@Bee: I believe that you are referring to the first 3 off-beats of the measure, which are played on a wood-block heavily distorted with "gated reverb"... but I've never heard a chicken that sounds like that! :)

Wonderful Norm just wonderful.....I feel blessed....I've got my headphones on and Sebastian asleep in his crib beside me.......and have too keep taking them of because I'm sure he's crying in time ....very effective
A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,

Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…

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…

The chorus of this groove is in 5/4 and the verse in 9/4. You can hear me fall apart at the very end… guess I got worried.

*And don’t forget*

I think if you could see the details of the painting more closely you would be able to see that in fact they are rolling die at the dinner table: Red Riding Hood has just rolled her 5th natural 7 on the come-out. Moments after the instant of this painting, the gent on the right flips the table over and Mr. Skull-cap slips Red a shiv.

Have you ever been let down badly by that so called friend and lost hope in the very idea of friendship........

I need a friend who doesn’t need me
i need a friend who doesn’t bleed me
i need a friend who doesn’t hurt…
The reunion was on...they came from far and wide....it was held on Easter Sunday down at.....the new cellar of Regs...chiseled in to the Yorkshire Granite ....sound proofed....bomb proof.....as they say it started with a beat...everything was…
The new cellar is sounding good! And hopefully, now that it has a new location, you will have better luck keeping Desire and her associated riff-raff out of the place.
"I said wait up there" - LOL!
With my buddy Tod's killer drum track! Miss all you guys, I can't keep up...

A melody maker
At the bottom of my bowl
Is an oatmeal quaker
A grampy, a bampy
Make a killer shrimp scampi

Recently, my wife and I discovered the TV show Portlandia, and it has become our Saturday morning ritual to watch the latest episode with our coffee. Anyways, I kind of got the theme song (http://www.ifc.com/fix/2011/02/portlandia-whats-that…

I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
I put locking tuners and flat wound chrome strings on my 17 edo axe. Oh and I quieted the hum quite a bit. There will be more coming. Been a busy week - I think this is the first music I've made all week. I'm outta practice. A whirl with the whammy…

Love that rhythm Norm! What's the 3 repeated, quiet scraping sounds made by? Sounds a bit like a chicken! Interesting!
Wonderful Norm just wonderful.....I feel blessed....I've got my headphones on and Sebastian asleep in his crib beside me.......and have too keep taking them of because I'm sure he's crying in time ....very effective
If I could play drums like this my rhythm tracks would be much better. Enjoy just sitting back and listening to the many tones and varied rhythms.
thanks Norm - I bet Francis would have loved the persistent introspection of this groove! "..illumina le tenebre de lo core mio...
Excellent organic percussion! Solid gold.
Very, very interesting and addictive pattern here Norm.
Thanks Norm!!
thanks for the listen and rating!
I hear that
Very cool! I can explain the beer being gone!!
Oooo, 2.30 ish the little bit of quiver comes in. Nice! And, gets louder. Like it!
"4" does it for me. I like the, "I mean business" beats.
Ive done a collab with Mark , but never Tharek , this is a dream team , your percussion fits like a glove with this amazing song , i love it
I don't understand the Math behind it but I know it sounds Amazing! It is impressive the story you are able to tell with beats bro.
Very cool groovin' man
This is great mate really cool.
Dandy beat...I sort of got lost in it.
I like this just as a rhythm, mellow
Lovely swaying rhythm, O King of Ze Beats!

Excellent!

@Slkrell: Many thanks! Of course. All of my stuff is up for grabs and I would love to hear what you do with it!
Menacing!
Aww Reg. We are all your friends!

I totally dig Wilford Brimley. And this song too! Great to hear something new from you, Launched.
Excellent!
*The Giving Tree*: a classic Silverstein.
Here's to home made instruments! And here's to Paddy: good riddance to those snakes, lamenting or not.
Excellent!
Gorgeous.
Creepy!
Whoooo, this cooks!
@Jarvis: That may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Many thanks!
Awesome!
Hahahhahaha!
Yes, ofcourse I knew it. Well done.
@Kavin: Ha! Yes you did. Nice suggestion - I'm glad you pointed that out to me. :)
