Stunningly beautiful...
I wish I listened to these in order now....
You write a real journey bro!
A storey I want to hear!
The way you condense each section into easily digestible parts is a fine skill!
Every change comes at just the right point to my ears....
Love it!

The long sustain on the piano and the Moorish progressions do give this a "warm desert" feel, very contemplative and soothing. The flute accompaniment was a nice touch... I'd love to meet the flute player, she has quite a set of lungs (smirk)... those are some long un-interrupted passages of notes... that, plus the quiet beauty of this kept me holding my breath. Nice!

Great cover! Manzarek had the ability to hold down the bass line (the Doors didn't have a bassist) and do those wonderful Bach-ish runs simultaneously. You've got that going on here too.
This is a great version, and I really enjoyed it! It's quit uncanny, but I just recently listened to Robby Krieger's "Versions", in which he covered his band's song as well. JM is great, but for some reason I always loved this one as an instrumental.
Very good piano playing, my friend!
A long over due changing of the acoustic strings led to this epic production. 40 tracks and 34 plug-ins. Good Gravy that's a boat load of tracks. All kinds of stuff happening.
Enjoy!
you spend your days and your night times
bustin' ass…
really very cool,, not to mention excellent,,, i am interested in the number of plugins you used,, what program/s are they from? i would like to move a little in the direction of this type of music...so perhaps you might have some advice??,, yes there is a lot going on!!!!! really a great piece Richard
This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.
The piano, bass…
very cooooool,, excellent playing as usual!!, i just came back from 6 miles in 90+, ice cold water and your music are perfect, i like the way you change tempos
A good friend of mine Harris Kidd filmed a short piece of work starring my other great friend (and my drummer) Zay Brignall, anywaaays he asked if I could make a soundtrack for it soooo I sat down and watched it over and over and started plunking…
If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul.
Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez.
Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along.
Enjoy.....
filled…
really nice your voice and the synth backing you go together very well,,, great lyrics,, something about this reminds me, makes me think of the Moody Blues,,, are you a fan of theirs by any chance??? anyway,, very well done!!
After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.
Bandit rides in the back of my truck
A big…
This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…
I couldn't get anything right today so I just mashed through a guitar track and overlayed vocals. But now I kind of like the song so it will have to be redone.
So sit back and relax, don't shower or shave and have a beer!
Swill A Beer
I sit…
i often find i have days like this,,,, and i also find that a beer,,, seems to smooth it over... at least for awhile,, and then... i carry on,,, each day must be lived in its own special way,, interesting way you put this kind of feeling all together,,, take care,, nice tune,,, Richard
Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
This is a cover of Richard Wright's original "night of a thousand furry toys" that i made a couple of years ago. all work, voices, instruments and recording by myself :0)
original lyrics and music: Richard Wright
very nice,, i hope to hear more... i see you are in Chile,, i was down there and Argentina , in 1980,, lovely country,, wonderful people, i went there to climb cerro Aconcagua,, made it to about 22,600 just below the summit,, but then we almost,, ended our lives, so it was a good thing we came back instead ..... but it all turned out well in the end and i am still here... i spend many wonderful weeks in Chile after the climb,, it reminds me a lot of where i live in south cal,, nice work,, good to see you here R

Oh dark and glorious! Brilliant!!
Mesmerizing arpeggios... intriguing to hear the melody rise out of it all.
Another flashing chance at bliss...I love The Doors, this is a very creative cover -

From 40 seconds onwards, This movement Soars skywards and Demands The listeners Attention!!!!! Wow!

Все композиции повествуют (рассказывают) о чём-то жизненном, важном...
Интересный инструментальный дуэт, задумчивый и филосовский...
beautiful!
Quiet,but takes me oh so deep. Beautiful

beautiful.
yes, beautiful! Lovely contemplative feel.
Nice one mate great sound.
I enjoyed this album Richard. Very pleasant. A bit of charm, some class, and some top notch piano playing.
I'm still waiting for a left handed piano. I want the keys to go the other way :)
Gorgeous!

Nice one mate. Thanks for your comments mate. This is great.
