my biography

Only art and love for the unknown transcend the ordinary.

Hi! I am an artist (visual and graphic), guitar player, song composer/writer, singer, classicist, philosopher, and actually quite famous for my obscurity. I have an imaginary reputation of performing for vast audiences. Apart from that, I hoover the room and clean my teeth.

I'm a husband and a father. Keeping me on the ground. The portrait above was taken by my beautiful daughter. She knows my songs by heart.

Simon | 4 months ago: Hi Richard!

Thanks you for your friendship and the comments to my music. I really appreciate your comments and it makes me very happy that you were positive about my music. Since I’m a total beginner I don’t really know what I’m doing, how to perform, write or record music, so it’s hard for me to see if my musical ideas have any potential. I hesitated a lot putting my music on the web, but my friends talked me into it. So your comment means a lot to me.

And you nailed my own personal favorites, "Remembrance" and "Ride of the Heroes"...

Take care and keep up the good work!

I will keep an eye on your page, to hear more great songs from you. You've got a nice feeling in your music which I like.

Regards
/Simon
Simon | 4 months ago: Nice music! I especially like the "Raging Waters" and "Super!!Goldfish". And I agree with Humanoise below, the string and voice effects makes it quite special.
Best!
Simon
HUMANOISE | 4 months ago: Hey, Richard! How are you doing ?
Your Super!!Goldffish is Super!!Good song that's I felt.
I could relax very much!! Thank you very much!!!
And anything from her too. Maybe your relaxationable songs fit on my taste. And you are very good at how to use strings, and efects of your voice I think. Maybe I like all of your songs now! That's why you were on the list on the finalists of the last contest! Keep to boost us with your songs, O.K ?
See you, Richard, again!
Wish you luck!!

Derek Stephen M | 5 months ago: dear richard;
thank you for your thoughtful response to my reaction to your music. as you say, i identify with an open simplicity in arrangements. though i enjoy your singing (you sure remind me of david bowie), eclectic songwriting & brilliant guitar playing; i would prefer a dryer sound. every artist makes those choices; and, that's what makes you you. you obviously have lots of fans; who appreciate your music as it is. so, please forgive my doing the "nitpicker's jig".
happy trails,
uncle steve

mboluda | 6 months ago: HELLO:
Richard Thomas
THANK YOU FOR VOTING "THE FEOS"
HE HEARD THE ISSUE of Motor Madness
THE TRUTH SUENA VERY WELL
WELL HARMONIZADAS THE VOICES
THE GUITAR APPEARS Roges Waters
I SEE THAT THERE IS QUALITY
UN SALUDO
Raven | 6 months ago: Oh wow! I like this much better now that the strings have more open voicings. It makes the vocals stand out and frames the lyrics beautifully.

The drone at the foundation of this song now sounds like a male choir humming which only adds to the ambience of your song, Richard.

I really love this song. Well done, my friend.

2008 is going to be a fantastic year for you I think.

Raven :-)
