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.

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…
Another "Love gone bad" song.
baby we've been here before
these selfish games you play
they cut me to the core
if only you'd open your eyes
If only you'd open your heart...
Chorus:
You and me
are not the same
and i wish you fell for me
the way…

very nice,,, also a gentle wander through your chosen cords( as i just mentioned about "wind voices, the song following yours on the uploads),,, pretty,, well done!!
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
I was inspired by the music of a friend of mine, their band is called Aradhna and you might like to check them out. I've attempted to compose a song in the Hindi language and here it is.
The words are very simple

On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…
There's a few things going on here in this little all MIDI experiment. First, I wanted to
show an example of artistic clipping to go with my current posts in the forums on the
subject.

all midi? it sounds pretty good,, when does the popcorn start coming to go with this great movie track? very well done, i will have to read your stuff in the forum..
for my ex....
Norm Harris performs the excellent percussion
Down by the riverside
Where all of the fish had died
I threw my faith right in
When I saw it, it was sinking
Oh don't you go
Don't you even dare
Don't run away until you…
Ok, so I'm just a percussionist, and if your only tool is a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. I get it. And I also get that our songs are our children, so we should be very careful about whom we let them play with.
When I first heard…
I wanted to start composing in the "classical" or "romantic" style for piano. This is the first movement of a sonata fantasia, its a sonata because it has three movements, but a fantasia because it doesnt have the exact structure of a sonata.
Well done friend,,, very lyrical,, i am just now trying to do my first sonata,, you give me inspiration!! this is very pretty,, how long/how many iterations did this take??

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.
