Very effective, highly expressive. In a 2049 type way. :)

Wicked Kubrick esque tones bro!!!! Very cool!!!!

cool track! definitely Vangelis inspired, really enjoyed it

Fantastic and very exciting work. I love the wonderful mood and sound painting.

This atmosphere is lush! So enigmatic and beautiful at the same time..

A quick improvisation, which is a variation on one of my own themes, but using an MPE controller with an 8 voice, 24 osc analog synth and a bit of an OTT effects unit for wishy-washy ambient soundscapes.
I chose the name "Evangelina", because it sounds a bit similar to "Vangelis" a little like the track itself...
This is effectively my first WYSIWYG track, what you see, in the picture of the gear on my desk, is what you're getting...
Instrument: MFB Synth Pro 8 voice VCO 24 oscillator MPE compatible synth.
Controller Keyboard: Keith McMillen K-Board Pro 4 (MPE)
Effects: MOOER Ocean Machine 

No plugins were used in the DAW,  just a bit of EQ and mastering (light compression).

Its not a Vangelis theme, but I was trying to get some of that B.R./Vangelis/CS80 vibe in there, because that is what you do with a vintage-sounding 8 voice analogue polysynth with extra expression controls, isn't it?

Every Step Of The Way

This is my Covid Project.
Up until recently I reckon I was the only person on the planet not to have experienced the dreaded virus!
Anyway, I finally caught it while trying to record this song. All fairly mild but it lingered a while, and affected my voice a bit. 
This song has been knocking around for so long now I haven't the heart to do any more re-recording :) So ........ up it goes.
PS all better now ....... eventually!

One Face in a Million

Just acoustic guitar and voice this time.
It's been a while since I've written/ recorded anything in an acoustic latin style (I've been obsessed with bossa nova for years)- so here goes ............ it may be a little more Ilfracombe than Ipanema, but hope you enjoy :)
Here's a youtube video to go with the track:

This is the last in the Cloudlines series (Just realised I've been putting this collection together for more than 6 years!) 
A dreamlike series of ambient instrumentals featuring warm melodies, acoustic guitars (both nylon and steel strung), heavily processed electric guitars and a shimmering wash of synths.
A mix of the familiar, the nostalgic and the experimental.
The whole series is also available on my Bandcamp page.
Thanks for listening .......
Richard :)
PS a new long term project is on it's way.

Cloudlines No'12 (The Last)

Ages ago, while trawling Spotify, I stumbled on this song by Luke Doucet, a Canadian singer - songwriter(and great guitarist!). 
I immediately loved the guitar part and the lyrics.
It seemed like it would be fun (and a challenge) to learn the song - just guitar and voice, and upload it between bigger projects. Hoping I've done it justice :)

Wallow (Cover)

What do you get when you combine 80s synthesizers, lounge and the music from the background of the television guide? You get Smooth Plan, the first single from the in-progress EP "Ideas and Innovations", a throwback inspired by the chilled out sounds of Library Music circa 1988 to 1992.

Ideas and Innovations

Smooth Plan

Just a simple Poly Patch on the Behringer UB-XA.  Dry at first, then with Blue Cat Cat Cat Chorus and Valhalla Supermassive, both Free Plug Ins
