Thank you Norm

Man this is sweet. I tried this a while back but i was using my cellphone memo recorder and a few barrels and pallets @ my work. The recording sucked but i might have to try it again.

Do these come in a Left Handed model? :) Real cool amigo!!!

really really cool,, i know a very little about osage orange, it's a cool wood, used for long bows in place of yew,, which is the traditional english wood,, i have a 55 lb osage orange long bow that i built, it is a wood that is a bit soft/stringy, so it needs some form of backing for a bow, i use bamboo,, shoots great and also makes a bit of a twang as i release,, now that i think about it,, anyway,, making ones own tackle is really neat,, wonderful work/demo/story/sound all in one and all around!!

YES!!! love your beats bro!!!!! The harp is a great touch!

Absolutely cool track! Excellent concept! w;-)

All I can say is...OH WOW! I love it! w;-)

Ok, I want one! Sounds soooo cool! w;-)

Wow great sound Norm really cool mate.

This has a new sound with all kinds of possibilities. I like the easter egg at the end too. The instrument sounds cool

Very cool. Reminds me of a detuned bass guitar or something. I think I need me one of these as well. :)

Me too me too! I wants one! I have a berimbau app but it dont sound near this good.

Had a slapping time making lunch

Can I order one?

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.

This is amazing, Norm! Love the ending. I think you should go into the berimbau making business!

Wow! That's freaking awesome! I love instruments like this and the fact that you made your own is killer! Lovely 3 track recording. Nice groove. I would love to hear you expand on this and combine it with some synths or something, but hell either way really really cool!

wow, that's impressive!

Hi Norm......nice groove man.........its got my head shaking, my arms shivering, my back bouncing, my legs levitating

Excellent norm you really can get a beat out of anything ......we used to play bows and arrows with our Berinbau we just had a bit of string instead of wire and the wood was. Bit of elder kept us occupied for hours in the spiny wood and the only sound we made from it was the loud Fadunk when we let the reed arrows fly at one ofd the cowboys.....

One of my all time favorite songs. Great job!

Awesome, sax man!

Beautiful, once again!

Menacing!

Great set. I really enjoyed it.

So when you are playing this song on the Fender Mustang, you are hearing it in Sorog tuning, right? But the note that you are playing on the guitar is changed to another pitch by the Roland, so you must have the headset plugged into the Roland output, right?

Vaisvil's response to my question was enlightening: wild stuff! "well, no actually, it is the Roland GR-20 that gets re-tuned. Performing in many tunings with acoustic instruments is problematic and while I've seen a few attempts none of them I could afford. One could de-fret and re-fret a guitar but not only is it time consuming you then have either many guitars or a commitment to one tuning for a good space of time. So.. long story short - musical electronics are making microtonal music practical. Of course this is purely from a western perspective - other cultures have been performing microtonal music for millennial. Or, as a Turkish composer told me - the west is the real microtonal music because its the compromise compared to other cultures."

This is brilliant. Perhaps my favorite of your work so far.

Way to collaborate, guys! Bravo!

Great tune/voice. It is interesting how a particular smell or sound can instantly summon the gift of recall.

You actually tune the Fender Mustang to the Sorog tuning, right?

You've done a great job of really listening to the conga pattern - you picked up the "melody" the drums are playing and duplicated it nicely with your guitars. Man, when I hear it together, it becomes very clear how off key my drum tuning is, and how a membranophone, by its very multi-tonal nature, is really tough to accompany when it is played in a melodic fashion. It is very brave of you Brian to even attempt to collaborate with such unconventional drumming – if I expect others to collaborate with my percussion tracks, I would probably be wise to produce patterns that are less melodic… and leave the melody up to my fellow collaborators on the chordophones, aerophones and electrophones. Well done!

The vocal harmony work on this one is right-on!

I still love it.

I've seen that video before, and always cherish it when I can have dreams like this at night. One of my favs! And listening to this song while watching it adds another dimension! Great voice, mix, orchestral support and over-all production. Well done!

Very nice!

Great voice work!

All of your stuff sounds so pro. Well done!

@Sha-Pink: Thanks! I have a wide variety of different drums - you can get one view of my studio from the cover of my "collaborations" playlist. Various congas, bongos, djembes, bass drums, bells and effects instruments... but no trap-set.

Yes! In the groove. I love it when that happens... it remains a mystery to me how that works, but I think part of it is really listening to each other.
