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
looks like something from my local biotanic garden,, is the color true? i like the feeling of this piece...not sure how to say it, but i like it..... go figure,,,,
They are noisy little bugs aren't they?
Nice rhythmic playing here Chris. beautifully done!
I have a fair sized collection of bugs and insects,
which I thought would interest the grand children one day, but of course, they can't be heard.
Oh, look at his dear little face!
Interesting chipping noises I heard in there.
A very vibration rich, most eerie, especially the long, fading note at the end.
is a mash featuring Benjamin Smith (piano), Paul Mimlitsch x 2 (bass recorder and bass clarinet), Lydia Busler-Blais (horn), and myself (percussion) – all tracks manipulated – the tuning is nominally 12 equal, however, there is enough pitch bending…
Ooo, I see this one is going to be an epic! headphones in place, ok go .....
That was a journey into the secret hive! Beautifully done. I can appreciate the work that goes into ambient music, too clever for me!
an ambient piece using 19 edo + harmonic series tuned synthesizers, 17 edo electric guitar, and unconstrained pitch metallic objects (I was allowed to sample a metal work shop).
there should be dialogs about these songs in chat areas on each page sometimes, betting that is what is going on at the site of yours where you post. :)

If the baby falls
The crib shall age empty
all of the earth
which ever lived
creation everyday
if the baby falls
it would leave the crib quite solo
The sources who join to nurture cries and giggles
Won't change diapers anymore
If our baby falls…

The lyric is ambiguous certainly but reading Evan's explanation, it is now clear. Thanks!
The guitar playing is gorgeous.....
More of that please, she said cheekily!
Second movment,, perhaps a little rough,, comments welcome,,, 6/11 Third mov is now done,,, and very very different from the first two,, scares me a little

Hi Richard, keeping the peace in space is all guitar and percussion. I used guitar effects quite liberally on Brian's, Norm's and my parts. The opening is Brian stretched to 8x and the organ-like part in the last 3rd is Brian's guitar backwards in part and the the 2 chord set copied and pasted a few times.

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…
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
Piano Sonata One -- the Mexican Sonata
1st movment here
2nd finished -- but waiting its turn
3rd in concept form (much to think about)
Dedicated to Ralph who passed away last year during the RPM month of February,, The slower middle section…

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments:
This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.
Backyard Ghost sent me something to work on...i added my own touch and arranged it...i sent it to him and he added another of his touches and rearranged it and You've Had My Tears is the end result...we both love this collaboration...expect more…

Would fave again still inspiring .......

Sorry Chris, those comments were me, I'm always forgetting to say! Bethan

Thay sound real, are they? Well played!

Gorgeous!
Very nice
good jam

Trance inducing, love it
It certainly resonates! Are the delicate hammering noises the forge sounds? Then there are the buzzings! Or am I mistaken? This is very well done.
Weird and wonderful!
Different and interesting.
neat-0! Illegal Alien
Yes - I love it.
majestic!
Suspenseful and Interesting. M O R E W I N E

I can't play it :-0 OR delete it...
Nice - I was wondering where you've been!! - and at least your song plays :-)
Actually, if you wanted, I could try a treatment like Keeping the Peace in Space on one of your piano pieces, if you'd like.

cool!!
all of this sounds so real!
wow~~!!
I love this~!! excellent!! How did you get the advant guard sounds?
this is beautiful and moving. I wish I could play piano this well. Awesome work Richard!
Rockin!!
nice piece - good progression - does sound western
this is so expressive, especially once the piano comes in.
if you wish for me to take down my re-mix of your piece let me know.
excellent!! I really like this collab! The voice perhaps could be a touch louder other than that this is excellent!
wow. You have captured what St. Casimir cemetery sounds like at 4 am on a spooky fall night...
Man alive!! this is astounding!! what a trip!
As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

this is wonderfully sad and mysterious!
beyond just excellent! This is a trip through space to another place, time, and existence! I can't say enough!
