Art of Love #1
these are my piano moment pieces arranged for other instruments, hence the name,, in a way it's kind of interesting to use one piece of work in more than one way ,,, Richard
and yes this version was put up 1st about 4 months…

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

As always it evokes emotion. Something about your works always draw me in...I feel you see the music before you play...some inner feeling draws you to the notes you play. I am just stunned...I wish I could play piano like this...so free...not having to worry about where the keys are....your work always amazes me...I am a fan. I thing you and Kavin need to team up on a breaking light feat. Richard side project...his work does the same thing. Have to FAV this one.

Are you sure they are not the ice in the glass vibrating on top of the piano. Just a thought!
Oh, it's gone .....
Well, it was so lovely while it lasted!
This starts at essentially the same improvisation pattern and then travels elsewhere - I think I like the Martin version better myself. This one is in stereo.
ok this one playes for me,,,haven't heard the martin one yet,, but this is very nice,,, i know how multi talented you are,, but there's just something about hearing you playing on a solo guitar,, that just stands out so profoundly... this is great,,,,well well played
Just an improvisation for ImprovFriday - recorded on my Zoom H2 in the expensive acoustic guitar room at my local guitar center.
I had to switch to mono because I had the zoom too sensitive and created a series of pops on one channel. This…
One more to go and I'm slapping them together.
This is 3 layered drum loops. Some dupes and some play along.
I've managed to grow a huge beard this RPM.
I think I'm starting to look like Gandolf. :)
well hey there Gandolf's not a bad person to look like, at least as far as im concerned,,, this is very nice,,,, is that a mandolin or slide playing the lead? fine playing
Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
the music adds a dimension to the reading that is very powerful,,, it's neat the way they balance together so well, neither over powering or detracting from the other,, this is sort of like a collage of sound,, well done
So one too many coffee's and I have insomnia, I decided to mess about with my prototype sequencer Rytme and one of the Logic piano presets (Piano Motion).
I came up with this piece (in the key of A Major) which is rather repetitive (a quality…
very fine,,, i was going to make some comment about bit of a time warp,, but,,, forget that!! this is a really great sound in the here and now,, you have created a really cool ambience
A live studio take,made in San Francisco's "Different Fur Studio"deep in the heart of the "mission district"..a live audience made it a lot of fun!2010
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…
very nice,, the instruments all sound very fine,, the cello part is very soft, not really for me to say but perhaps the cello, which is a rich mellow deep string could be a tad louder,, it's rich low sound is a great compliment to the high twang of the banjo,,,however the song is wonderful as is,, take care r

Pretty!
...drops, slightly at first, then more; in no particular order, by themselves...
Both very good.
This is beautiful! I love the bluesy feel. Would it be ok if I try to add to this?
very nice.
Beautiful Richard!
Todays music is tomorrows classic. Beautiful piece, wonderfully played.
Mmmm, turn the lights down! Curl up on the sofa and drink in these beautiful sounds.
Chilling.......
What a pro player....very impressive performance.
That's beautiful Richard, very well played mate.
Fireflies in the night...perfect. Loving your light touch - this is heartbreakingly tender.
lovely, I am assuming these moments are original compositions. I shall have to sit a while and listen........
Excellent, your piano moments are great and really remind me of my own 'moments' when I sit down to compose.
Excellent!
Lovely piece! Pity about the crackly noises, though. I'm really enjoying your Piano Moments, Richard. Looking forward to more.

and a lovely romance it was.
that's very nice to hear. d minor and g minor are both good friends of mine :)
