The Endless Path (w/ Norm & Reefwalker)

This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I’ve got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here’s the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm!


I’ve now upped a different mix with a hurdy-gurdy sample…. not exactly what I had in mind, but you get the idea. Let me know if you or someone you know plays a hurdy gurdy, and we’ll do it right.


10-18-10 - I’m posting a third mix. This is one that Reefwalker sent to me just as I finished the hurdy-gurdy version. I like the tanpura sound on this even better than the hurdy-gurdy sample I had used. Maybe I’ll eventually combine the two to see what that sounds like.

It certainly was fortunate for a lot of us the day Norm joined us. Now we are all unashamedly using him! This is a great track.

*laughing so hard it's hard to type @norm's comment*....That is one crazy picture you got on your profile bud. Is that your dog?

Yes, RW's sitar works very well here. Nice! I confess that I don't know what a tenpura is, but then I thought a hurdy-gurdy had something to do with a busking monkey... now I realize its a wheel fiddle, which I've never come close to seeing or hearing. I still want one of those things with the monkey hitting folks up for change in his little cup, whatever it's called.

Real nice folksy tune. It has a bit of CSNY in it. I'm waitin' on the vox man. Saved, Fav'ed and turned to wav.

some Robert Plant-Zepplin IV style vox would be Killer!

yes! this is great - the two of you rock together - and Hurdy Gurdy!! Awesome!! If I may be so bold perhaps a recorder or flute - or best a shawm melody would work.

I'm at work & listening to this now... still not quite satisfied with the intonation of the hurdy-gurdy (I had to pitch shift the sample I found). Reefwalker has done an excellent remix which I will probably upload this evening provided he gives his permission.

Sounding good over here! No, really great!

Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.
