A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.

I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.

This is really nice work - laid back and exotic. Very nice balance between the music and the percussion - tastefully done. Since I'm listening before the description went up I'm very curious who you collaborated with - they did a nice job on the music.
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…

in a cool darkened lounge
floors above the cityscape
quiet laughter, clink of ice in glass
D min looks into the eyes of G min
a quiet romance begins
sometimes the best things in life are quite simple

A song about meeting up with each other this year for some music and booze next week.
Lyrics-
i need some space
i need some time
just to rehearse
for the viking dance
what should i wear
what should i bring
what will we sing…
Full picture of the guitarron body - it sounded great - nicely deep.
The guitarron is fretless with a very short neck which reminds me of a giant Oud - the wikipedia article will give you an idea of just how huge this thing really is…

Featuring Norm Harris on Percussion!
i hope you like it...
I plugged my Fender Mustang directly into the Zoom H2 and monitored with head phones while sitting on my bed and played around. This is a compressed version of one of the things I did. I've been pretty sick the past few days but I needed to…
From an old song of mine.
Wanted it raw so stuck with the One Guitar one voice thing.
All in all a Two track production (Excluding the drum track.)...

This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
Good dog. Bad Dog. It's all the same. Poor Daisy. Sometimes when the opportunity presents itself, you just have to run far away, through out the night.
Great vox on this one and the change of perspective -from the narrator's to Daisy's- is very clever. But the double entendre that this piece drips with is the part I like the very best.
These are facinating! More information, please? Origin? History? Translation? Production details? What is that predominant percussion sound? Almost sounds like a bellows...
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
This is what happens when I come back to a track that started being put together in a commercial radio station production studio back in about '92/'93 (post liquid-lunch "creative" time). The rhythm loops were layered then the crunch guitar (courtesy…

Comments on Norm's stuff
Stunning.
I absolutely adore melodic drums...and while delicate...this is one HEAVY and head-bobbin' groove. Nice one...very nice one.
I think we all have our different way's to bring life deeply back in our soul's again.. Well done..
yes ! sendin' me
cool collabatone and good balance.
That is some sweet music going on there fellas. Damn good.
Wow! I loved this track before, but you just made it HOT.
Man that's awesome norm!!! Only just getting round to hearing it but love what you did here. Cant stop physically moving me 'ed to it (which is a shame in a way cos i have a hang over!). Its a great sound.. honoured!
fantastic great collab
Nice groove there. Shades of Santana without the guitar of course.
@Chris: Man you are fast! I didn't realize the song would post before the description...

Wonderful little tune!
What a warm tone, nice job.
I love it. And the back story rocks. :)
What a beaut!!! I love those Y-Class's, I have an HO model of one.... Work that thang, of yeah! LG
awesome!
awesome!
Great sound Norm the only shame is that Dave got the polishing the bell joke in before me...............
excellent field work my brother, I know you have other samples from this gem, send me a wav.
Comments made by Norm
Excellent!
Have a great time. Have a G&T for me!
Sounds like a mariachi band has recently been through your Guitar Center...
Awesome! I'd love to see you guys perform in the desert sometime... a perfect back-drop for this sort of music and hunting for allicantos.
Ahh. This evolves nicely. I love the cello action. Totally pro.
Great space you have created here! Just right for a high soaring Condor. You did a beautiful job with this -superb mixing. I love it! Many thanks!
I still love this one...
I can hear you recovering!
Menacing!
Very effective! Nice guitar work and drum work here.
Excellent. I think you nailed it with this one: one guitar, one voice works very well here.

Go team go! I'm singing it with you!
Excellent work here. Meritous of many more listens IMHO.
Great percussion!
Very enjoyable. Thanks!
Sounds great nearly 20 years later!
So how does the harmonic series filter work? Does it just allow one to hear the lowest A, E and next to the lowest B? Wild stuff!
She's going to treasure this someday...
