so did you know when I googled that statement in the comment I got a book... all that we hold dear.. I am sure you knew that.. . such pleasantry here in these sounds and music as this song is.
This is an extremely interesting piece, since microtonal music is still a bit of a mystery to me, though i play some turkish and persian pieces. Well-played too!
I went to the Brookfield Zoo with my cousin and nephew a while back. It was a place her and I had gone as children. As it turned out all of the animals in captivity made me sad. Very sad really. And this gorilla became a focus of those feelings…

A few of you know I accidentally wiped out one of my SD cards that had all my works in progress on it. I'm just starting to piece it all together again - A slow process. This was supposed to be a reprise to "In My Head", but ended up being in…
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
this is one inventive piece! what a mix - are you sure you didn't grow up south of I-10 in Louisiana? You have that Cajun blues thing down and who'd expect you could get oboe and bassoon to work so well with it! wow.
Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…
Yes, as a matter of practicality one performs with volume greater than the actual Fender (headphones to the GR-20, amplification of the Roland GR-20 ) - although I have mixed the "normal" and "new" tunings together and in some cases that sounds nice and fairly unique.
Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-)
nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey called me a few days ago with some urgency in his voice: "I must record this before…
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
Hi, The Suicide is programmed actually and uses Kontakt sounds. I have a large number of manuscripts which I created in college and shortly after (before 90's no computer program I had could let me score reasonably). In this case, The Suicide, was scored at an upright piano and I could play it at the time. Its really easy to play.
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

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...)

this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
Hey Richard - for Rumba - the guitar tunings are standard so if you want to play along on your piano it should work. If I remember correctly Brian laid down a basic I-IV-V in D major. I put 7th chords on top of that.

This hits the spot! Well done!
Mellow good stuff. Mesmerizing!

this is very good - like the solid vocal harmonies and leads.
this is one inventive piece! what a mix - are you sure you didn't grow up south of I-10 in Louisiana? You have that Cajun blues thing down and who'd expect you could get oboe and bassoon to work so well with it! wow.
This is a great tune - I love the percussion and the deep deep sounds.
Yes, as a matter of practicality one performs with volume greater than the actual Fender (headphones to the GR-20, amplification of the Roland GR-20 ) - although I have mixed the "normal" and "new" tunings together and in some cases that sounds nice and fairly unique.
nicely done - sounds a bit floydish. Introspective Roger Waters.
all of the compositions are wonderful - I feel emotion from your work.
this is a very nice progression against a pedal point and exposition. I agree the room acoustics are really great - it sounds great!!
very classical period sounding.
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-) nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
wow - this is complicated!! and cool!

wonderful!! So this is in part classical guitar? If so great tone!
bizarrely the opening bass riff sounds like the theme to green acres - a usa 60's sitcom.
sounds like my ferrets playing!
excellent!
yes! love the sounds here
this is nice indeed!!
one of my personal favorites too :-)
Dude! You own this place!!
