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.

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.
This is the first time I picked up and tried to play a guitar that is in 88 cent equal temperament - the tuning does not contain an octave. Since this was the first time I made some mistakes. Nonetheless I think it sounds interesting.
beautiful song that captures one of those special moments that find us,, touch us with the magic of family,, well played,, i have missed hearing your music of late Richard

really cool song,, missed it somehow,, but saw Kirk's comment,, and followed the trail,, your lyrics are really good, and the musical parts are very fine,, well done
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…
After Creation is an entry into the Vox Novus 15 Minutes of Fame competition for flute and marimba duet. Unfortunately the entry was not accepted for performance but undeterred I present to you a performance of the score rendered by Garritan…
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.

interesting piece,, i found it drawing me in not by note,, very Bach like in form/feel,, you say improv, is it in fact based on another piece?... in any event it's very pretty.. and does seem very Easterish to me,,, well done your friend R
I thought a microtonal piece almost completely in absynth would be a decent goal. So, I improvised bass, lead, chords, effects in 19 notes per octave against a sequence of drum loops run through effects. Then - just to see the difference I took…
interesting listen,,, very different,, im enjoying this not because it's the typical stuff, but rather because once again you are leading me off into musical directions that are new.. thanks R
Reg is in the cellar, it's early morning he is back in what seems the inevitable empty bar. To the Barman Reg sings his sad song ........................
i really like the musical underpinnings of this,, this piece has a rich full feeling,, another great story line,, like ive mentioned before, i think your a great story/word smith,,, very nice
you definitely have a new fan here,, well played,composed music all around,, if you have any videos of you preforming, id be neat to post them here,, ps gota love those guitar riffs cheers Richard
This is a short piece written for a friend who is developing a computer game for his degree. It needed to be loopable, hence the abrupt start and finish! Still a work in progress so i'd appreciate any comments about making it better
let see if i can contain myself and say this in a reserved British manner
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowieeeeeee!!
guess i can't
anyway a most amazing piece of music,, it's well written,, well,, performed,well mixed wonderful sound quality,, on my second listen,, the lyric quality/style storyline is great,, it's one of those pieces that though is fresh and new, already seems to have a classic feel.. well played

This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…
Chris, pretty nice, nice deep mellow sound on the bass,,,,the voice is also pretty good, i think i like it better than that of symphonic instruments,,,but i have not found myself doing well, ever, when trying to work with solo voice,,, i enjoyed this R

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.

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.
