two recorders and a flute get together in the back of a countryside English church late in the afternoon.....
NOTE --- you may need to turn up the volume a bit for this...

Richard thank you so much for your support. I don't have a problem with simple though it is not something I strive for. Talking to God is hampered more by my inability at the keybaord. However I could not have written that piece on my guitar. I have great respect and admiration for someone like yourself who has command of the keyboard. I have a heck of a time putting to hands together to make something. Chris
This is the first time I picked up and tried to play a guitar that is in 88 cent equal temperament - the tuning does not contain an octave. Since this was the first time I made some mistakes. Nonetheless I think it sounds interesting.
beautiful song that captures one of those special moments that find us,, touch us with the magic of family,, well played,, i have missed hearing your music of late Richard

really cool song,, missed it somehow,, but saw Kirk's comment,, and followed the trail,, your lyrics are really good, and the musical parts are very fine,, well done
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…
After Creation is an entry into the Vox Novus 15 Minutes of Fame competition for flute and marimba duet. Unfortunately the entry was not accepted for performance but undeterred I present to you a performance of the score rendered by Garritan…
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.

interesting piece,, i found it drawing me in not by note,, very Bach like in form/feel,, you say improv, is it in fact based on another piece?... in any event it's very pretty.. and does seem very Easterish to me,,, well done your friend R
I thought a microtonal piece almost completely in absynth would be a decent goal. So, I improvised bass, lead, chords, effects in 19 notes per octave against a sequence of drum loops run through effects. Then - just to see the difference I took…
interesting listen,,, very different,, im enjoying this not because it's the typical stuff, but rather because once again you are leading me off into musical directions that are new.. thanks R
Reg is in the cellar, it's early morning he is back in what seems the inevitable empty bar. To the Barman Reg sings his sad song ........................
i really like the musical underpinnings of this,, this piece has a rich full feeling,, another great story line,, like ive mentioned before, i think your a great story/word smith,,, very nice
you definitely have a new fan here,, well played,composed music all around,, if you have any videos of you preforming, id be neat to post them here,, ps gota love those guitar riffs cheers Richard
This is a short piece written for a friend who is developing a computer game for his degree. It needed to be loopable, hence the abrupt start and finish! Still a work in progress so i'd appreciate any comments about making it better
let see if i can contain myself and say this in a reserved British manner
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowieeeeeee!!
guess i can't
anyway a most amazing piece of music,, it's well written,, well,, performed,well mixed wonderful sound quality,, on my second listen,, the lyric quality/style storyline is great,, it's one of those pieces that though is fresh and new, already seems to have a classic feel.. well played

This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…
Chris, pretty nice, nice deep mellow sound on the bass,,,,the voice is also pretty good, i think i like it better than that of symphonic instruments,,,but i have not found myself doing well, ever, when trying to work with solo voice,,, i enjoyed this R
Comments on richardlaceves's stuff
Moons and pianos, man, hard to beat that. Beautiful. Very well done, Richard. I can close my eyes and see the moon. Someday I must get a piano...
Beautifully delicate piece, Richard!
I missed the eclipse the other morning, but this more than makes up for it. Beauty.
Had to download, there will be a bright moon on the lake tonight - and this one will be perfect for the dance of the moonpath on the water
nicely colored Richard. Very elegant playing.
Too beautiful for words!
brilliant, most brilliant! your motif is very evocative - and the playing is carrying a lot of emotions..
This is music to sit back and dream away... Very nice.
this is excellent
I always like stuff that just comes on from the heart based on temporal environmental influences!
very nice! P.S. - I did upload two things but took them down. they were stuff I found from February that I will never really finish.. I decided to hold off.. I have new material in the works... been too busy to get to it lately :-(
This is sooo beautiful! w;-)
it is very beautiful and peaceful Richard

Wonderful.
I really loved your complete piano sonata Richard, it's a really good and complete work!....... yes! let's do something together now!
wow !, I almost missed this. I really enjoy your piano pieces, I think the transitions are very addictive.
Sounds so lonely and melancholy. Truly lovely, beautifully played and I like the different melodies in there, very pretty.
