It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

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!

Reg got Elvis last night to do a special request for LG, but as the TCB band was having the night off Reg and Elvis concocted this one.....................
Norm's original 12/8 percussion track that forms the basis for the entire piece. http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/mother-nut-drop
I'm involved in a microtonal music class. We are studying 11 edo instead of the normal 12 edo (equal division…
A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot.
This is one of the hidden tracks on my new album "Black Cat" which features Beth, Keith and Reewfwalker from alonetone and Geir and Jim from Songcrafters.
Here is a…
Year: 1999
Album:
Land of the Lost
Artist's description:
I don't remember where I got the drum set from but there is a custom percussion loop thanks to HammerHead.
The voice is mine suitably modified.
That is not a sequencer…
Reg has been over to Songcrafters.org on the other side and found this little beauty a piece of music by Willi Wendon and he loved it so much he's put a vocal to it. Hope you like it Willie..........
IT'S A CRAZY WORLD
It’s a crazy world…
This is about the free spirit soaring high above the seas, forests, cities and times.

improvisation with pianoteq and hollywood strings
I am feeling like all of my improvisations sound the same again. I probably need to devote even more time to scoring - and building instruments.
Reg was alone so he had a few beers and had a look through his tapes this is Pt 1 of a set of tapes taken from the cellar.......Regs first night in the cellar...James Brown ...Elvis....Louis...Jim.The story begins.........
Here's my talley of who's in the cellar with the Regs Deuce:
James Brown, Henwrench, Vincent Price, Elvis, Frederico, Louie Armstrong, Bon Scott, Frank Sinatra, Jim Morrison and perhaps Satan.

This was going to be a re-make of Dancing on my own but reg was too busy to participate so i have used Norms percussion track and got Chris Vaisvil to bass it up and i have added a vocal creating something new. Reg has had a lot of trouble with…
Reg's little homage to Elizabeth Taylor who passed away today, the piano is a little dodgy and the lyrics and the singing in parts as i'm following my dodgy playing, it will have to be revisited but i thought i'd share anyway as i would forget…
I have tried to make a literal representation of this from Mat Cooper:
"I consider rhythm to be ultra-low pitch. Polyrhythms are then Just Intonation. For example if rhythm1 cycles through 4 beats in the same time as rhythm2 cycles through 3…
Well, is it microtonal? What do you make of this?
As for me, when it is in a tempo range that I can follow (mid range) it sounds like a basic 4vs.3 polyrhythm. This makes sense to me, as all of the drum tones drop back into the their common denominator of 4 or 3 and resound in unison.
So, I get the sense of polyrhythm, but not microtonality.
It would be interesting to me to repeat this experiment with, for example, piano key tones to see if the results are the same, i.e. is one left with a sense of 4vs.3 polyrhythm or something else.
My hypothesis is that the effect will be the same. I do not believe the pitch of the notes relate to this question. And I also think that at this point I do not agree with the premise that "polyrhythms are then Just Intonation": polyrhythms represent a relationship in time, whereas Just Intonation represents a relationship in pitch.
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!

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
Excellent. Strong work here...
Very clever!
Long live the King!
It's great to hear some home made instrument action. I have several percussion instruments that I have made...
Strong work brother!
I still love it...
I still love it...
Excellent production. Lots going on here... going in for another listen.
Excellent Reg!
Wow.
This is beautiful, Chris.

Where do I get an application to be the house percussionist at this place??
Brilliant!
Still dig it. Great vass, Baisvil! And vox heavenly.
Great collaboration. Awesome bass.
Yet another side to your amazing voice, Reg. Impressive.

Great recording technique. Naturally, I can't help but think of old Saturday morning cartoons on the television when I hear music like this. Love it!
