Just a note to all my fellow AToners,, back up, back up,, back up,, i just spent 5 days working with a down pc, i did have everything backed up but it was a bit scary,, and if anyone has issues with sonar and motu products,,i might have some hard earned help if you ever need it,, take care all and BACK UP everyday R

As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments: This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.

Loved this. Thanks for the trip. Also thanks for the comment on Call Me Crazy. I've had alot of computer issues the last few weeks and haven't been able to be part of this wonderful music community. Glad to have a moment to enjoy it. You're quite the composer, sir. Would love to collaborate on something sometime, if that would interest you. I don't just do country, by the way.

A lovely performance Richard.

Beautiful piano playing! Those piano notes definitely sound like rain drops!

beautiful first movement of your piano sonata Richard

Stunningly beautiful!! Especially that middle section

Awesome.

Breath-taking!

Beautiful Richard very nicely played, really cool.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! w;-)

Beautiful!! In composition and execution.

...VERY nice work here. Thanks for taking the time to listen!

...beautiful.

More Doors! *Excellent*

The wind of perfection blows in your direction Richard. This is real graceful.

very pleasant composition, and a great orchestation. although choirs might lack a bit of depth, mostly in the graves, there is really nothing wrong with those you've used..

Try Soundsonline.com with Quantum Leap East West Programs, they will blow your mind. They are mostly orchestral stuff, and realistic instruments outside synth, but i think there are plenty of synth things on the same site. if i did catch your question correctly hopefully i answered that same question.

Totally gorgeous!

Doug,, very beautiful,,, i just had experience with the hopsice network myself with my mother... Our experience was that they did a wonderful job -- with what is in fact one of the hardest of times -- for patient and family... my mother (for whom the song Geneieve is dedicated on this years RPM) anyway my mother once made the comment to me as we were sitting outside the home where she passed away,, she made a comment about how despite what was happening, she was glad and felt blessed to be meeting so many fine and loving people,,in fact she said she would not have wanted to miss out on making those final friendships.... anyway we found our hospice people to be very very special,, it takes a one in a million kind of person to do that kind of work... sorry the hear of your situation,, my prayers go with you and you family beautiful music Richard

the sun has set here on the west california coast,,, after a beautiful day,,, it's a great time to either make music or listen to it,, the glow on the mountains is a soft blue/white/green,,, a perfect time to think about and listen to this snack

beautiful piece of music,, with a lyric of heart, and Very,,,,, nice playing

ok ok i like it!!!!! very creative!!!

evocative,,, and a bit scary,, like something i would expect to hear in an end of the world movie.... well/creatively mixed

i don't know the story,, but i plan to look into it.... the music/tone/arrangement is wonderful as usual,, yve got some cool inspirations going,,, R

nice piece

hi there back again,, at about 6:30ish,, when the vocals begin,,, they are very light i have a difficult time hearing them,,can't really hear the words,,, and i would like to,, this is a great mood piece

very nice

Peter,,your music is soooooo rich,, the sound is full,, your lyrical writing is so far beyond my simple understanding,, i am always in awwwwwwwww.... i always look forward to hearing from you both in your music and your words Richard

fun piece

very nice Tim,,, sometimes i feel that life is a series of "day to days" .. a very poetic piece,,, you express something that i definitely, and i think we all feel at times ,, well done,,, i really like this,, Richard

very nice,, i like the way you explore around an idea

wow,, just saw this on a comment,, ive never heard this,, where has acl been hiding this cool stuff? guess ill have to go looking through the back repertory,,i like the way this builds various instrumental leads over what is basically a simple pattern (that's ment as a complement,, that's what most of my stuff is about, or tries to be,,yours is really great)... very nice warm sounding clarinet? im not sure..... very well done,, ill have to go spend some time in your library

nice, i enjoyed this

very well done

very interesting,,, thanks for the link,, i see that the musette is an instrument similar to hurdy gurdy or bagpipe,, what i read is quite interesting i assume this is synth? if so which are you using?? im on my 4th listen,, it's a fun piece.. well done Richard

very cool,,,,, actually only a few K yes? been a few years since i was in astrophysics,,, actually i am a physicist by trade geo rather than astro,,, but hey,, this is a fun piece

A+,, an interesting visit to the keyboard of imagination,,, i think this is my favorite of your sonatas that i have listened to,,, On a personal note,, since i have been listening to your music, and some of the other piano work on AT,, i have decided to try my first sonata,,, we will see that that turns out,, anyway well written/done R

great classic type rock, i agree the lead guitar is wonderful,,,, im impressed by the way the four of you do this,, was it live or separately put together??
