Just a note to all my fellow AToners,, back up, back up,, back up,, i just spent 5 days working with a down pc, i did have everything backed up but it was a bit scary,, and if anyone has issues with sonar and motu products,,i might have some hard earned help if you ever need it,, take care all and BACK UP everyday R

As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments: This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.

Loved this. Thanks for the trip. Also thanks for the comment on Call Me Crazy. I've had alot of computer issues the last few weeks and haven't been able to be part of this wonderful music community. Glad to have a moment to enjoy it. You're quite the composer, sir. Would love to collaborate on something sometime, if that would interest you. I don't just do country, by the way.

A lovely performance Richard.

Beautiful piano playing! Those piano notes definitely sound like rain drops!

beautiful first movement of your piano sonata Richard

Stunningly beautiful!! Especially that middle section

Awesome.

Breath-taking!

Beautiful Richard very nicely played, really cool.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! w;-)

Beautiful!! In composition and execution.

...VERY nice work here. Thanks for taking the time to listen!

...beautiful.

More Doors! *Excellent*

The wind of perfection blows in your direction Richard. This is real graceful.

very pleasant composition, and a great orchestation. although choirs might lack a bit of depth, mostly in the graves, there is really nothing wrong with those you've used..

Try Soundsonline.com with Quantum Leap East West Programs, they will blow your mind. They are mostly orchestral stuff, and realistic instruments outside synth, but i think there are plenty of synth things on the same site. if i did catch your question correctly hopefully i answered that same question.

Totally gorgeous!

indeed,, very fine,, the vocals/harmonies are really nice, it all flows well together, kudos to the poem writer

it all sounds sooo good together,, you really know how to play with all the sounds in a wonderful way,, great piece

very full and rich,,, supremely well blended, love it!!

very wonderful work,, seems like you had a bit of fun doing this...

excellent!

wonderful,,, how could i not not fav this? sounds like your modulating the piece a bit as it moves along? very well done,

how picturesque, both the title and the playing,, i agree with B the jaunty ending is quite nice,, well done

i don't think yove missed anything at all,,,you seem to be right where you need to be,, very fine lota depth here loops and all

symphonic in feel, very magical,, you give me much to think about

excellent

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

with respect and with a smile,, sooooo nicely done,, and life is like that, and quite beautiful none the less,, well done r

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

you pull me in,, sweeping me away,,,i drift along your vocal pictures floating in my mind, what a wonderful colab!! i am most amazed!!

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

wonderful vocal, rich harmony, very nice, id say the new mic is a go

interesting,, has an western texas feel, like 7000 miles or so to the west closer to japan or the indo pacific,,, i enjoyed hearing this

well Chris, i find this rather interesting,
