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…
I was waiting for you to break out with your annual awesome percussion but this piece just kept on stretching till the end. brilliant!
cool side of you.
This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…
A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.

D'ya know, I think I like this the best so far.
Your tracks are all so precise, but this one has the edge.
Yeah, what about the video, let's see yer dimples
twitching!

Basically my feeble attempt at a fist pumping 'dance' song... but of course I had to weird it up a bit. :) The main vocalist who basically says variations of 'I like to dance' are my computers voice. Thanks for listening!
This is an experiment where I slowed down Norm Harris’ percussion track “7th Son†http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son and slowed it down by a factor of five and ran it through effects and such – and then played along with my 17…
about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…
Another oldie as I work on other stuff. State of the art PC sound in 1991 was the Adlib card with one OPL2 FM synthesis chip w/o audio capability. Limiting as that was I still had a lot of fun with it. This is one example - I love that lo-fi…
Doom! Count me in!
(Ha! Had to laugh as the 7 sec. mark of this one has that "squeak" sound that I have previously misinterpreted in other songs as being a squeaky bass drum foot pedal... what do I know about computer generated music?)
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Nero's Butterfly Two Star Poem Remix
This is a collaboration with anonymous and my wife. I wrote the script / lyrics and anonymous did everything else. So I can say - I've always admired the excellent performance of both - Debbie did the voice…
This dark reggae tune has been hanging around in my "works in progress" folder for a while, but I was finally inspired to complete it when I borrowed a guitar from my friend Joe. Thanks, Joe!
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.
3rd one for RPM2011. This is an 'oh you'll never get to heaven' type affair inspired by a beer my mate introduced me too. The song is basically about drinking yourself to death and having one up on the healthy brigade having made a rather spectacular…
Comments on Norm's stuff

Not enough cowbell. ;) Very effective! Great tension build-up!! Remind me not to play this late at night.
WOW! I may have to get that program. Fascinating sounds!
Very cool use of PS!
Wow!! Thats some space age gong.......excellent.....like a calling of the Gods.........
whoa! The gong sounds HUGE!
great groove , crisp recording too.

Like where this goes-hypnotic rythm, really hits the chakras. Enjojed Al
this just excellent - the production has great clarity too!
Who needs ice cubes?!

Comments made by Norm
*Grant us peace.* Thanks, for you have.
I love the harmonica here... nice job!
Great fun! (*pumping fist in the air*)
Of course it's about a car! Great work here.
Excellent work! Great collaboration.
I'm surprised the rhythm pattern holds up as well as it does being slowed down 5X - I like the reverb that you have added. Wild stuff!
For the prices Club Med charges, I had expected a somewhat happier sounding place!
Strong work! This doesn't really need any words - speaks alot without them.
I had planned on having my ashes shot out of a cannon, but I think this is a much better idea!
How can such a little thought be so thought provoking?
Just awesome, Richard.

What else can be said about this one, except how did I miss it?? (Apparently I'm the only one who did!) Wonderful Kirk.
Totally pro.
I hear a vibratone! And I thought I was the only guy who had one. ;) *Great* song.
Ah, the good 'ol days of TraxInSpace... this was a classic there!
Whoa! Awesome bass!
@Chris: Man you are fast! I didn't realize the song would post before the description...
Ah, this DOES move very nicely. You are letting your Little Feat influence shine!
Excellent! Reminds me a bit of "Uneasy Rider" by Charlie Daniels, which is a song I have always wanted to cover.
