Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…
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!

This songs reminds me that this is the moment i have. No longer looking for the dawn for the dawn is here.
This is the moment
this is the moment
that i've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
the dawn and the dawn is coming soon
This is a good place for me to be....it does me good to remember this.
God around me
God within me
there's nothing i need to fear
always remember you're here
I was thinking about Haiti...
i don't know what to say
i don't know how to feel
when i'm way over here
and things are going well
my house is standing still
my friends are still alive
the smell of spring is in the air
and i just can't connect…
Written for a friend of mine.
be and i will be with you
you are a light house in this storm
you will overcome
you will overcome this storm
don't fear the wall for you will climb upon it.
you will see from higher ground
and the sun…
Improvisation on congas and very fragile, clay Moroccan bongos (which my brother found for me from an African display at some zoo!). These bongos are basically clay pots with permanent, very thin goat skins stretched over the top - they can not…
This is the first tune I wrote using an actual loop pedal. I really like the rawness of its form. The sound is sharp, it kind of attacks your ear.. but then after it loops around a few times, it calms down and sinks in..
I expect that there will…

Norm Harris performs the excellent percussion
Down by the riverside
Where all of the fish had died
I threw my faith right in
When I saw it, it was sinking
Oh don't you go
Don't you even dare
Don't run away until you…
A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…
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
Awesome.
They tell me that "do not be afraid" is the most common scriptural command. This song is a beautiful reminder of that. Many thanks.
I can add nothing more than agreement to all of the preceding wonderful comments. Many thanks.
The harmonies are perfect and the lyrics fantastic... very profound and comforting.
Many thanks, Launched! It is always a blast working with ReefWalker.
Excellent! A loop pedal - how fun! Nice work here!
Nice Calypso beat!
I love your steel guitar work...
Very soulful. Well done!
Wailin'! I like how you end the song on the same pitch as the dial tone. "I'm out of here!"
Stunning.
This is a true piece of history, in more ways than one!
I'm really glad you posted this one. I love the sax work...
I just love this one...
Solid.
You must be surfing in California. You may find the temperature more appealing in Hawaii or Central America! ;) Thanks for listening!!
Ha! I agree - in fact I'm fairly certain that it is an unalienable right for all; but you've got to be very good about the sunscreen.
This DOES rock. Great concept, too.
You two did a great job with this. Tabla jazz - yes!
I must agree with Savage. Wendy's background voice is wonderful and really makes this one drift. I just love that. Well done.
