Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice groove. Shufflin beat...slow waves to wash over you...and a gradual build in composition. It's all about the journey. Diggin' it as usual.
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…
Drum-n-bass composition I did back in 2004 via digital-razor-blade technique with an additional fat synth line. That's it. Hear something you want to add? Go for it!
Another of Reg's loves in through the out door...................
SHE’S GONE (Lyrics)
She doesn’t need me
she doesn’t want me
She has gone
She’s closed the door on my life although i’ve done no wrong
i Can’t tell what she wants

I was listening to Andy Casson's song Old ladies over on Songcrafters and it got Reg thinking........... could this be the last song i ever hear................so Reg went down the cellar to write a one chord song using only the notes that make…
Reg has been thinking he's fed up with all this celebrity crap.......the emperor is naked can't you see..........
CELEBRITY STRIFE (Lyrics)
I’ve said this once
I’ve said this twice
I don’t give a damn about the celebrities life
About who…
Elvis got philosophising in the cellar again last night.........................so Louie and Reg got Bluesy with him and this is what turned out of the session.........
DREAMER(Lyrics)
Well I asked the mirror if my dreams would come true…
Sometimes it seems ... No: it always seems that we are all in some kind of closed squirrel circle, and we all run, run... away? Both I and thou. Why? The meaning of life whether it?
No, I'm not crying or whatever boring. I just wondering…
Charlie, I too have a fascination with "The Theme Song From Peter Gunn"... one of my favorite from Mancini. The francesca vocal fx is slightly reminiscent of the skat singing of Edie Hart, so I am sure this would fit right in at *Mother's*.
A steel string guitar improvisation I did last night before bed called “A Nagging Thought“. The piece prominently features a V+ to i (augmented dominant to minor tonic) movement. I usually don’t care for the sound of an augmented tried but in…
Comments on Norm's stuff
All Hallows was groovin' alright! Love the clicky bits (I know all the technical phrases, me). I defy anyone not to tap their feet to this one! Tess S
Oh Yeah! This is the stuff alright. I still got to get down to jamming on some of your grooves one of these days
Norm is brilliant, as always.
Diggin the new track Norm. Crisp tune to wake up to! Will have to listen to again when I get home.
@D: The vision of you dancing with your 4 month old to this delights me!
Can't wait to get settled into my new place and have my next studio set up so I can add to this one. (if you don't mind, that is.)
Just spent the morning dancing with my daughter to this groove. She's only four months old...but was totally movin' her feet and giggling to this.
Sweet sounding drum.
Improvin it up!!! BOO YEAH! :)
really cool, your recordings are very clear very tactile to the ear
im with it
this what i really like true music from the drum no singeres and gutars to mess it all up
La danza, es la clave de la felicidad. Well played Norm, gorgeous rhythm!!
oui.....brillanti......comme d'habitude....
@ Vaisvil: *La clave es la llave, la llave es la clave*.
I hear a lot of melodies in this one. All of the drums seem to speak to me. Even the clave. Perhaps I'm finally getting it?
This is were its at!! Groovy!!
I is a nice and romantic music. A lot of emprovement.
Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice groove. Shufflin beat...slow waves to wash over you...and a gradual build in composition. It's all about the journey. Diggin' it as usual.
Thats a fine assemblage of talents and great sounds here, good job all.
Comments made by Norm
Excellent percussion work!
Really rocks!
I dig it!
Stand strong Reg.
In some cases, we can only hope it is the last time.
Ah! Reg, you are right. I thought she looked familiar. I wonder what she is looking at - no doubt somebody has dropped their wallet on the sofa.
They say a good wine has nice legs...
Debt is not what "eats the soul", Reg.
Tough to beat a monk and monkey combination. Nice work!!
Let's all kill our televisions! Good one Reg.
Get a new mirror, Reg. Great vox as always!
Speechless.
This is another gem from you! This really moves! Great vocal work.
Awesome!
Time to start stealin' again! Nice build up and dreamy guitar.
Excellent question...
This would be good to play while the credits are rolling at the end of the Reg movie...
Charlie, I too have a fascination with "The Theme Song From Peter Gunn"... one of my favorite from Mancini. The francesca vocal fx is slightly reminiscent of the skat singing of Edie Hart, so I am sure this would fit right in at *Mother's*.
Best bass groove of all time. I can't help but think of the Blues Brothers and the old arcade game "Spy Hunter" when I hear this.
Auuugh! Once seen, never to be forgotten... regrettably. Fortunately, once heard, not forgotten either. Nice work!
