I always like discovering old music I made- had to be fun listening in the car...great tune. This could almost be split out into several great song ideas.

What a glorious melody and such a flowing feel you have given it. Tear jerking!
I liked the touch of pizzicato and the hint of Irish lilt too.
This is wonderful Richard. Breathtaking!

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with just the coolest tiny idea? perhaps a musical dream? these small pieces are just that,, tiny little musical notes that just seem to break into my normal musical day,, one take suff
think…
It is my desire to free the inner child, to see like a child sees, to be in awe of my surroundings.
Wake up, little child, come out of hiding
I don't, i don't want to hurt you anymore
I want to see the world through your eyes.
seeing the world with wonder, awe, a little fear,, simplicity, magic,, openness,,
this is a lovely poem to that thought,hope,wish,,prayer,,, well spoken mr. Sweet
This is a short soft Jazz piece I found while playing through a few chords this evening.
Guitar split (GR-20) left and right + (GR-20) sax.
Maybe a certain percussionist might join in when he can?
A simple post-rock jam. First guitar-only track with my new rig, recorded through a Zoom H4n. Figuring out how to play live without any computers...

3 tracks with my strat copy + NI guitar rig
1 track with my Washburn bass + NI guitar rig
1 vocal clip I made and tortured
1 Korg MS200 track
1 Pianoteq track
session drummer 3
Sonar 8.5 used to put it all together
well ive been away for a while,,, it's great to come back and find such beautiful music... as i listen makes me wish i knew how to play guitar.... this does have a nice epic flow, and yes i agree with a bit of a pink floyd feel...well done and interesting throughout the entire piece

This is my first effort with real bongos. I've been so inspired by Norm's talents, that I had to give it a try. I borrowed a set of bongos from my brother Asa.

I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
lovely,, a great travel through sound space,,, many thoughts/feelings through the mind while i listen... is there perhaps a bit of north African influence in this and some of your other work? something about this (not just the percussion) seems to have a Arabic/ med feeling... anyhow... well done once again R
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…
I had not touched my keyboard for a long time - couple months? So it was inspiring to play it again. I set it up in the living room of the new house and played pianoteq on my laptop using a Just Intonation tuning (below). Actually I had to improvise…

Old music library track. I recorded this with a cheap Yamaha keyboard my step-father gave me. Wish I would have add little more to the repeat of the melody, but I think I…
Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…
very 18th century classical in sound,,, a very clean sound (when i try to mix multiple tracks of this type of instruments it often seems muddy to me, but this is clear),, are you by chance a Haydn or Mozart fan?,, really nice,, you give me inspiration to try something like this well played R
really very beautiful, and rich sounding, a lot of cool musical thoughts making a tapestry of sound,,, very nice,, the percussion underlying this is very interesting... i will be looking to see you guys on a movie track in the future well played

once again,,, very wonderful,,,,, i will have to check out mr nevue
these tunes all have a certain cleanness and simplicity that i find intoxicating (simplicity is a complement as far as i am concerned, it takes a high degree of skill to be both simple and interesting and excellent all at the same time,, at least as far as i am concerned) well well played/keyed R
Comments on richardlaceves's stuff
Ends so suddenly! It's all about the beauty otherwise!
the clink of ice in glass, I think I could muster up a sample of that for you! Beautiful playing RA
Nice mate
Sweet.
Thanks Richard glad you liked mate
Well done my man, glad you "discovered" it.
Whew! That's some piece of work right there.
Some of your finest, in my humble opinion...heartbreakingly beautiful. Such talent.
Betty M warned me about this one...and she was right...absolutely glorious!
What a treasure to find! I agree with Reefwalker: there's lots of good stuff in this one.
lovely is too mild of a word - this is gorgeous and spell binding.
I always like discovering old music I made- had to be fun listening in the car...great tune. This could almost be split out into several great song ideas.
Beautiful Richard top job mate
