Hi Richard, keeping the peace in space is all guitar and percussion. I used guitar effects quite liberally on Brian's, Norm's and my parts. The opening is Brian stretched to 8x and the organ-like part in the last 3rd is Brian's guitar backwards in part and the the 2 chord set copied and pasted a few times.

Another "Love gone bad" song.
baby we've been here before
these selfish games you play
they cut me to the core
if only you'd open your eyes
If only you'd open your heart...
Chorus:
You and me
are not the same
and i wish you fell for me
the way…

very nice,,, also a gentle wander through your chosen cords( as i just mentioned about "wind voices, the song following yours on the uploads),,, pretty,, well done!!
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
I was inspired by the music of a friend of mine, their band is called Aradhna and you might like to check them out. I've attempted to compose a song in the Hindi language and here it is.

On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…
There's a few things going on here in this little all MIDI experiment. First, I wanted to
show an example of artistic clipping to go with my current posts in the forums on the

all midi? it sounds pretty good,, when does the popcorn start coming to go with this great movie track? very well done, i will have to read your stuff in the forum..

Ok, so I'm just a percussionist, and if your only tool is a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. I get it. And I also get that our songs are our children, so we should be very careful about whom we let them play with.

I wanted to start composing in the "classical" or "romantic" style for piano. This is the first movement of a sonata fantasia, its a sonata because it has three movements, but a fantasia because it doesnt have the exact structure of a sonata.
Well done friend,,, very lyrical,, i am just now trying to do my first sonata,, you give me inspiration!! this is very pretty,, how long/how many iterations did this take??

Really lovely. I feel like the musical equivalent of a caveman with a tuned stick when I hear real musicians like you perform!
Nice! - I like how it turns into a prog rock piece almost about 1:40 ish
What beautiful melodies!
Oh, and what a beautiful direction it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, brilliant! sounds like 4 movements-in-one, and the progression is so well balanced and arranged, it's almost "invisible" - bravo!
dis is da bomb.
1 min 40 so pretty, love that. Most attractive and delightful music. Thanks.
I would love to listen to this while visiting an art gallery. Excellent work man. Don't ever doubt yourself.
strong, excellent
Oh...I think you DO know what the heck you're doing. Agree with Vaisvil - this is beautiful...sublime.
Actually, if you wanted, I could try a treatment like Keeping the Peace in Space on one of your piano pieces, if you'd like.

The opening is Brian stretched to 8x and the organ-like part in the last 3rd is Brian's guitar backwards in part and the the 2 chord set copied and pasted a few times.
this is beautiful and moving. I wish I could play piano this well. Awesome work Richard!
Rough or not, it's beautiful. Sounds like you DO know what the heck you're doing :) w;-)
THIS is what i call well played...i play piano based on my ears, man i never studied musical theory and stuff...beautiful song, enjoyed a lot, very good album, congratulations
