I was lucky enough to have a trip to YAP a part of the Federated States of Micronesia,, once again the music is from my piano solos but here it is attached to a video i made

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,,,
my rpm #5,, it will eventually become a part om my themed cd "the dark doll house" a somewhat sad place where memories of childhoods past echo through empty rooms,, the two other pieces thus far in this theme are the 3 mov of my piano sonata…
There are times, moments, sounds, shadow falls that take us to and bring us back to magical times in our lives,,,Something in this piece by Johnny Mercer & Henry Mancini,, can pull me in so many different ways,,, it's always been a favorite…

about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…

one cool thing about piano pieces is that they lend themselves to being rearranged for other instruments, since the piano encompasses the entire range,,, this is a pared down version of my last weeks submission le baiser apres-midi = the afternoon…

Of my celestial patroness, who deigns
Her nightly visitation unimplor'd,
And dictates to me slumb'ring, or inspires
Easy my unpremeditated verse:"

masterpiece! what more can i say,,, i love the way your beautiful musical textures weave and fold about each other, i was listening to some of your music while i was cooking dinner tonight,, what a gift,, while i guess there was more i could say..
The RPM journey begins here....Reg has fallen again it was soon after he got wagon he was falling off...but he's come to a crossroads and this time he means it this time....things are going to change.....
TOMORROW IT STOPS
Another week just…
Buck, ive gotta say, im asking myself, how have i missed your music for so long? this and alllll your pieces and playing are quite beautiful!! you have a great feel in your fingers as they play with the stings,, wow a new fellow to follow,, looking forward to wandering through all your music r
One of my other hobbies is watching wildlife in the area. I'm the happiest with a pair of binoculars around my neck and my hiking boots laced up.
Rita and I took these photos over the last few days, near our home.
Dakota County / February 2014
wow! quite fine,, i also spend a fair amount of time outside looking up.. last week i was able to get my best ever red tailed hawk photos,, it's cool we have something else in common in addition to music,, very very nice r
a 13 minute improvisation I played on a newly tuned Steinway grand piano at my Church. The only audience was my Zoom H2 – which is probably good since there are a few glaring “misses” in the performance. I love the joy of just playing but it does…

the second theme at about 1:40 is lovely, and i like the way it changes at about 3:10 or so, sort of climbing out into a different plain,, very pretty riffs in the 5 min and on, i like it when you break away from the cord structure to individual keys/notes,,,, at times through this i can hear the slight pauses where it seems like your thinking/planing what direction to take,, OUR DOING GREAT! it's a fun musical journey and im happy to be along... you have a lot of really nice small themes in this,, excellent! oh and by the way for many years i played on a churches concert steinway,, loved it, especially because most churches have such a lovely sound scape to make music in , not to mention the also wonderful light that typically filters in,, ah a small bit of heaven (guess that makes sense though) well anyway excellent Chris
I'm doing just Fine with Buck Erpestad. Check out Bucks music here:

Here is what Buck said he added:
"So I used the tremolophone (vibes) and tuba sounds in Garageband and played them on the keyboard."
This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…
wooow! very cool, your arrangement is great! if you should see some old, hairless guy with a keyboard chasing you on this train,, that would be me ,, well done

Fantastic piece. And playing.

Enchanting

I have enjoyed listening to your music, Richard - I couldn't resist favouriting this one, though. A beautiful melody, beautifully played.
Excellent! And many thanks for your comments.
Thank you for the listen and comment Richard! We ought to try a classical guitar and piano duet some day!
Beautifully done perfect for the mist that's still here.......1pmish
I LOVE THOSE KEYS HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING FOR A MILLION YEARS
thank you Richard for reminding me why I love alonetone, where else would I find a gem like this?
A dark-sided adagio? Some phrases remind me of Albinoni's. Very nice piece, indeed. And heartfelt thanks for all your kind words and comments.
lonelyness that's it
it's always a pleasure Richard...theres a story in there i can hear it.. maybe something to do with Andys maybe thats the connection.....
very good work
