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…
wow... lovely.....how very romantic...who amongst us has not known that feeling,,,your song is so poetic,,, who ever she is she's a lucky lady..... well well played
From last February...
I'm not sure where I'm going - its late - I'm tired so I may be out of my mind.
several absynths
pianoteq heavily modified
session 3 drums through guitar rig
stratocastor through guitar rig
vocoded voice via korg ms2000…
impressions
4 min in -- i am feeling/discovering a hugely large sound scape, plenty of places to get lost in ones thoughts amongst the notes
7 Min in --very expansive (what syth is this?, are you creating the long drawn out notes on a keyboard?)
9 min in --- (not being used to writing this style myself) what sort of land marks, for timing, expression are you using/feeling when you do this? how will you know when you get there?
14 min and 1 beer into the work -- still keeps my interest, but i do wonder where we are headed
17 min --- this is definitely a track to listen to, not background ,, i begin to see where we might be headed..
overall interesting,,, i enjoyed this,,,as i have noticed of late you have a lot of multi interests/talents... lots for me to think about thanks R
Dark, moody and a little weird - German indie artist Black Henbanbe with his version of the mother of all English folk songs. Recommended if you like the song, drone low vocals, gothic folk ambience and psychedelic gimmicks.
dark yes,, the off beat timing and use of minors and 6ths ? cloak this old standby in a darker, sadder & less romantic side of English folklore,,, well done very interesting!
For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom!

again after the first 10 seconds a fav!!! magical,, the notes flow me over like a ??
waterfall,, swift brook,,, breeze through the palms?? well well done, there's really no comment i can make that can say how wonderful this piece is,,, acoustical magic
Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.

after the first 10 seconds this became a favorite!! when you say snowed in do you mean literally? if so i hope you get more snow days... the timing and cord structure are effervescent wow great work
every time you show yourself
i'll let your image float away

This is an improvisation around a few chords I found when experimenting with two simultaneous tunings on my Fender Mustang run through the GR-20 retuned to Arabic 17 note Pythagorean tuning and also as-is through my DoD FX-7
The way this…
In 2006 we visited a Japanese garden. In September of 2009 I wrote this piano piece in 17 ET and I hear a connection between the two. So I put together a video from pictures and video taken of our visit and married the two. Please visit the song…

Sometimes I leave in the fumbling beginnings because they’re amusing to me.
This would be one of those times.
yelyah - “solo piano 20100411” semi live improv
Semi live in that I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but never locked the melody in (as is probably obvious).
Starting out as a simple and awe inspiring invention, progressing to a more chaotic and demanding machine driven future. - people becoming enslaved to these devices. Feeding the machine.

interesting sound scape,,, which i find you often have,,, your music seems to cross that divide from merely hearing into the almost visual,,,,, well sounded/seen

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
