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!

It's a piece about 4 years old that was my first attempt at using synth voices,, I am still looking for a good one,, if anyone knows.
The music itself is a tone poem, loosely dedicated to a children…
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.
A long over due changing of the acoustic strings led to this epic production. 40 tracks and 34 plug-ins. Good Gravy that's a boat load of tracks. All kinds of stuff happening.
Enjoy!
you spend your days and your night times
bustin' ass…
really very cool,, not to mention excellent,,, i am interested in the number of plugins you used,, what program/s are they from? i would like to move a little in the direction of this type of music...so perhaps you might have some advice??,, yes there is a lot going on!!!!! really a great piece Richard
This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.
The piano, bass…
very cooooool,, excellent playing as usual!!, i just came back from 6 miles in 90+, ice cold water and your music are perfect, i like the way you change tempos
A good friend of mine Harris Kidd filmed a short piece of work starring my other great friend (and my drummer) Zay Brignall, anywaaays he asked if I could make a soundtrack for it soooo I sat down and watched it over and over and started plunking…
If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul.
Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez.
Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along.
Enjoy.....

really nice your voice and the synth backing you go together very well,,, great lyrics,, something about this reminds me, makes me think of the Moody Blues,,, are you a fan of theirs by any chance??? anyway,, very well done!!
After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…
I couldn't get anything right today so I just mashed through a guitar track and overlayed vocals. But now I kind of like the song so it will have to be redone.
So sit back and relax, don't shower or shave and have a beer!

i often find i have days like this,,,, and i also find that a beer,,, seems to smooth it over... at least for awhile,, and then... i carry on,,, each day must be lived in its own special way,, interesting way you put this kind of feeling all together,,, take care,, nice tune,,, Richard
Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
This is a cover of Richard Wright's original "night of a thousand furry toys" that i made a couple of years ago. all work, voices, instruments and recording by myself :0)
original lyrics and music: Richard Wright
very nice,, i hope to hear more... i see you are in Chile,, i was down there and Argentina , in 1980,, lovely country,, wonderful people, i went there to climb cerro Aconcagua,, made it to about 22,600 just below the summit,, but then we almost,, ended our lives, so it was a good thing we came back instead ..... but it all turned out well in the end and i am still here... i spend many wonderful weeks in Chile after the climb,, it reminds me a lot of where i live in south cal,, nice work,, good to see you here R

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.

wow, beautiful and intense!
wonderful composition! bach-like elements with an overall reverential quality, i like this very much.

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.

Thanks for making the world a bit more beautiful, awe-inspiring and majestic.
So soothing and deep with really nice harmonies.
