It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…
Man, i need to go back through all your collabs now...:) This is yet another great track. I think your kids had the right idea, it fits perfect with the music man!
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
Vocal, fretless electric guitar, rhodes (Dimension Pro), tenor sax (Dimension Pro), and drums (Session 3 drummer). All but the drums are live performances.

I really like this one chris....i downloaded it and have been jammin it in my car. It's a good "end of the day" listener....driving home....just after dark.
Written and performed by Tangmo and Steve Blizin.
Saturday night I'm gonna put on a tie
take my truck for a whirl
flow down the road across three county lines
to see my pretty little black-haired girl
Mom will be in the kitchen fixing…
My old buddy and collaboration partner Phil Close joined me on what is at or near the last song for my last album. I wrote the song and sang--Phil did everything else you hear. Dance in the New Year.
Dance, Little Sister.
Dance till you…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
I wish my listening gear was better--enough to give you some supportive comment for your recording technique. All sounds wonderful here, and the piece itself is emotive and beautiful. Really enjoyed this. I've met some fine guitar players on my sojour through internet music--you are one of the finest.
I didn't like the 1st version so i changed it so here it is. imagine Sitting in the forest listening to the breeze being free and wanting to follow it..........................
It does create a palpable sense of yearning. What a sweet melodious/countermelodious listen. Great use of the jaw harp too, if that's what I'm hearing. (my set-up isn't perfect at present).
"Afoxe" is a rhythm played by carnival groups from Bahia in Northeastern Brazil. It is named after an instrument that is traditionally used to play this pattern: an afoxe is a beaded gourd; aka "shekere". In this rendition, I replaced the shaker…

digging this afro-rythm-blues fusion. Talk about 'roots', you've reached the tippy end here! Why can't I be this cool?
cool russian folk song vibe to me. Lovely lyric. Has everything it needs, and nothing it doesn't.
Love it Norm! Thanks for the comment!
You should try file upload to multiple service http://flashmirrors.com/
your twist up voice is some funky resemblens to Tom Waits. dig your vocals! Thanks for uploading!
when you've had too much, you can't even say wicked ways of whiskey. Too much work for the lips to form those 'w's.
(Should've added that I love the free-spirited carnival feel to the music, as well as the cheeky vox.)
Cheeky.
:) So so wicked!
