The Year of Music project began in May 2011  there has been a new musical creation posted each day.  Each new piece is created in real-time.   The project is currently in its 13th year.  To date, there are over 4700 "Daily Doses" in the project.

Richard’s live performances take audiences on a journey away from the busy world and into a calmer, less chaotic mental and emotional environment.  Drawing on his classical training, jazz and pop familiarity, Richard creates music thru an improvisational process.  His music has been called a soothing elixir for the soul, mind and body.

In 2016, composer/contemporary pianist Richard Carr moved to the Monterey Bay area of California after living in his native St. Louis area since 2005.  Richard spent 10 years working as a pianist in the night clubs, hotels and restaurants of the French Quarter of New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina.  He has released twenty-fiven solo albums and one collaboration in the contemporary instrumental /new age genre.

Aware of the meditative quality of his music, Richard has been exploring the healing side of his music.  Working in the holistic community of St. Louis, Richard developed the I AM Creative Sessions. These sessions are personal sessions in which Richard creates music for the client’s intention or focus.  In essence, he creates a soundtrack for the intention.
  
Currently Richard's electronic keyboard set-up includes Kurzweil PC3x and PC4x,  StudioLogic Numa 2-88,and the Roland boutique synths JP-08 and JX-03.

Jeff Herge, has been composing New Age music for performances since 1988. In 2008, Jeff won the Piano Heaven Gold Award. In 1995, Jeff was nominated as the Washington Area's Best New Age artist by the Washington Area Music Association and members. Music critic Mike Joyce of the Washington Post wrote that "Herge's self-titled release is a stricly piano affair...his own spacious themes often bring to mind the romantic musings of George Winston and Liz Story."

Early on, Jeff was commissioned on a project to use his music behind an imagery tape by Dr. Patricia Webbink for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for a White House presentation. Other projects Jeff performed was a performance on the cable show "Masters in the Hall" a program on the Fairfax Access Cable Channels. Performances of his compositions are featured on radio programs both nationally and internationally. Examples of radio stations and programs playing his work are on a program titled "Breezes", a Worldwide Syndicated New Age Radio Network, "Music Choice", a National Syndicated Daily 24 Hour New Age Cable Channel; "Environmental Directions", an award-winning international radio series airing in over 25 million homes on commercial, NPR, APR, American Indian stations in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Sri Lanka.

Jeff's music was commissioned for a TV commercial due to air on MTV, A&E, BET, Discovery Channel, and Lifetime. Jeff also performed at an AIDS benefit, various piano recitals, and awards banquets. Jeff has also performed as a showcase artist at the Route One South Music Conference in Richmond, Virginia. New Leaf, a prominent international new age music distributor, just picked up Herge's debut self titled album. P.J. Birosik from the New Age Retailer said "When one thinks of this type of music, such established names as Narada artists David Lanz and Michael Jones pop up instantly. Wonder no more, for...Herge's debut bodes well for the talent of both himself and his peers." The Baltimore Resources said "Reminiscent of George Winston. Herge succeeds in striking chords, both on the piano and in the listener's heart." Pat Nugent with New Age Voice once said "With this performance, one can tell that Herge has a promising future." Music Monthly said "Find your way to this release. It's inspiring...." In addition, the acclaimed Peter Kater once said that Jeff's music is "very, very nice". Herge's currently in production for a music video for his song "Jeffrey's Theme" and for his debut single for his next album; release date unknown.
