a small quiet piece for a Sunday evening,, all four string sections are present here,, violin, viola,cello and contrabass,,it's kind of fun to try to mix, and pass the various themes around,,

Made additions to my friend Marco Lucchi's wall-of-electric-guitars- backdrop track "playground #18"
Track #9 for RPM Challenge album to be entitled Intruder.
Reg has succumb ...this being straight lark just isn't for him ....it's full of disappointment...at least he knows what to expect when he's high.....
Pour the whiskey from the bottle
fill the glass drain it dry
say goodbye to all that sorrow…
The poem is by Jason Kirk Bartley
This is in 19 edo and I play drums using a Simmons SMDP1 drum pad. The quality of poem is a lot higher than my music which is kind of an odd psychedelic blues not usually associated with the subject.
psychedelic for sure,,, this evokes some interesting images,,, listening to this which is great,, i would also guess you are a big doors fan, they blended such themes musically

One of my favorites from this year's album, probably because I didn't have to write the back story.
Little sis wrote a novel called "The Wishmaker" set on an island off the coast of Maine. I'm betting y'all'll be seeing it on shelves soon…
Years ago, in Winter, a friend of mine sent me pictures from Moscow, where she lives. And that inspired me to write this "soundtrack".
The vocal theme is "sung" by Vocaloid, a software singer. Unfortunately I don't have a singer of that calibre…
Something more mellow. Got the idea from an Andy Aledort column in Guitar World magazine but can't remember which one and can't find the issue now.
Thanks for listening.
What a treasure these marbles! Colorful, transparent, with or without stripes... Let's play?

wow,,, this is a song that makes me wish i knew something, or had some special words to say,, alas, it's a wonderful if melancholy song, just remember there are two ways to look at timing,, and it's just as likely your in proper time and every else is out as the other way around,, just depends on how you want to view it,, good luck friend r
When I was a junior in high school, I read the book "Illusions" by Richard Bach. It was "that book" for me and at age sixteen I started realizing what I was capable of becoming.
I read it again twenty-five years later, and as the line in the…
Lyrics:
Don’t you bow, to kings and queens
Rise above, everything
If the devil beckons, and the angels sing
Don’t listen to, anything
The time has come, to raise your hands
C’mon everybody, take a stand
Higher, Higher, Higher, Higher…
The opening track to this year's RPM album.

I meditatively floated away with this expansive, gentle, gorgeous, peaceful piece.
Well it's sounding good so far ...cant wait to hear the whole thing....if this is you not knowing what your doing ...what the hell are you gonna come up with when you do .....from someone who really doesn't know what he's doing ......good to have you back Richard
Bullseye! This is fantastic. You have achieved some great guitar tones. The blend with piano really makes it shine.
Sounds great Richard, I look forward to hearing the album in entirety.
You are on a roll, so keep on rock'n.
I love your idea of trying things you have never used. It's inspiration to keep learning. This was really a beautiful and haunting track. I like it!!!
You are more than a simple piano player. You are a great musician.
This is really cool mate
I dig this composition. It speaks to me and gets beneath my skin. Great delivery. Nice mix down/mastering job. Rock on!

Oh music to get lost in and I loved the peaceful video of your diving adventure over there.
Sooo gorgeous Rik!
Perfect atmosphere Rik! I went to the cemetery above Omaha Beach, Normandy, France. Devastatingly sad! Cheers Bethan
Very sad isn't it? Makes you reconsider everything.... Another good one.
