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…

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

From last February...
I'm not sure where I'm going - its late - I'm tired so I may be out of my mind.
several absynths
pianoteq heavily modified
session 3 drums through guitar rig
stratocastor through guitar rig
vocoded voice via korg ms2000…
impressions
4 min in -- i am feeling/discovering a hugely large sound scape, plenty of places to get lost in ones thoughts amongst the notes
7 Min in --very expansive (what syth is this?, are you creating the long drawn out notes on a keyboard?)
9 min in --- (not being used to writing this style myself) what sort of land marks, for timing, expression are you using/feeling when you do this? how will you know when you get there?
14 min and 1 beer into the work -- still keeps my interest, but i do wonder where we are headed
17 min --- this is definitely a track to listen to, not background ,, i begin to see where we might be headed..
overall interesting,,, i enjoyed this,,,as i have noticed of late you have a lot of multi interests/talents... lots for me to think about thanks R
Dark, moody and a little weird - German indie artist Black Henbanbe with his version of the mother of all English folk songs. Recommended if you like the song, drone low vocals, gothic folk ambience and psychedelic gimmicks.
dark yes,, the off beat timing and use of minors and 6ths ? cloak this old standby in a darker, sadder & less romantic side of English folklore,,, well done very interesting!
For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom!
** this could really use a tasty melody to go with…
again after the first 10 seconds a fav!!! magical,, the notes flow me over like a ??
waterfall,, swift brook,,, breeze through the palms?? well well done, there's really no comment i can make that can say how wonderful this piece is,,, acoustical magic
Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.
Im talking, she's texting
Im givin…
after the first 10 seconds this became a favorite!! when you say snowed in do you mean literally? if so i hope you get more snow days... the timing and cord structure are effervescent wow great work
every time you show yourself
i'll let your image float away
I'll let your image float away
you have no power
you have no power
you have no power over me
This is an improvisation around a few chords I found when experimenting with two simultaneous tunings on my Fender Mustang run through the GR-20 retuned to Arabic 17 note Pythagorean tuning and also as-is through my DoD FX-7
The way this…
In 2006 we visited a Japanese garden. In September of 2009 I wrote this piano piece in 17 ET and I hear a connection between the two. So I put together a video from pictures and video taken of our visit and married the two. Please visit the song…

Sometimes I leave in the fumbling beginnings because they’re amusing to me.
This would be one of those times.
yelyah - “solo piano 20100411” semi live improv
Semi live in that I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but never locked the melody in (as is probably obvious).
Starting out as a simple and awe inspiring invention, progressing to a more chaotic and demanding machine driven future. - people becoming enslaved to these devices. Feeding the machine.
Phone samples were recorded from the output jack of my…
interesting sound scape,,, which i find you often have,,, your music seems to cross that divide from merely hearing into the almost visual,,,,, well sounded/seen

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!
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
