I miss you too, bud! Just listened to the Cabin Jam you did with Jim - Freakin' Sweeeeeeet!!!
Wow, you're a harp man! This collab is dynomiiiiiite!!! Chris did a killer with the guitar work and you took it to the next level big time.

Regarding your reluctance to being in a pantry with Reg's women ....
Ha ha Norm, you wouldn't? Where's your sense of adventure?
While listening to your fascinating sounds I'm wondering what dish I could make of the ingredients shown.

Lyrics:
There’s a pound or two of flesh in my chest yet.
It sits next to the bag that brings me my breath, yes.
A knot of muscle that flex and flex and flexes,
It’s okay—no rest (unless time requests it).
In the bowl above my eyes a gelatinous…

The synth is my Fender Mustang + GR-20
I do have video of Jacob playing the udderbot with the band - but right now I'm still putting together my gear from storage and this was the best I could do with Windows Live movie maker on my laptop.
So for now - enjoy the sound of Jacob jamming…
Great bluegrass. Great video (you seem to be getting passed more than passing...), and, of course, I had to look up "udderbot". What a cool instrument! Make your own! I am!

Just need a good reason to be sinister
Give me an army, an enemy,
a great war --
and I'll deliver
Put me in the middle of nowhere
In the wilderness I'll survive
But in an air-conditioned…
What You Forgot is an electronics / percussion piece that uses Absynth and Dimension Pro in two different harmonic series tuning (5 limit and 7 limit). The percussion is provided by Kontakt. The piece was preformed on an AXiS 49 in one pass…
his song is just an experiment or at least started that way. Based on an "Ultrabeat" groove ( the only loops ) I added parts and sang an "Off the cuff" vocal and mixed and tweaked. Mostly Midi parts played through my cheesy Midi controller but…

Sharp sound! Really enjoyed this!

Regarding your reluctance to being in a pantry with Reg's women .... Ha ha Norm, you wouldn't? Where's your sense of adventure? While listening to your fascinating sounds I'm wondering what dish I could make of the ingredients shown.
So intriguing! That's really cool!
That's a surprise! Cool harp and guitar work. made it all lovely and bluesy.

Too much fun!
The closing round was delightful as was the udderbot in the final song. I should probably make an udderbot...
Awesome, Reg! Great collaboration betwixt a couple of AT giants!
Ah yes. 2 drummers at times! Wonderful stuff.
Superb drum work!
Excellent drummer! Totally pro.
Beautiful.

It was only a matter of time... it pleases me that you are releasing your inner percussionist.
Love the street drumming busker!

Good for you! Be careful with such an addicting piece of gear!
Do it some more!
