We have some here Reef..perfect for the scenario outside this morning but not quite enough to build a snowman...excellent as alays Richard a pleasure to listen to........
Gorgeous work!
It totally captures the serenity and beauty of snowfall.
I know what you mean. MTC said to me once that he fancied swapping our weathers.

i was trying to work on a piece for a shark video of mine, but this is what came out instead,, my piano moments collections are the small musical threads that emerge amongst/while i am working/thinking about other things,,,

I use normal tuning, i.e. A = 440Hz on a Boesendorfer 290.
And many thanks for all your great comments. Coming from artists such as yourself, it means a lot.

Richard!
The song seems to be playing here on the site okay for me, so something must be up on your end. As for the RPM site, if you look under "Latest Discussions" halfway down the right side of the page, you should find reference to the Holiday Challenge...
...And if the song won't play for you on Alonetone, you should be able to listen to it in my player.

Easter Sunday,, soft bubbly white clouds float across a pale blue sky,, above a green green field, filled with rows of those who have passed away,,, my mother and father lie in one such.... fresh flowers, quiet, and sometimes not so, words drift…
in a cool darkened lounge
floors above the cityscape
quiet laughter, clink of ice in glass
D min looks into the eyes of G min
a quiet romance begins
sometimes the best things in life are quite simple
(lots of rough sound on this,, not sure…
The music is old but the video i just made,,, on a dive trip to Beqa Island Fiji,, music is a previous version of piano moment #5, of late i have been working on diving and putting existing music to the videos,, hope you like r

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.

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…

I was hoping for something like this. It's perfect, now if I could only get some snow to fall up in the mountains here tonight...
Beautiful work Richard. A perfect way to close my evening.
It must be lovely to have someone playing the piano so effortlessly around the house. Bee
I keep finding more of these I've not heard. Like all of them it's gorgeous!

~Silenzio è ipnotizzante~
If I played piano I'd want to sound like this!
These are all so gorgeous!
Revisiting this track. I get misty eyed listening. So peaceful. I'm floating...w;-)
