very, very nice. Gotta be my favorite instrument for solos. Good luck and good experience with the RPM. I did it just once and it was the best month of my musical life.

What a gorgeous piece! I actually prefer this one with the longer reverb as it gives the impression of not intruding on the conversation, but listening to it from a distance. Just beautiful Richard!
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…

High quality wav samples over 320 bps will work for you , they are live people playing with the ear and skill to do it well enough to sell.But there are free samples out there for most systems. I will take a look see and drop ya a link , if i find a good one.

First of my rpm traks,, this year i am going to try to learn a bit about composing for midi orchestra, with that in mind i have began (in jan) to read several books on midi orchestration, orchestration and counterpoint,,, while these will probably…
RPM #2, first thank you all for the comments on rpm 1,, once again i forage into the world of midi orchestration,,, while i am beginning with strings and woodwinds,, this is a section from a string piece i am working on,, that somehow led me to…
rpm 3,,cello,cello, contrabass, and bass clarinet,, im really getting to love that clarinet!,, thanks for listening , and please send any comments,suggestions, thoughts richard
rpm #4,, i love watching the local birds,, in winter they seem a bit more eager, in my imagination,, they must spend more of their time sitting around their wood stoves, munching on seeds and telling stories of summer days, all the while as the…
This starts at essentially the same improvisation pattern and then travels elsewhere - I think I like the Martin version better myself. This one is in stereo.
ok this one playes for me,,,haven't heard the martin one yet,, but this is very nice,,, i know how multi talented you are,, but there's just something about hearing you playing on a solo guitar,, that just stands out so profoundly... this is great,,,,well well played
Just an improvisation for ImprovFriday - recorded on my Zoom H2 in the expensive acoustic guitar room at my local guitar center.
I had to switch to mono because I had the zoom too sensitive and created a series of pops on one channel. This…
One more to go and I'm slapping them together.
This is 3 layered drum loops. Some dupes and some play along.
I've managed to grow a huge beard this RPM.
I think I'm starting to look like Gandolf. :)
well hey there Gandolf's not a bad person to look like, at least as far as im concerned,,, this is very nice,,,, is that a mandolin or slide playing the lead? fine playing
Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
the music adds a dimension to the reading that is very powerful,,, it's neat the way they balance together so well, neither over powering or detracting from the other,, this is sort of like a collage of sound,, well done
So one too many coffee's and I have insomnia, I decided to mess about with my prototype sequencer Rytme and one of the Logic piano presets (Piano Motion).
I came up with this piece (in the key of A Major) which is rather repetitive (a quality…
very fine,,, i was going to make some comment about bit of a time warp,, but,,, forget that!! this is a really great sound in the here and now,, you have created a really cool ambience
A live studio take,made in San Francisco's "Different Fur Studio"deep in the heart of the "mission district"..a live audience made it a lot of fun!2010
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…
very nice,, the instruments all sound very fine,, the cello part is very soft, not really for me to say but perhaps the cello, which is a rich mellow deep string could be a tad louder,, it's rich low sound is a great compliment to the high twang of the banjo,,,however the song is wonderful as is,, take care r

<3 those string are beautiful ;3;
I'm a sucker for orchestras and strings. <3 absolutely love the feel of the song
Love the moviescape vibe this gives of.....truly Magical.Soundscape ....love it ...
very, very nice. Gotta be my favorite instrument for solos. Good luck and good experience with the RPM. I did it just once and it was the best month of my musical life.
This is just about perfect for me and I can't help thinking that your description would make a perfect short animation. If only I had the skill.
Absolutely gorgeous piece, Richard. w;-)

Cello is a cool tool.
Solo pieces are a lot harder than full orchestra, in many ways indeed. But this sounds very nice.
Really beautiful music.
Deep tones.
Carried away by this one Richard. Good luck on the RPM, might have to wait and hear the album as a finished piece. :) No spoliers!
Wonderful composition Richard!
These midi tracks are excellent.
Another great track mate.
Excellent track.
Beautiful Richard.
