Just a hint of the original melody, and the cascading notes in the middle, it's a different take on a classic and that's good. Thanks for not putting the rain sound fx in!
This is perfection. Thanks for sharing.
oh yea..I watched Quest For Fire again. I had forgotten most of it. I especially like the new friend they made...if ya know what I mean? Nudge nudge..wink wink. hehe. Just thinking about Rae Dawn Chong..sigh. She is the daughter of Chong of Cheech and Chong Fame.

warning!!! this is a long 10+ min instrumental
It's a piece about 4 years old that was my first attempt at using synth voices,, I am still looking for a good one,, if anyone knows.
The music itself is a tone poem, loosely dedicated to a children…
You are right on the money that I have a lot of fun coming up with my songs! Thanks for your listens and checking out my back catalog!
This song builds really nicely. It's very full and rich. I wish I could compose longer songs like this. I get tired of musical ideas really quickly and always want to move on to the next one! This would be great in a movie soundtrack. There is some slight hissing going on but nothing terribly distracting. Excellent work here!

Well, since I have not used MOTU SI I can't compare but you can since you can hear my Kontakt 4 sample set. Sonar 8.5 was / is a radical upgrade if you write more than classical music. But if one were strictly classical composition minded a better (rational!) program than Sonar to score with would make more sense to invest in than sonar 8.5 . I look forward to hearing what you are working on!

very cool and interesting piece,, i had the fortunate experience of spending 8 days in a remote and protected area 300 miles off cabo san lucas,, baja mexico,,, on all the dives i was in the water with humpback whales,,, their songs are amazing,,, mesmerizing,,, on one dive i was alone about 90 feet down on a ridge and they were so loud the water and i were vibrating!!!,,, i have to ask (though probably silly) have you seen the movie quest for fire??? if not i recommend it...on a final note i teach/practice fire by friction using indigenous stuff.. anyway thanks for the great piece... Richard
I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be in the water while the whales were singing. Amazing the vibrations don't damage other animals. I have seen Quest For Fire..thanks for reminding me actually, I wanna see it again. Wasn't Darryl Hannah in that? \
And..you teach making fires? That's a different job! heh. How many different ways are there to start one?

Frozen eyes....
and like the wail of a crying child...
she grieves for what is lost to her...
finding solace in a shared moment....
she absently brushes the thought away....
there is no beauty in the sky....
or warmth on her face…
Celebrating my 1 yr. on this site. This just came out of the blue. Nothing planned here.
Thanks to all of you for your support and listening ears!

simply beautiful,, sometimes those that just appear of their own accord can be the most amazing,, on a tech note is this only recorded in mono? i was listening, and then switched headphones but still only have mono,, love the flurrishes after the 4 min mark,,,, always a fun way to add a bit of drama,, well done,, richard
This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.

Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox

neat-o!

I love them too, and this is a cracking cover! Wonderful piano!
Excellent! Great take on a classic!
Richard, this is such a BEAUTIFUL cover! WELL done! w;-)

Love the "New Age" instrumental style. Very pretty. johnbee
Very well done.
Aengus is all Ethno 2.
This is brilliant! Would you consider doing a collaboration sometime?
Beautifully done mate excellent piano. Top job mate.
Downloaded at 18 secs. Just like the first Doors cover I heard from you, its unique enough to almost not be a cover at all - I like that.
thank you, very nice playing
