BELEAGUERED BLOSSOMS

A CD of archival tracks picked from the Quirkworks' Vaults called "BELEAGUERED BLOSSOMS (selected artifacts 1993-2009)" was released on October 19, 2010. This recording is downloadable at selected outlets, however, the "Beleaguered Blossoms" CD booklet will also include instructions for accessing some incredible free bonus material consisting of music, videos, detailed track information and photography.

More information including ordering information, samples, album notes, bonus material contents and a look at one of the videos included in the Bonus Package can be found here.

MIND ENVIRONS

Richard has, in conjunction with Don McCarty of CodeDimensions, created an iTunes application entitled "Mind Environs". Now live on iTunes, "MindEnvirons" is a meditation/ambient app featuring 3 separate "Environs", each having a brainwave tone plus 6 ambient loops.

Music from the "Mind Environs" application is also available in a very limited edition thirty-minute CD or to download. This recording contains three 10-minute tracks -- each track one possible mix of the  nearly infinite variations possible with the iTunes 'Environs'. Ordering links and more can be found on this page.

ADAPTORS

A delightful release entitled "Adaptors" was released in Italy on May 2, 2011. This CD contains remixes of thirteen selected tracks of Richard's music - some older and some more recent - assembled, remixed and edited by famous Italian producers Daniele Baldelli and Marco Dionigi.

You can find much more information including ordering links, track listing, audio samples, artwork and additional info provided by the booklet notes available at this page.

New Videos Available

Be sure to check out two new site additions of videos that Michael Urbanski created from Richard's music. Michael created wonderfully psychedelic videos from "Desmoria" (from Richard's Beleaguered Blossoms) and "Arabaya" (from Disorient). These new videos can be found directly here: Desmoria -- Arabaya, or on the Videos Page. Beautiful imagery perfectly fitted for such lovely pieces!

Sold Out CDs Available on Custom CD-R

You can now get three of Richard's nearly impossible to find sold out recordings for only $8 each plus shipping. These will be custom made CD-Rs direct from Quirkworks that have artwork printed on the CD and include, along with the entire original recording, two unreleased alternate takes from that release. The recordings being offered are "The Ghosts of Hanton Village", "Infinite Plastic Creation" and "Disorient". More information is available on the disc pages or the order page.
