfriend who planned on getting married broke up. I was in a very desperate state and I believe God gave me the lyrics to this song. It's amazing how His peace brought me through what I thought I couldn't bear.:)
Please also listen to the second part of this track, "John Capulator".
This part represents first scenes of comics, John Capulator's appearing from the morning fog in a narrow alley, huge double chainsaw massacre near crowded underground station…

Really lovely. I feel like the musical equivalent of a caveman with a tuned stick when I hear real musicians like you perform!
Nice! - I like how it turns into a prog rock piece almost about 1:40 ish
What beautiful melodies!
Oh, and what a beautiful direction it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, brilliant! sounds like 4 movements-in-one, and the progression is so well balanced and arranged, it's almost "invisible" - bravo!
dis is da bomb.
1 min 40 so pretty, love that. Most attractive and delightful music. Thanks.
I would love to listen to this while visiting an art gallery. Excellent work man. Don't ever doubt yourself.
strong, excellent
Oh...I think you DO know what the heck you're doing. Agree with Vaisvil - this is beautiful...sublime.
Actually, if you wanted, I could try a treatment like Keeping the Peace in Space on one of your piano pieces, if you'd like.
Hi Richard, keeping the peace in space is all guitar and percussion. I used guitar effects quite liberally on Brian's, Norm's and my parts. The opening is Brian stretched to 8x and the organ-like part in the last 3rd is Brian's guitar backwards in part and the the 2 chord set copied and pasted a few times.
this is beautiful and moving. I wish I could play piano this well. Awesome work Richard!
Rough or not, it's beautiful. Sounds like you DO know what the heck you're doing :) w;-)
THIS is what i call well played...i play piano based on my ears, man i never studied musical theory and stuff...beautiful song, enjoyed a lot, very good album, congratulations
