Très belle mélodie, bravo Richard ! 😍 💐 🙏 🍀 🎶 

Beautifully arranged and very peaceful sound. Great Guitar play

Another lovely track, exquisite playing again.

Just love how your music transports to another time and place. The guitar voicings are superb and love the flute/strings add so much.

I am honored that Maestro Rafael Serrano has arranged my composition
'A Peace of Love"
"Dedicated to Chris and Caroline".

A Peace of Love

https://soundcloud.com/negative-headphone: many keyboards, drums, percussion, mix, production, artwork.
https://soundcloud.com/ruizzoidman21centurions: original theme, composition, bass, rhythm guitar, drums.

Intimate jam got me this bass theme, which I developed with geometrical tones and fractal rhythmic, and offered to my old friend Negative Headphone. You should know his fabulous response on any musical style, and here is a proof of it. Enjoy!

Fractal Shenanigans (with Negative Headphone)

This tune began with just the upright bass (played on keyboard) & flute part (played with real flute), that were inspired by an old song that Mark liked a lot by an English Jazz trio called The Herbaliser.  Once he had it in progress, he asked me & Chris to see if we could contribute.

I added the trippy high pitch reverse guitar effect, and the bluesy lead guitar in the middle section (thus the title, Blue In The Middle). And Chris added some delightful atmospheric guitar and effects, as well as the Portishead influenced drum track. Mark was then inspired to add the background echo guitar sound in the middle section, and a bit of percussion and minor sound effects. 

Then Mark laid a really fine mix on it and I did the final mastering.  I'm glad Mark brought me in on this one, I really enjoy the ambience of it.

Hey Friends,

Have to take some time to take care of family right now. My apologies if you have been waiting on a reply to an email. I promise I will get back to everyone. It’s just going to take a little longer. Hope you are all enjoying the summer. Every day is a gift. Enjoy it. 

Peace and love,
Rayna

Taking some time.

Dedicated to Ozzy, RIP

I’m moving on to Sunnyvale 
I’ve had enough of life’s travails 
I’ll pack it in, forward my mail

I’ll hang with Ricky and the boys
Raise some hell, make a little noise
Drink all day, if that’s my choice 

A shed like bubs is all I’ll need
A couple kitties there to feed
Drink some vodka, smoke some weed

I’ll eat fish sticks and play the blues
Lay in the street till I come to
Make hot cakes on a stolen barbecue 

The simple life is all I seek
Party with the boys 8 days a week
Drink till I fall down, smoke till I reek

Sunnyvale

Two Steps Ahead (Remix)

Way overdue for something new but I've been living in exile without the usual, albeit modest, setup I'm used to. So this might be pretty rough. And it's full of the usual horror at political realities and way full of schmaltzy velveeta. 

Guitarist note:  I don't have amps at present and was struggling to find a decent direct sound. There is a *free* VST plugin by Neural Amp DSP and online libraries of tone prints, also free, that came to the rescue. Highly recommended.

it's alright for you as long as it's alright
you don't mind what they do in the broad daylight

it never could be you

but you don't see the way you're blinded
they'll never drag you down to the places meant for those

do you feel the color of your soul
when you live with love suspended hiding in a hole
the moment is yours but you don't believe 
you won't believe what lies there ripening 
growing in your mind without you knowing

now it could be you

and as you feel the weight of the binding
you know they're dragging you down to the places meant for those

to liberate the light of every heart and mind
you can say it never paying any price

there's a little part of everyone that knows 
we're only playing separate lives 
till true faith arrives

if there's every gonna be a change 
let it start right here

you know it could be you

It Could Be You

Visage (Lyrics/Paroles)

J'ai aperçu son visage, mais ce n'était qu'un mirage, 
Comme un reflet dans l'orage, une illusion de passage,
Son regard m’a fait naufrage, dans un monde sans rivage,
Où l’amour n’est qu’un langage, perdu dans le vent sauvage.

Elle danse dans mes pensées, comme une ombre sans visage, 
Chaque nuit je veux l’aimer, mais je n’ai que son mirage,
Un soupir, un doux présage, puis le vide en héritage, 
Je poursuis son doux sillage, prisonnier de son image.
