Beautiful Music! I had trouble playing the video.
Isn’t Catalina Island where the Great Whites migrate through? Yikes!
rpm #7,, i think this will be the overture, to a small midi orchestral suite, which i hope will finish up as my remaining 3 pieces for this years rpm, but well see how that goes,, thanks for all the helpful comments i have received on this project…
an overcast rainy day here in south calif.. i sat at my piano in the morning and this just sort of sprang out on the keyboard... since im learning about electric guitars this feb (for rpm) i spent the day playing with different amps and effects…
There is a video for this below
Its all a bit cliche I know - but its what I wanted to do. All of the video footage was taken by me in an undisclosed location somewhere. This is a microtonal piano improvisation that uses Lucy tuning 0b6s meantone…
Hi again,,, i hope you realize that i used simple as a complement,,,many of the best compositions (Bach aside) are based on extremely simple motifs, and then explored (Beethoven comes to mind) that piece was simple,, and at the same time beautiful and interesting (not always true of simple stuff) the gift is to be able to be simple and yet still be sublime, or interesting, or dramatic, or any number of cool things at the same time,,, you have that gift,, often and over and over i hear such cool stuff coming out of your music,,, for me being able to be simple and yet wonderful at the same time is about the highest achievement a musician can be,, ,, anyway i enjoy you music very much Richard

nice Chris,,, drifting quietly through a simple theme can be a lot of fun yes?? i enjoyed this (and simple is a complement, from my stand point, it's always what i try to aspire to) well done R
Having fun this week at my own expense, not my genre but what the heck. I used all the kids that were playing at my house on Monday for the chorus - had a blast.
Collaborators: my kids Dylan, Zack, Ally with Jake Henning , Haley Henning
I…

Hi again friend,, i was walking around my house, doing some chores,, when i realized that what i ment to say earlier is that as musicians we are both trying to speak from the heart( it definitely shows in your music), and that as far as im concerned is all that really matters, that and having a good time,,,, ah well back to my chores Richard
very pretty friend,, thanks for you kind comments,, by the way,, i personally don't feel that any one kind of music is "better" or more "talented" than any other,, personally i enjoy your music very much,, and i know that there's a lot that i can learn from your music,,,, hey i happen to notice that you and i shared a pod cast on rpm last year,,pretty cool huh?
Lyrics
The Good Lifeless has Become Boundless
such that it is written,
went where and windly
with pentacles of pie
like know our way
down the screem
when we find what it
is that can been and be we of their
2 tracks of hobnox…
once again.... very nice, something about the vocals reminds me of creme,,,, perhaps if this is what they would sound like 30 years later?
well done Chris
Another oldie but goodie (again, apologies for the few seconds of silence it takes to get to the intro). This song is the first that I really tried to record properly, written around Christmastime four or five years ago with my seventh grade…
Wellll it's not really a mystery, it's a little Beatles remixing!! I've basically just mashed together Octopus's Garden and All My Lovin'.
Hope you like it!
toooons of fun makin it :)
The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…

Very nice Richard it seems so celebratory and yet private in a way. Loved it.
It’s been a while since listening to a tune of your Richard a moment to think and contemplate thank you
Very nice and relaxing tune- I almost could see the clouds!
Dave and I enjoyed this very much! It was the song the quartet played at our daughter’s wedding as she walked down the isle!
This is beautiful, the notes hang in the air like snowflakes lit by a full moon.
Beautiful composition Richard, I really enjoyed it
Perfect tune to end the night. Loved it
Really delicious chord changes in those arps. Enjoyed the flowing rythm. Very nice piece. ENJOY RPM and have a great time.
Beautiful and Powerful Piece of Music
Very nice tribute
Beautiful playing.
