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

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…
Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
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…
@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!
almost forgotten because while i did this in may of 2009, i forgot about it until just today may 2011,,i was walking out my studio door, when i noticed an old cd with a marking pen title,, brought it with me in the car and took a listen,, not…
Well, here's a quick stripped-down version of a song that I wrote a couple of weeks ago and needed to record just to get it out of my head... Also my first crack at harmonizing with myself (kinda cool, but a bit weird for me to hear me singing…

Jeff has passed over the rainbow bridge today as I held him. We went out back one last time for a few minutes until the sun came back out and it was too hot. He enjoyed that. The last thing he did was put his paw on my hand and left it there…

I heard this beat of Norms this morning bright and early an had to jump all over ilesa in my mind she was her instead of a town it was fun but it didn't last.....the same old story.....it was her fault she was too hot.......What can i say
"I'm dancin'! Ilesa I'm dancin'!". Come to Daddy!! Let's beat it down!
Love the Rhodes as always and Reg had me crackin' up with this one! Ilesa never saw him coming when she walked into that disco, but I doubt she will ever be able to forget his "classic moves".
Somewhere there is a big arena band that would just love to meet you - to handle the graphics for the show. I can remember when we were blown away by a simple liquid oil projection set-up, ala Iron Butterfly, Grateful Dead, et. al. But this really takes the cake. Well done.
Reg was out for a stroll in town and met Jed who was homeless sitting on the pavement with his hat out in front of him. Reg stopped to have a chat with him to see if he could help. Reg expected him to have a sad story but to his surprise he hadn…
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!

Really love the name norm! The percussion is spot on Ace as always. Shabbat Hamalka- the queen of the seventh dat of the week.

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!!
Great percussion. Love it.
Had me off the edge of my seat! Spookily done to perfect effect!

What a treasure to find! I agree with Reefwalker: there's lots of good stuff in this one.
Chuckie! Nice work. Ominous.
Strong work!
Sweet!
I just love that growling fretless bass.
This is really cool Chris.
A great cover of a legendary song. More Ziggy!
Stay away from the mirrors Reg!
Much beauty can be cultivated in 80 years... and perhaps true beauty always forgets itself.
I like the reverb on this one Reg. Have you considered an exorcism?
WHOAA!
Now that's an impressive 5 minute gestation. How did the harp work as a ski?
Sidney is my kind of guy!
Excellent splash cymbal you have there Hojo! What kind is it?
Good question.

Excellent!
Good lesson here... nice to meet a non-addicted vagabond to refresh one's perspective.
