The poem is by Jason Kirk Bartley
This is in 19 edo and I play drums using a Simmons SMDP1 drum pad. The quality of poem is a lot higher than my music which is kind of an odd psychedelic blues not usually associated with the subject.
psychedelic for sure,,, this evokes some interesting images,,, listening to this which is great,, i would also guess you are a big doors fan, they blended such themes musically

a 13 minute improvisation I played on a newly tuned Steinway grand piano at my Church. The only audience was my Zoom H2 – which is probably good since there are a few glaring “misses” in the performance. I love the joy of just playing but it does…

the second theme at about 1:40 is lovely, and i like the way it changes at about 3:10 or so, sort of climbing out into a different plain,, very pretty riffs in the 5 min and on, i like it when you break away from the cord structure to individual keys/notes,,,, at times through this i can hear the slight pauses where it seems like your thinking/planing what direction to take,, OUR DOING GREAT! it's a fun musical journey and im happy to be along... you have a lot of really nice small themes in this,, excellent! oh and by the way for many years i played on a churches concert steinway,, loved it, especially because most churches have such a lovely sound scape to make music in , not to mention the also wonderful light that typically filters in,, ah a small bit of heaven (guess that makes sense though) well anyway excellent Chris

As you know, I love this piece. It is so rich and complicated, that it is mind-blowing. And while I am not certain this is the final mix for this (it really should all be acoustic, shouldn't it?)it is so delicate and intricate from a metric point of view that we (by "we" I mean all of us who hope to be involved in the final version of this)will need to spend some time together in advance to decide exactly how to tap our feet to this.
Love it.
This particular broadcast was talked out about a half hour before I went to my 'You Screwed up' meeting at school. I'd barely woken up and I was ready to Talk Hard about Life (It's capatilized because it's the only one YOU'VE got. That means it…
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.

excellent.. very well done.
Oh, it sounds lovely! Now I know what you bought that day! Cheers Bee
ok! I enjoyed it.
Well, that thawed us out nicely! I have been out of it all for February but nice to be back listening again.
Awesome sounds there Chris! Luv Bee
psychedelic for sure,,, this evokes some interesting images,,, listening to this which is great,, i would also guess you are a big doors fan, they blended such themes musically
interesting!
Free flowing musical expression and lots of ideas here, like a deconstructed Let It Be in places.
and Chris i ment YOUR Doing Great,, sometimes my fingers and the keyboard don't quite line up

That took me on a ride while folding the washing.....Thanks
Perfect for a Sunday afternoon
Interestingly different from this: http://alonetone.com/fuzzfilth/tracks/ditd
Nice! Sounds like GR20 sax sounds?
Lovely sounds!
Neat project and awesome sounds!
Almost the song should have a Bach invention playing counterpoint in key,..at least I can here something like that,..over all most astounding ,..
Nice! I dig the video too... it has a nice relaxed somber feel to it
thanks for reminding me,,, very nice Chris,,,looks like a web cam shot from today,, is it such?

the problem here is that this IS the truth. and that is sad. Nice podcast!
love the deep percussion and sexy tune!
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.
