It was a curious and wondrous thing.

Tight Groove! Hate it when your instruments decide to steal your beer...but hey...it's a small price to pay for having them play along for free on a track, right? btw...can't believe you used to listen to KY102 back in the day! Where you from originally?

@Geas:
Uh, that would have freaked me out too. And how about when you have your headphones up loud, really focusing on the project, and you look up and somebody has (quietly, so as not to disturb you) walked into the studio to ask you a question or something? I've had to edit out a explicit derogatory once in awhile - but the adrenaline rush is awesome!

Me and Dave Recorded this to test the levels in the Church when we did some songs in tribute of my Son Ethan the other day.
We Normally record a throw away track before recording something for real.
Improvised, so it gets you in the spirit…
I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"
http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son
Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
Well, the Unicorn in the glass dust may be the way to you, but Bee's voice is the way to me.
Don't tell Bee, but MY dreams are slightly different: in them I hear her telling me how naughty I am.
Not what I was expecting with a Bee vocal. Cool piece. And, while I can only hope to hear Bee singing when I pass, I hope it is something more along her typical angelic lines.
Rather, it includes Norm's excellent track Pilón For A New Son (http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son). Was trying to find out how less I can get away with in rhythms while still having enough flow. Feedback welcomed :)
Whoa! That's awesome Tipu!
A big part of the fun for me at AT is tying my patterns to helium balloons and releasing them onto the interweb - there is no telling where they will ever end up or what (if anything) ever becomes of them.
But sometimes somebody nabs one and sends it back so different, so evolved and so reconsidered that I hardly can recognize it. Heard from a completely different clave (or phase shift) with fresh new perspectives (not to mention wonderful mixing, mashing and effects) for vintage patterns. Heard for the first time again...
Yeah, I wax poetic. But man, I just love that.
Aaron Krister Johnson is the founder of Untwelve and a virtuoso pianist. I was honored to have Aaron perform my piece
“Prelude for Prelude for Centaur Tuned Piano”
at an intimate Untwelve gathering last year on his piano which is tuned to Kraig…
Texas hold em poker, and going for it all. Open mic acoustic with some alt tuning. Percussion by Norm.
The kokiriko? Norms playing in there actually sounds like shuffling cards- particularly loving the glockenspiel addition he did…
Here's a cover of a zep classic...from Reg and Speed Demon Gene....Gene has done all the music and the mixing..thanks Gene ....and i'm responsible for the warbling..... hope you enjoy
Landry/Garn
When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
With a little help from some of the lyrics of the Doors descriptions of the uncertainty of the 60's Reg has decided to do a kind of Punk song from both sides about the trouble in England which seems to be igniting the youth to set light and loot…
Instrumental Acoustic Guitar.
Written in 2010 for the wedding of a very good friend of mine, Jason. It was the processional, playing while the wedding crew walked down the aisle. Played it with montgomeru (who also wrote the recessional…
Comments on Norm's stuff
Yep yep, I do believe I am digging this. Love the use of the harp. :) FAV'D and DL'd
Just going to comment on the tight pattern with the eclectic shekere time placement, but then I heard you playing the harp. nice tune man! Downloading
You are the King of percussion Norm, brilliant.
Love the hat at 0:58...really nice man!
I wish AT had a repeat button. I'm downloading this - great piece Norm!
...drummer, in the rhythm of his own, decidedly takes height... Easy for me to say. I wasn’t there :-)
This is really cool Norm. I enjoyed that mate very cool. Thanks for your recent comments mate
great tune Norm! hey, take a look to "el vuelo del cóndor" on my playlist, you've done a great job, thank you very much again.
Freaky and Fantastic! Great Stuff. Spooky given the story but blooming Great!
nice. vibration sounds really cool.
Fantastic tune!
Tight Groove! Hate it when your instruments decide to steal your beer...but hey...it's a small price to pay for having them play along for free on a track, right? btw...can't believe you used to listen to KY102 back in the day! Where you from originally?
Man that sounds deadly.
Thanks Norm I was not that sure of the glock but you are the King of percussion so thanks for that.
@Norm - happens regularly. One of these days I'm going to accidentally knock her out :D
The more I listen to this the more I like tops

My synth counted down 4-3-2-1 for me once. During a late RPM night. Scared the Sh*t right out of me.
Very freaking cool man!
Excellent track, Norm... I may need to mess with this as well!
Comments made by Norm
Lovely!
Oh you brought it home alright! Excellent!
Here's to Billy!
All of your stuff is just excellent!
Well, the Unicorn in the glass dust may be the way to you, but Bee's voice is the way to me. Don't tell Bee, but MY dreams are slightly different: in them I hear her telling me how naughty I am.
Great to hear from you again Rick! The surf must have been exceptionally good for quite awhile... Awesome work!
I loved that album.

Wow, has it already been a year?? Are you attending the gathering this year?
They say a cut dog bears no pups, but I've got nothing but a pair of Indians. I'll meet you back at the Winnebago...
Excellent Reg!
Way to work it Daawg!
The drums do work here.
Ha! No, I'm afraid Hank Thompson got it right the first time, regardless of what Kitty Wells sang. Great version!
How did I miss this? LET IT BURN!
Gin. Nice work!
Mandolishous!
3/4 is perfect for a processional!
Boom!
