Good grief! I didn't realize until today that I had plagiarized the name of this song for one of my percussion tracks. Please accept my apologies. I named my track that because my studio was inundated with the little buggers during my recording session… I hadn’t heard your wonderful piece before. (How embarrassing!) Here in western Virginia, we have never seen anything like it before this year: they get into everything.
Great string work!
This is a remastered version of DJam, uploaded previously, with Darrin Kobetich on mandolin. Look him up on myspace, he's an incredible guitarist! I am playing a National Estralita resonator tuned to double drop-D.
Sort of more like a marmalade than a jam.......and I bet that does not make any sense over in the US of A cos' you do not have jam but jelly and do you even have marmalade at all ?
What a way to norse up a comment......oh alright it's bloody good.

Love it! I may need to start grabbing some of Norm's outstanding percussion tracks and lay down some guitar... Although it will never be as smooth as this one by Kavin!
I unleash my secret weapon!
Guest vocalist Shaka brings the icing to this rather haunted version of the first chapter of Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier!
I wanted to play more directly with noise of various kinds so this piece focuses less on techniques and fancy plugins and more on selection & arrangement of sounds.

would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
When I uploaded this last night I thought it was a failure, this morning I am not so sure. I've just listened to it again and, while it fails to live up to my expectations when I started, there's something about it that I like.
The initial…

2010 RPM Challenge
I elected to pursue my theme for RPM 2010 even though, ultimately, I decided not to take part.
So I'm going at my own pace, not trying to produce "finished" works, or to be governed by anything except my experimental muse.
The theme I chose…
Came up with a proper title, because I THINK the tuning is open D minor. Thanks for the comments. And BTW, no overdubbing was used. Just used the stereo output from the Yamaha Acoustic Stomp pedal.
This is a newer version of Summer Nights from what I posted on Thanksgiving day. I didn't like the previous version. This is a much cleaner version This song is one I wrote quite a while back. I didn't like the melody so I changed it. Easier…
This is the first tune for my 2010 RPM Challenge.
A bit short...my first attempt earlier in the evening (completely different tune) I ended up scrapping at 1:30 a.m., so this one was done in just a few minutes...

Part six of the ten-part suite. The tracks segue continuously, so downloading them all and listening to them together is the intended experience. Thanks for checking it out!
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode

This track is the result of putting Kavin's excellent track [Propitiation](http://alonetone.com/kavin/tracks/propitiation) through my Steve Reich style phased looper.
It's a beautiful piece but also quite a sparse sound which lead me to think…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
nice
Feels like I'm in some jungle with Tarzan
Hey Norm, no prob, there's no copyright on song titles! Stinkbug was my daughter's nickname when she was small. thanks!

Now this I like, I like very much, Great jam, sounds so very good.
Nice bluesy chord progression. Norm adds the percussive funk. I Dig the bass line too.
Yeah, that's what I like! Fantastic!
Great track guys. Norm, you are Mr.Percussion, and Kavin you made that sing!
Great job Kavin very cool.
Very cool!
Love hearing another take on Norm's cabinets. They are filled with cool notes!
Thanks for loading my cabinets up with such tasty awesomeness!
Cool! I've had this Norm track sitting on my desktop for a month and have yet to come up with anything this groovy with it. Great jam man!
Always a big compliment to get a smiley from Mac! :)
:)
Haha, beat me to it...although...I wasn't planning to play awesome guitar on it. Groovy!

Great song. The guitars have a nice Spanish vibe, which I like.
Very cohesive sound collage. I love this.
Acoustic greatness.
This has a "softer" sound than previous stuff, which I like. Dreamy.
Got a stand up bass? That's what I imagine, but otherwise it's a great track!
number 9..number 9..number 9
@kirklynch It's all bridge pickup, guitar run thru Yamaha AcousticStomp to simulate a miked dreadnought (because I'm lazy).
I like the anthem-ish approach here. Good 'un Doug.
yeehaaw!
Tasty stuff!
This is kick@$$!
Great energy, charging guitars and vocals! Keep on Colin

Good song Gilbert, nice.
Yay Doug's back! I like the urgency in this one. Kinda like RPM itself.
Parts IV thru VI, I made that run a couple years ago, this would have been a good soundtrack. Great stuff.
Doing RPM?
Beautiful. One of your best.
Ah a song about my 2nd favorite hobby (besides music), much to my wife's chagrin ;-}
WOWOWEEEE!!
