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.    All creations after January 1, 2013 are on SoundCloud.  The rest of the project will become available on SoundCloud within the next few months.  To date, there are close to 3000 "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 fourteen 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 has 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 PC2x and PC3x, Nord Stage 2-88,  StudioLogic Numa 88,and the Roland boutique synths JP-08 and JX-03.

Electronic Experiments in Sonic Alchemy & Sensual Chaos. Abstract Ambient Beats interlaced with Hypnotic, Industrial Soundscapes and Atmospheric, Metaphysical Dissonance.
