Glad to finally be getting some listening in. I've been meaning to check out your RPM stuff this year, and I'm going to have to listen to this whole sequence/work in one sitting to get it all in. This is sounding marvelous, Richard.

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

I am a morning person (well... Wake up happy person).... and so is the boy....

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…
Cant sleep....
Thought I'd write a Tune....
Had to be fairly Quiet on this, so as not to wake the Baby...
Hope you Like it.

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

Piano music created at the command line on a Linux laptop.
These are the first tunes I composed after switching from performing to writing. I don't own a piano…
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
