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…
Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Reg has just gotta get on gone, he wants to move out from his old lady's into reg's place where it's happening, what with Elvis in the cellar and his visiting friends jammin all night, Reg is almost living there anyway. So now he has decided to…
Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?

Another routine Vaisvil piece. Oh, and by routine I mean:
Hang drums.
Ebow.
17 note octaves.
Fretless bass.
Outrageous prose that is difficult to logically follow.
Exploding fish.

Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
I heard this by Norm and it got me thinking about an idea of an old friend who turns up in need, its a surprise , you haven't even thought of him in the last six months and here he is what do you do?............
Well it had to happen sometime, he couldn't go on living the way he was, even with those full throttle hands there was no excuse, he was guilty....... guilty as charged........RPM2011
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.
Beautiful Kirk!
Go Reg Go! Delores was no good for you anyway... Reg won't mind putting you up for awhile and you two can work on a few tunes in the meantime.
Way fun!
What a story!
I agree with the Captain: this is very good. Please, more details on how you produced this!
Yes, this is excellent! Great voice!

Excellent!
What a lovely tribute!
I'm afraid that I must fave anything that Bethan loves so much. And I quite agree with her. Outstanding work, ladies.
Now this really works! Well done!
Kidneys? Most excellent!
She was no good for you anyway, Reg. And a good bender may be necessary to get over it... but don't crawl into that bottle. Stick to the tea!
Someday may not be soon enough. I want a pre-war guitar playing preacher for my church. Well done!
A blast from the past. Still sounds great, Chris.
Don't do it Reg!
Je dirais - l'eau bleue, mais alors je ne suis pas français. En tout cas, je l'aime ! Le merveilleux, la caractéristique Doug Sparling solide.
How in the world did I miss this?? We may never know your friends song...
We're going to miss you Reg!
