Genuinely beatiful. Congrats on finishing the RPM challenge. I haven't been able to participate since '07, but I love to hang around there each February. Very much enjoyed this, and will keep listening.
This song goes all the way back to my roots of writing music mostly on acoustic guitar and recording/playing all the instruments myself. Also my first 'proper' recording in my new studio space. Thanks for listening!

Frank has turned up at Reg's cellar with Louis and the Duke with a tune that Frank is claiming to be about his latest love affair, so naturally Reg switched on his tape recorder........
About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....
This one is called “Stoneâ€...

nonetheless I'm hopelessly in love with the flatted 5th theme.
Hey Chris,, weither or not you have fallen for the b5th theme,,i think your work here is amazing,,,, i think i have fallen for it,,, i have listened to the other take once, and will listen again,, but this just grabbed me,, well done friend Richard
This tune hopefully shows the culmination of my musical influences (namely, Mick Karn (R.I.P.), Adrian Sherwood, Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble...) while also painting a visual picture...as it was written and recorded in one day after I went free-diving…
yes a fun piece indeed,,eels oh yes,,iv had a few swim around me and over me,, in fact i know a place Cliperton Atoll that is so remote that the ells will swim ou, and approach divers one on one,, they don't do anything bad their just curious ,, nice piece take care Richard
Minamisoma was a city in Japan that was destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami of 3/11/2011. The Angels of Minamisoma is a memorial piece for flute and vibraphone written in free tonality that is driven by melodic and harmonic tendencies that…
really good!!! ,on a second listen right away,,,,,right from the beginning,, it pulls me in,, there's a lot to hear hear, from the background base up this has a great texture,,, this could be a great background piece for a movie type setting,, well played R
your song flows in beauty, with personal, touching tones, i feel like an outsider listening in to a very personal conversation, and then i realize it really applies to us all at one time or another,, perhaps that's the the magic of a beautiful piece of music like yours,, well done Richard

This is a guitar piece in classical style in 17 notes per octave using the 17 version of the phyrgian mode. In normal 12 equal tuning phyrgian mode starts on…
very nice,,, im going to have to come back and watch the video,, in a way it reminds me of the softer side of Michael Hedges, have you ever heard of him? if not i think you would really enjoy looking him up,,,, this is very beautiful!! perhaps we could figure out some sort of piano and guitar colab... though im not sure how that might work with the tunings you use,, but perhaps i can re-tune my yamaha i use for recording,,, or we take care Richard,, and once again well done!!
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
My composition Ediacaran Garden for classical guitar has been selected for performance by Kenji Haba in New York City June 26 2011 as part of the Fifteen Minutes of Fame with Kenji Haba Vox Novus series. A requirement was that the piece not…
This song was inspired by the Life of Pi...and yes, i feel like a drifter at times, floating, going no where.
I've been drifting
i've been drifting for days
going no where
being driven by the waves
driven mad by the wind and her voices…
This evolved out of an exercise in a workbook I just got on music composition. The original task was to write a melody in the Dorian mode about water...

I enjoyed these tunes.. Nice and mellow...
Really like this one.
Lovely melodies!
nice song and after reading the title it brought to my mind Michael Nyman's soundtrack for The Piano
Stunning. Just absolutely beautiful. Wonderful work, Richard.
Sounds quite joyful to me! But love the title and the composition
Very pastoral. Looking forward to some warm afternoons! Again, lovely
Sounds like rain! Love the way you come out of the refrain at about 1.40 back into the rain motif. Very nice
Lovely!
Just beautiful!
Very nicely played! I learned to play piano but never like this. Well done. ER
Another fun composition with a fun title.
Fascinating composition with a great title that now enters my vocabulary.
