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!

beautiful playing,, the guitar work is very rich/full,,, when the vocals come in it's almost like two different pieces,,, your voice matches the music style of this music very well... nicely done

very nice.....can you jump too?... does sound like fun

wonderful!!! great teamwork... beautifully done

nice,,, i like this,, where did you get the tin synth? i play a bit of the whistle myself, but i have not seen such a synth,,, do they feature different types like clark and susato? anyway well done Richard

interesting,,,,, i am enjoying this on a late friday eve,,,, it's a piece of music one can get lost in,,, i like the way it develops the sound scape

so ahhhhhh are you a usc fan or just a fan of? anyway.....this is smooookin,,,, if this is what whiskey does for one,,, i'll have to go find myself some.... i guess only being a beer imbiber explains my own sounds..... well played/sounded?

Very nice Mr Road

very beautiful

Woooooooow great creativity,, and a very cool sound/piece.... after listening to your songs,, i think you must have a lot of fun coming up with music

your right not sure how the title works,,, but then again it can be a very personal thing (naming a song)well done

very unique and interesting!! think i'll go check out more of your work,,,

lota fun here,,, very very cool

well done!! interesting and poetic i have wondered where you have been?/ i agree with Vaisvil,, this is quite textured,, a piece that needs to be listened to more than once, like seeing a movie on the second or third time and you realize how much you missed on previous times... well well done!!

well done friend,,, it's wonderful piece, and your orchestration it very interesting,,, some questions (and i'll make these as public, in case anyone else is interested in the tech aspects) did you have a digital piano score,, or working from printed manuscript first or perhaps you already know this memorized and broke it out from that? about how long did this process take??? It's a cool thought/work,,, and though i have not done this myself ,, yet,, it looks like a lot of fun.... once again well done,, i am constantly amazed at your creative/musical talents... Richard

excellent

very cool,, i like your sound/style

very nice

very cool,,,, and very nice team work

very very nice....

nice
