While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
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…

Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.
When…

Second movment,, perhaps a little rough,, comments welcome,,, 6/11 Third mov is now done,,, and very very different from the first two,, scares me a little
Inspired by Tess' little Morwenna and my (getting bigger) Jessica. Writing back and forth with Bethan, I came to realize that a song needed to be written about the significance of the statements that so often come from the mouths of babes…
I cant seem to play this unless I do it live....
That is something new to me...
Used to be the other way around....
This is called "Do or die"...
Do or Die
(words and music by Tharek Mokbul)
Do or die, that’s what Everyone here is…
Made the piano intro up years ago. So every time I sit down at a piano I play it. Hopefully it bolts on nicely to the fat stack riff. The pause at the start is because I had to press record and then dash over to the piano.
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat???
Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for.
Move along..............Move along.

Excellent. That mouse had it coming. Let me know when you are inclined to do a track about your bear problem: you'll need some heavier percussion for that one!
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
@Richard: Many thanks! The quick rapid tone was created by rapidly striking the mallets on the highest pitched (smallest)cabinet. Thanks for listening!

Continued Chris Vaisvil radio interview…
Thanks for posting this, Chris. 2 hours of Chicago radio air time - sweet. You did a great job of music selection. Alas, I did miss hearing your personal commentary on the second hour, but it says something that the radio station thought enough of your work to feature it over a 2 week period.
This is my first effort with real bongos. I've been so inspired by Norm's talents, that I had to give it a try. I borrowed a set of bongos from my brother Asa.

I had to play 18 holes of golf to get my hands…
Nice work! And way to go on the computer closet... basically a cajon. I use cajon quite a bit: the key to building one is to make the striking face out of very thin ("aviation grade") plywood, if you can get your hands on some. Well done!
I had not touched my keyboard for a long time - couple months? So it was inspiring to play it again. I set it up in the living room of the new house and played pianoteq on my laptop using a Just Intonation tuning (below). Actually I had to improvise…
This is a smooth jazz piece built around Norm Harris' percussion using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set with the Aria player and a touch of tonehammer's Francesca sample set. Something Norm and I did last April.
Scored for upright bass…
That bass is simply too cool. I love what you have done with this pattern. Almost has an eastern feel in places...
Having grown up near Winfield, KS (home of Dorothy), I can assure you that they have never heard anything like this before - they'd love it! They'd probably bake you a pie for the opportunity to do a little "scat" vocalization on the mix, and, afterwards, while tending to the livestock, they would ponder about the possibility of there actually being 3 kinds of music: country, Western & JAZZ.
Comments on Norm's stuff
oh yeah, got my feet tappin and head bobbin!!
very neat...
It's working me boss it's working me "................
or the seventh son of a seventh son! My bass is looking at me :-)
How did i miss this one.....excellent...so many good things going on Percussion, Bass, sax guitar...WOW!!!!
What a blinder .......
Wonderful stuff , the children inherit the earth , great percs
Beautiful beats...
A well deserved tribute, and some great beats here, bro! Right on!
Sweet beats and a great tribute!
excellent!!
Norm, I love it. This is all new to me and I'm digging this venue. We'll have to do a song together.
Great beats as always Norm. You can bet I'll be using this. Has anyone done a "Stone Age" playlist yet with all these tributes? hmmm
Beautiful Norm. There will be some great collaborations with this piece for sure! RIP JS
Nice mellow track bro. tempo and beats are right on the money.
Lovely.
That's a beauty Norm! Great stuff!
Performed in whispers. Beautifully and tastefully done Norm.
How cool man we both did a toast to the Stone Age and didn't even know it!! Sweet to hear some new beats from you.
One of your more mellow jams....Rest in peace Johnny.
Comments made by Norm
Just lovely. Well done.
Rocks. Nice work.
Stong work.
Great song!
Just beautiful. Nice work, gents!
Nice piano intro - I can tell you have been playing it for years. I think it works well with your Fat Stack riff.
Excellent.
I've got a fever and the only cure is "more mousetrap"!
Outstanding! Another great percussion track, which we have come to expect from you. Thanks for posting this!
Fantastic!
Well done!

You sound great with it already! I love mandolin.
Folks don't know what they are missing with your stuff. Very tight. I've really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Top notch.
