Hi Richard, there is a contest to make microtonal demo tunes with MOTU. Selection of contestants is over and now we all must make at least 3 microtonal demonstration pieces. The Dance of the Unicorn is in a werckmeister equal beating variant.
this prelude is very nice. the descending register pattern is a nice variation. I see you sneak in the left hand :-)

Lovely Richard glad to hear some more orchestral stuff on here.
I don't play the piano pieces by the way I'm not even Grade 1 on piano! All computer generated but I hope to get them performed soon.
Cheers beautiful music here!

This is fabulous! The instruments perfectly compliment one another, in fact, they dance! And the synth voices sound great - much better than any I've found! Wonderful piece of music, beautifully performed.

Hi Richard - I don't like being bored :-) I also am experimenting with some success with microtonal music as well. Drop by www.notonlymusic.com and www.chrisvaisvil.com some time.
Now.... this is a lovely sensitive piece!

Your development as a composer is stunning since a year ago when I checked your last RPM record out. I owe you a proper review of this record, which I will follow-through on soon. All that aside, this track is so pretty... really great all around. Good job!

I really enjoyed the listen of this album. Though I am a 'roots' americana guy myself, I love classical and probably listen to this style more than to any other. I especially love the interplay of lines which make the harmonies as opposed to chord-based pop music. Your selections very nicely fed this appreciation. Thanks for making the world a bit more beautiful, awe-inspiring and majestic.

Mama Please
She falls flat on her face
she’s totally spaced
she has no disgrace
her life is a waste
she has no respect
she’s so full of hate
she drinks from morning till it’s very late
she’s living in hell
she’s trapped…

LOST IN THE GRAY

Never tried anyway

Never even thought I'd ever really want to stay

Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
you take my breath away here,, so many thoughts feeling hopes fears,, heart beats pass away while i listen to this,,,but perhaps the trueist for me are, the pictures behind my eyes, in my mind,, of all the years i have been blessed to be with my children,, and no matter how i try (and i often don't) there's a part of me that always sees them forever young,,(which is not what they want to hear of course) , love your play richard

oh ya,,,,,about 3 seconds into this your playing alone, had won my heart, this is,,, something i must listen to... right away again,(and i don't usually do this), the music/play/arrangement is brilliant.. and the lyrics are poetry that goes right to heart,, (on the level of a P Simon or J Mitchell, in my view),, most wonderful! congrats two both r

A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.

I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…

Have had some time to listen to this in my car during the work week. Excellent piece, took some time to wrap my head around it completely.
Hi Richard - I don't like being bored :-) I also am experimenting with some success with microtonal music as well. Drop by www.notonlymusic.com and www.chrisvaisvil.com some time. Now.... this is a lovely sensitive piece!
wow, beautiful and intense!
wonderful composition! bach-like elements with an overall reverential quality, i like this very much.
Your development as a composer is stunning since a year ago when I checked your last RPM record out. I owe you a proper review of this record, which I will follow-through on soon. All that aside, this track is so pretty... really great all around. Good job!
Thanks for the listen and comment on the improv Richard!
Ah, great arrangement, Richard!
Hey Richard! Great stuff... LOVE the strings!!! Great "sit back, think, and feel" music for me... Just outstanding.
interesting,,, i hear many bach motifs strung throughout,, do you ever listen to the WTC such as preludes 1 ? ,,, well anyway well done R
beautiful. Wish I still had keys with a choir sound like that. I used to have a mirage keys...and they sounded alot like the keys u used.
2:30 into it, very nice. Love the contrast between the sections.

So soothing and deep with really nice harmonies.

Bravo Friend! a beautiful story, a wonderful song... i still remember the day 24 years ago, when i brought my wife and son, home from the hospital,(i had been there of course) but as much as i didn't expect it,, i remember crying in happiness,,,as we stopped in the driveway and i held him, it can be a bit overwhelming,, good luck on sleep,,, nice work here richard
very lovely, the words/story suggests a bit unease,, but very lovely in a different sort of way (not exactly sure how to say what i mean)
most playful play, i enjoy hearing/feeling the finger dancing on the keyboard
and what a wonderful urge it was,,, this is really great
you take my breath away here,, so many thoughts feeling hopes fears,, heart beats pass away while i listen to this,,,but perhaps the trueist for me are, the pictures behind my eyes, in my mind,, of all the years i have been blessed to be with my children,, and no matter how i try (and i often don't) there's a part of me that always sees them forever young,,(which is not what they want to hear of course) , love your play richard
