At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…
Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.

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.

In 2006 we visited a Japanese garden. In September of 2009 I wrote this piano piece in 17 ET and I hear a connection between the two. So I put together a video from pictures and video taken of our visit and married the two. Please visit the song…

I was working on one of my ethno 2 demos and needed a break so I made an improvisation on a series of major 7ths using only the Ethno 2 package.
All of the pitched instruments use the included Werckmeister temperament tuning.
Ooooh, you guys got it going. I would so LOVE to hook up with musicians along this slant. Talk to me about how the percussion is recorded (ie micing, etc.). Just awesome. AWB/Feat.
This drips with butter! Your keys player should be canonized. And I want to spend the week-end with your drummer, bassist and a case of gin. Great vocals too!
This song always puts you in a weird mood...forcibly sways your emotional state. There’s some kind of weird juju laced in that song that screws with your emotions no matter how you're feeling.

This was written while living in the studio. For some reason this song seems like music appropriate for a chase scene. This is all bass and drums...no guitars yet. Vic's working on it.

Another older song. It's intentionally short. It makes it's point and moves on. No need to drag it out.
There used to be more. The song started as a minute-thirty idea, but we had the intention of building it later. We put some cool parts…

Thanks to Sister Savage for helping us debut our new project. As busy as she is, Sister managed a bit of time and some great Jovian vox for us.
This piece or art is unique, sublime, and psychedelic.

Sharp sound! Really enjoyed this!

So intriguing! That's really cool!
That's a surprise! Cool harp and guitar work. made it all lovely and bluesy.
Oh yeah!!! That was great! You may need to resuscitate Dave Berry though!
Wicked!
Wow! :-)))))
Not sure how I missed this! Pretty nice collab gents.
loving the harp. this was a good choice!
Nice one dig it.
That's awesomely devilish of you, it might even be freakin'. Brilliant move!
Now I want jam and biscuits. Tasty beats!
Thanks Norm! Yeah I have been on a musical sabbatical and lots of ocean time, you nailed it!
Wonderful stuff........harmonistic
wow! this harp work sounds great!!! Unfortunately the guitar pictured isn't the one in the recording (we'll get to that tomorrow)
Hey you're a natural at this harmonica stuff - this sounds great together!
Comments made by Norm
Beautiful. I didn't need the video to see the coys lazily gliding around the pond.
Are you still there?? Nice work, Reefwalker!! The thing I love the very most about it is** Oh - gotta go - phone's ringing...
Cool!
The harmonies on this one are simply breath taking! Great song and well done!
Ummmmmm now this is good, good, good.
Ooooh, you guys got it going. I would so LOVE to hook up with musicians along this slant. Talk to me about how the percussion is recorded (ie micing, etc.). Just awesome. AWB/Feat.
I'm still shaking my head...
OK, I'm just going to be quiet from now on, but this is really, really great stuff that you guys are generating.
This drips with butter! Your keys player should be canonized. And I want to spend the week-end with your drummer, bassist and a case of gin. Great vocals too!
I have no idea why noboody is listening to this great stuff!! That shit ain't right. Many thanks!! Just great!
Of your loop intended samples, I like this one best.
It's space alright. I've heard it plenty of times at the Dead concerts. Well done!
Guitars would just ruin this. MORE DRUM AND BASS DUETS!!
Oooh, sweet drumming on this one! Funkytissimo!
Rockin! Great stuff.
One of the freshest new poems I've read in a very long time. Outstanding work!
Dig it! *-Jumps into mosh pit with a big grin on his face-
Now we're talking! This kicks! *Buys a round for the band**
Swampy! Very nice.
Excellent work guys! Thanks!
