Hi Richard, the tuning I used for the Magic of Belief has much more than major or minor and I used almost all of the. The opening plays with the chords CDG, CEbG CEb^G (a "neutral" third about half way between minor and major) and CEG (except the E is a purer 3rd than 12 equal)
The main motive bottoms out at what my ears are telling me is a neutral interval against a D neutral chord (but I'm not 100% sure, I didn't work it out - could be D minor)

well this is a bit awkward, but i have been chatting with Nosda Cariad about the various plus and minus of sound settings ie reverb,,, sometimes i feel like i have used too much, as sort of a crutch. in this version the reverb has been toned down…

Richard, I have enjoyed every second of your magical journey through midi. It has been utter bliss to hear all of them together.
Congratulations on a superb album.

.......if there not the one,should you keep looking, if so for how long...........well Reg threw Henwrench's music into the cellar and what bounced out was a song he wasn't suspecting....

really a fun piece,,, im not exactly sure how to describe this in terms of type (perhaps ive led a sheltered life) but it's very cool,,, once again you show a different side of your creativity,, very nice

Reg is trying to find escape from all the bad news surrounding him, his age, his life, the world as a whole, He needs to escape he can not do anything to help the suffering people of the world apart from maybe send money, he can't change this…
another musical/lyrical journey with our friend, Reg,,,,,, you have some interesting/powerful comments,, both personal and global,, interesting piece,,, it seems to me that your choice of media/presentation allows you to say things that others can't or don't,, (which is neither good or bad) anyway i enjoy your work very much..

Not being particularly religious, I still believe that the soul exists and that it does not die.

Never decieve me
Don't ever…
very smooth,,,excellent production backing up such marvelous talent, leads to a wonderful piece,, love your voices,,, in a way this brings to mind the collab of Hal David and Burt Backarat from the 60's and 70's of my youth.... well done sisters R
very nice,,,, i really enjoyed this,, i have one thought,,, it seems to me that the 2 or 3 tracks are somewhat in competition with each other in terms of volume.... piano,string,pipes or such? and all are strong parts in their own right, im used to a little more,, of a hand off between such strong parts with each taking their turn at the lead,, anyhow,, this is a very fine work,, hope you don't mind the comments,,, and as always please,,please feel free to share your thoughts with me Richard
tried to send a note,, but not sure it got through,,,
wowiee!!! great story telling indeed!!!, really like this,, my i suggest that when you have time you listen to regg (thetwroeges) another great story teller here on at (thought of a much different take) there's so many different and great styles here,,, take care,, welcome and look forward to hearing more Richard
wowie,,,great storytelling!!!,,,i look forward to hearing more....my i suggest you take a listen to another great story teller (though of different style from this) on this site regg otherwisw known as thetwags,,, well well done Richard
lovely,, a very mellow tension,, about 2:40ish breaks into rich creamy, tones (i know creamy is an odd description but, that just comes to my mind),, this piece has a beautiful understated sense of drama, and passion,,,masterful!! Richard
Had to try out the Yamaha DX100.
So I combined with the Korg I3.
Hope you like it!
Video is at youtube!See the link here, if you like to see me playing the instruments!
yes welcome to at,, nice to hear you here,,, it's a wonderful place for all of us to play around and listen,,, this is very smooth,, great energy in this
Reg has just finished reading the Sunday Times it's quite a read and he has decided he has had enough of bad news. So he is going to try something different to try to carry on getting his kicks before the whole shit-house falls down…

Stopped back for another listen.
Taceant ad preces motum heri an ..?
~... Así, como el eco pasado~
The pipes and the little Latin flourishes in the melody reminds my of Ennio Morocone. Only slightly though because it also sounds very unique :)
Missed this one too? What? How beautiful! Richard, you have a beautiful gift. w;-)
How did I miss this?! Gorgeous! w;-)
Welcome back, richard. And again, many thanks for your kind words. And yes, you are right about the strings/piano/percs blend.
I love this piece. There's something very special about it.
Overture indeed! Bravo!
This is a masterpiece!
Oh my, this is gorgeous!
Missed this one somehow. Gorgeous as always!
Richard, I have enjoyed every second of your magical journey through midi. It has been utter bliss to hear all of them together. Congratulations on a superb album. Cheers Bee
