Hi Richard, the tuning I used for the Magic of Belief has much more than major or minor and I used almost all of the. The opening plays with the chords CDG, CEbG CEb^G (a "neutral" third about half way between minor and major) and CEG (except the E is a purer 3rd than 12 equal)
The main motive bottoms out at what my ears are telling me is a neutral interval against a D neutral chord (but I'm not 100% sure, I didn't work it out - could be D minor)

well this is a bit awkward, but i have been chatting with Nosda Cariad about the various plus and minus of sound settings ie reverb,,, sometimes i feel like i have used too much, as sort of a crutch. in this version the reverb has been toned down…

i was trying to work on a piece for a shark video of mine, but this is what came out instead,, my piano moments collections are the small musical threads that emerge amongst/while i am working/thinking about other things,,,
First of my rpm traks,, this year i am going to try to learn a bit about composing for midi orchestra, with that in mind i have began (in jan) to read several books on midi orchestration, orchestration and counterpoint,,, while these will probably…
Richard, I have enjoyed every second of your magical journey through midi. It has been utter bliss to hear all of them together.
Congratulations on a superb album.
Cheers Bee

i have had a few times when AT would not accept an upload,, dropped the ball as they say, i logged out then back in and it worked on the second try,,, very nice
This is a piece Norm and I collaborated on last year. We hope you will enjoy it.
two improvised 12 string guitar lines
bass line ( I took a few takes)
improvised piano
Norm's percussion in Tumbao rhythm
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, over the top and off the chart (what ever that means), this music creates a wonderful feeling,, it walks in beauty as the Navajo might say
(my apologizes to any real such persons,, i am currently on a tony hillerman kick)
well done friends R
this is an amazing work,, a standout (at least my opinion) amonst your many many fine pieces...
as Alister says it is well balanced,, and oh so interesting,, the fade in and out of the guitar and ? is very very brilliant, it really pulls you in,,, well well done R
very fine, the underlying drums are really cool, what sort of synth/program are you using? and does one go about learning how to do such fine work,, any suggestions would be appreciated

This is a piece that uses MOTU Ethno 2. All but percussion and voice were performed my Fender Mustang and midi recorded via Roland GR-20. The piece uses the Almak tuning included in Ethno 2. [Amlak recurrent sequence (x^2 = x + 1/3), as a matrix…
did a remix of latest B-52s (ex B-52's) song "Funplex". i admit i didn't really take the time to polish this, so it might have some flaws here and there, but it was fun to do and after all, is this not what matters most? :)
and you can…
This is a little piece dedicated to the lost world island of Socotra that grabs a lot of instrumentation from across Asia with little discrimination - the melodic instruments use Afshari with the exception of the Jaw harps which use 9-tET Sorog.

A quick little improv. Too lazy to grab a guitar so just used the lap steel. I think it still has the same strings on it from…
im sitting alone in my home,, it's near midnight and im listening to this a amazingly cool piece,, this is also very rich, your music is evocative and amazingly able to carry/pull me the listener along into its soundscape,, wonderful .. question,, it seems to cut out about 20 sec or so before the cut ends?

Lovely orchestral piece!
This is a beautiful piece!!

Stopped back for another listen.
Taceant ad preces motum heri an ..?
~... Así, como el eco pasado~
The pipes and the little Latin flourishes in the melody reminds my of Ennio Morocone. Only slightly though because it also sounds very unique :)
Missed this one too? What? How beautiful! Richard, you have a beautiful gift. w;-)
How did I miss this?! Gorgeous! w;-)
Welcome back, richard. And again, many thanks for your kind words. And yes, you are right about the strings/piano/percs blend.
I love this piece. There's something very special about it.
Overture indeed! Bravo!
This is a masterpiece!
Oh my, this is gorgeous!
Missed this one somehow. Gorgeous as always!
