Welcome to My Website!
WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF RICHARD HOWELL
If you just witnessed one of my performances, or if we just met and connected through music, welcome—I’m glad you’re here.
As a rule, I’ve never been comfortable mixing art and financial transactions. Truth be told, I would have never thought to put a Venmo link on my website. Then my dear friends stepped in and said, “Richard, make it easy for people who want to support what you're doing.”
I resisted.
They insisted.
I listened.
So, if the music moved you, lifted your spirit, made you smile, dance, reflect, laugh, cry, or simply reminded you that we're all connected, and you’d like to leave a tip, you'll find my Venmo here.
No pressure. Your presence is already a gift.
But if you'd like to support the music, the mission, and my ongoing efforts to spread joy, build bridges, and stay in service through art, I thank you deeply.
My friends were right.
(Please don't tell them I said that.)
With gratitude,
Richard Howell
欢迎来到我的网站！
欢迎来到理查德·豪威尔（Richard Howell）的网站
如果您刚刚欣赏了我的演出，或是我们因音乐而相识、相连，欢迎您的到来——我由衷地感谢您来到这里。
一直以来，我都不太习惯把艺术与金钱联系在一起。说实话，我从未想过要在自己的网站上放置 Venmo 收款链接。
直到几位亲爱的朋友对我说：
“Richard，请让那些真正想支持你的人，更容易表达他们的心意。”
我起初并不同意。
他们坚持。
最终，我听从了他们的建议。
因此，如果我的音乐曾打动您的心，提升了您的精神，让您微笑、起舞、沉思、欢笑、落泪，或者只是让您再次感受到——我们彼此相连，而您愿意以小费的方式表达支持，您可以在这里找到我的 Venmo。
当然，没有任何压力。
您的到来，本身就是一份珍贵的礼物。
但如果您愿意支持我的音乐、我的使命，以及我持续通过艺术传播喜悦、搭建人与人之间的桥梁、服务社会的努力，我将由衷地感谢您。
我的朋友们确实是对的。
（不过，请千万别告诉他们这是我说的。）
衷心感谢！
Richard Howell（理查德·豪威尔）
BRIDGE MUSIC...NOW REACHING BEYOND EARTH
A MESSAGEOF JOY, UNITY, AND SHARED HUMANITY MAY SOON JOURNEY FARTHER THAN ANY STAGE -CIRCLING THE MOON
CONGRATULATIONS MAY YOU BE SAFE IN THE HEAVENS
JEREMY HANSON mission specialist VICTOR GLOVER pilot REID WISEMAN commander CHRISTINA HAMOCK KOCH mission specialist.
A beautiful possibility…My album "Our Purpose" by Richard Howell & The Joy Protocol Ensemble may be traveling to the moon with Victor Glover on the Artemis II.
Victor’s parents and I were high school classmates, and his mother loved the idea of the music being part of his mission playlist.
So it’s entirely possible Bridge Music will be circling the moon.
Music that connects rather than competes… reaching beyond Earth
桥梁音乐，飞向月球
一则关于喜悦、团结与人类共同使命的讯息
有些音乐不仅能够跨越国界，更能够飞向太空。
Richard Howell 与 The Joy Protocol Ensemble 的专辑 《Our Purpose》 已收录于宇航员 Victor Glover（维克多·格洛弗） 执行 阿耳忒弥斯二号（Artemis II） 任务期间的个人播放列表，并伴随这项历史性的月球飞行任务，一同飞向月球。
Victor Glover 的父母曾是我高中时期的同学。他的母亲十分支持这个想法，并鼓励将这张专辑加入 Victor 此次太空任务的播放列表。
对我而言，这是莫大的荣誉，也是我音乐人生中最令人谦卑、最难忘的时刻之一。
Bridge Music（桥梁音乐） 所承载的理念——连接，而非竞争——如今已随着人类探索太空的脚步，飞向月球。
这不仅是一段音乐的旅程，更象征着音乐超越文化、语言、国界，甚至超越地球本身，将人类彼此连接在一起。
愿《Our Purpose》继续把来自地球的信息——喜悦、希望、和平与团结——传向浩瀚宇宙。
—— Richard Howell（理查德·豪威尔）
