A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.

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…

YES! Man that bell sounds sweet! Love image of you working the bell as the train rolled on. The only bell I have is a tiny little tibetan bell...maybe I need to find a tiny microphone and work it! Ha ha

(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…

This spooky track utilizes the "Paulstretch" program to stretch recordings of gongs, chimes and bells to 8.04 times their native length: no other effects were made to these acoustic recordings other than to stretch them. The gongs utilized are…

Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.
A collab with K.Davidsen, Dave Berry and Speed Demon (Gene) that I never put up but it's a cool tune and these guys rock so I floated it up to the cloud!
After several bottles of wine, thetworegs and I were able to coerce Elvis and a few others down in regs basement to come out for a long overdue collab. After all, isn't October collab month?
Thanks again for the great vox!!
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
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…
This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…

this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,

So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....
Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12.
She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
This is a recording from my i phone off my back deck at home in Mill Valley tonight. Everyone howls at 8 pm for 1 minute in solidarity for the healthcare providers during this pandemic with COVID 19. its been going on for over 2 weeks now…
Home from work for 9 days. How is everyone doing? Stay safe and have fun on this weird global time off! got a new FX peddle , super octave, that im using here instead of a bass guitar.
Enjoy! Reef
I recorded the sound samples at St Marks Basilica on the spot....the story you are about to hear is true; not even the names have changed to protect the innocent.
Reg is back on the drink there was no escaping it. He found out that Desirea was not what he thought she was, she had been telling him lies and his hopes were dashed again.............. theres a little mess up on the Xylophone but what can you…
Reg. Stop. This is not good for you. Just copy and paste the following to Desirea: "I just booked you a flight to Gofuckyourselfville and your departure is now."
Comments on Norm's stuff
This whole this is perfect. I think I like the additional perc at around :55, 1:55 ect the best.
has a Pink Floyd ring to it!
this is what I'm talk about!! Rocking! So did your hands hurt hitting the metal?
@ Dave: You know I did!
Totally captivating and beautful. Did you polish it back up after man handling it? Wonderful recording.
YES! Man that bell sounds sweet! Love image of you working the bell as the train rolled on. The only bell I have is a tiny little tibetan bell...maybe I need to find a tiny microphone and work it! Ha ha
Enticing and hypnotic!
i always know i can fave one of your beats,,, even before i hear it.... there always that cool/interesting,, and thanks for the write ups you often do .. very nice

Excellent track Norm as always...i've jumped on this one for the ride ....Do your Dance...Cheers
@ Vaisvil: I just emailed it to you...
Norm I really like it! Is there anyway I could you into sending me the TUBS for the main beat? I want to plagiarize it for a marimba part.
Very Cool Norm!!

Comments made by Norm
What are you doing to this place man?
^Norm
Wow.
Your the greatest Reg! Many thanks and Merry Christmas! 12 years to the day that I uploaded that one...
Great to hear you 2 again. What else do you have in that vault of yours? Where I am from we must really watch out for the moonshine...
What a lovely suprise! Fantastic work Jasmine - it must be a dominant genetic mutation...
Epic.
Don't do it Reg!
I just got the lyrics of this song tattooed down the right side of my ribcage.
Epic.
...still, sort of spooky.
No. John, I seriously do not think this was a dream. He was driving with his legs and playing Bongos the entire time.
This is still so good.
I miss Daisy. (Run Daisy, run!) The collar is off!!
Just what the hell did you tell that splinter?? Stop talking to the enemy!! Nice work here.
Big things in your future, Jazz. I love it. Thanks.
Wait. In my mind it sounds like this all of the time. Nice Conch Ally! P.S. I can hear Mo laughing in the background. :)
Fantastic. And I agree with Bee, it was just the thing for my nice sunny afternoon in her garden.
Now underwater.
