very, very nice. Gotta be my favorite instrument for solos. Good luck and good experience with the RPM. I did it just once and it was the best month of my musical life.

What a gorgeous piece! I actually prefer this one with the longer reverb as it gives the impression of not intruding on the conversation, but listening to it from a distance. Just beautiful Richard!
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…

High quality wav samples over 320 bps will work for you , they are live people playing with the ear and skill to do it well enough to sell.But there are free samples out there for most systems. I will take a look see and drop ya a link , if i find a good one.

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…
RPM #2, first thank you all for the comments on rpm 1,, once again i forage into the world of midi orchestration,,, while i am beginning with strings and woodwinds,, this is a section from a string piece i am working on,, that somehow led me to…
rpm 3,,cello,cello, contrabass, and bass clarinet,, im really getting to love that clarinet!,, thanks for listening , and please send any comments,suggestions, thoughts richard
rpm #4,, i love watching the local birds,, in winter they seem a bit more eager, in my imagination,, they must spend more of their time sitting around their wood stoves, munching on seeds and telling stories of summer days, all the while as the…
Dedicated to my sweet wife's loving mother, Millie, who is moving into hospice.
She is a very thoughtful person, centered on peace and justice.
The song has a guitar part that symbolizes her. The quieter echo part is Wally, who passed years ago.
Doug,, very beautiful,,, i just had experience with the hopsice network myself with my mother... Our experience was that they did a wonderful job -- with what is in fact one of the hardest of times -- for patient and family... my mother (for whom the song Geneieve is dedicated on this years RPM) anyway my mother once made the comment to me as we were sitting outside the home where she passed away,, she made a comment about how despite what was happening, she was glad and felt blessed to be meeting so many fine and loving people,,in fact she said she would not have wanted to miss out on making those final friendships.... anyway we found our hospice people to be very very special,, it takes a one in a million kind of person to do that kind of work...
sorry the hear of your situation,, my prayers go with you and you family
beautiful music Richard
the sun has set here on the west california coast,,, after a beautiful day,,, it's a great time to either make music or listen to it,, the glow on the mountains is a soft blue/white/green,,, a perfect time to think about and listen to this snack

wow,, just saw this on a comment,, ive never heard this,, where has acl been hiding this cool stuff? guess ill have to go looking through the back repertory,,i like the way this builds various instrumental leads over what is basically a simple pattern (that's ment as a complement,, that's what most of my stuff is about, or tries to be,,yours is really great)... very nice warm sounding clarinet? im not sure..... very well done,, ill have to go spend some time in your library
Last Christmas my collaborator and fuzzy inspiration Charlie passed over the rainbow bridge - he was very old for a ferret 9 or 10 years old. He was adopted from a shelter and remained a touch-me-not independent ferret all his life with us…

I'm a sucker for orchestras and strings. <3 absolutely love the feel of the song

very, very nice. Gotta be my favorite instrument for solos. Good luck and good experience with the RPM. I did it just once and it was the best month of my musical life.
This is just about perfect for me and I can't help thinking that your description would make a perfect short animation. If only I had the skill.
Absolutely gorgeous piece, Richard. w;-)

Excellent!
Cello is a cool tool.
Solo pieces are a lot harder than full orchestra, in many ways indeed. But this sounds very nice.
Really beautiful music.
Deep tones.
Carried away by this one Richard. Good luck on the RPM, might have to wait and hear the album as a finished piece. :) No spoliers!
Wonderful composition Richard!
These midi tracks are excellent.
Another great track mate.
Excellent track.
Beautiful Richard.
