In response to an open collaboration invitation from Dirk Maassen I could not resist the opportunity to add some guitar swells and drones to accompany Dirk's beautiful piano performance and composition. 

It was an absolute pleasure for me working on this collaboration. Thank you Dirk....

So when I saw that Dirk let us download his gorgeous song, I jumped at the chance to add even a little bit of myself to it. It's not perfect, but I think the violin adds a beautiful touch. I hope you enjoy it Dirk. Thanks for letting me have fun with it.

And for those of you who aren't familiar with my work, I also play the piano as well.

Thank you so much for listening.

Dirk Maassen & Kayll Frappier - Les Jours D'été (Collab)

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.
