@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.
LYRICS:
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…

For Improv Friday
I improvised this guitar track and recorded audio and midi (Fender Mustang + GR-20) feel free to add to this
After some editing I came up with "And No One Listens"
I used Guitar Rig 4, Kontakt (bass), hyperwave synth, True…
I was just really bored, so I decided to record this truly epic song.
Actually, funny story about how I recorded this. You know those long, black, skinny, microphones you can buy at Wal-Mart, in the computer section? Yeah, I used that, and Cubase…
Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…

Thanks for showing us the beauty of a creature that most of us consider to be a ruthless devourer. Your tender soliloquy perhaps does the beast more than justice... I can only hope for the same.
A slightly destructive children's song... But I suspect that many of you have tried some of the things mentioned.
I have a great idea up in my head
Let's try it out this afternoon
We'll tie the dog up to the sled
Pretend we're launching…
Haha! Pwnd by the phone company once again. I feel your pain. The chain saw solution caught me by surprise, but sounded effective.
It would probably be a very bad idea for you to ever collaborate with ReefWalker about this topic... he has a history of many phone problems as well.

This is an orchestral piece composed in 13 note subset of 31 notes per octave called “Orwellâ€. The purpose of this piece was to study polyphonic voice leading in a microtonal context. It was realized via Sonar 8.5 and Garritan Personal Orchestra…
I read about the Duodene in Doty's book and wanted to try it. I took the opportunity of Margo's scala formatted duodene on the nonoctave forum to toss it into fractal tune smithy and improvise with the tuning.
I hope you don't find this too…
There are times, moments, sounds, shadow falls that take us to and bring us back to magical times in our lives,,,Something in this piece by Johnny Mercer & Henry Mancini,, can pull me in so many different ways,,, it's always been a favorite…

Oh, my holy noodles. *Another* bloody 12-bar in E, and what's worse, it's a *slow* blues. Every guitar player who deems it appropriate to play a slow blues in E, in this the 21st, should be roasted like a head of garlic, smeared across a toasted…

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!

Truely beautiful. Nice job!
Nice work here.
This is most excellent! Rocks indeed!
My hands are definately up!
Another uber collab! Thanks for posting this here... it's great to hear it again.

No saint, her.
Menacing.
Very clever. So what did you find under the flooring?
Sleep? We can all sleep in our graves, but for now I hope you keep jamming! Lots of potential with this one!

Excellent music, concept and production. Well done!
I don't understand it but I like it. Thanks once again for pushing the envelope for me.
*Great* percussion. Sort of a "Beyond Thunderdome" feel.
Yes, this is wonderful. Thanks my huckleberry friend.
There's no love like rock-n-roll love. Nice work!
Beautiful.
Yes, I had never heard of that either. Well done!
Mindbending.
Delicious! But then I love garlic... Well done!
