"Let Sleeping Dogs Lie Part 4" is an enchanting embodiment of the contemporary new-age genre, where serenity and introspection find harmony in the form of music. Its soulful piano passages, presented with sublime sensitivity, invite listeners into a realm of profound tranquility. The gentle melody, akin to a brook running over smooth pebbles, carries with it a sense of peaceful constancy, of calm, of accepting and reveling in the quiet rhythm of existence. The piano, at the heart of this piece, sings a narrative filled with warmth and comfort, mirroring the passive quietude of the title, evoking the reassuring images of a peaceful world at rest.

Underlying the piano, the atmospheric pads open up an expansive aural landscape. This ambient sonic texture weaves an intimate tapestry that not only complements the piano but also transcends it, creating a sound that is vast and endless, akin to the echo of distant stars or the gentle sigh of a sleeping earth. These dreamy undertones are like light brush strokes on an already mesmerizing canvas, adding depth, space, and a certain mystique. "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie Part 4" is more than just music - it's a meditative journey that offers a glimpse into the gentle, restful corners of our consciousness, a beautifully calming interlude from the chaos of daily life.

This is a first drop in my idea to release something here every Saturday. This one is about accepting idea that you can't control huge events or external forces, like ocean. But instead, what you can do - you can navigate. All this music is my emotional diary. Which is why I hope nobody's listening, but if you are, please keep it to yourself.

01 - Fountain of Life

This piece is a fresh and innovative piano concerto that marries the elegance of classical form with a vibrant modern rhythm. At a lively tempo of around 117 BPM, it infuses a dynamic pulse into the traditional concerto structure. The piano’s melodic lines dance playfully with the orchestra, incorporating syncopations and contemporary grooves. The result is a unique fusion of the classical and the modern, making “Piano Concerto I” both familiar and refreshingly new.

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.
