Ok, so I'm just a percussionist, and if your only tool is a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. I get it. And I also get that our songs are our children, so we should be very careful about whom we let them play with.
When I first heard…
HaHaHa!
I am still laughing at you, the collective interweb. No idea, right? Then admit defeat. I am the only person on earth who can conquer this melody. (Not really vain, just looking for mathematical discussion.)

Merengues are fast arrangements with a 2/4 beat, originating from the Dominican Republic. The traditional instrumentation includes a "güira" (guiro), which is a percussion instrument that sounds like a scrapper. The Merengue güira is a cylinder…

There are a bunch of bass tracks going on here. Headphones help pick out what's going on. This one came to me leaving Taos on the drive back to Phoenix, coming down out of the canyon. I suddenly became conscious of a disturbing dream from the…
Deadlines, freeways, appointments, things to do lists, expectations, getting older, not enough hours in the day to get everything done? ..... make each day and moment count! Thanks to Dave Matthews for a lick I threw in there. Enjoy!
title is self-explanatory, past tense however.
i really wanted a song that had the flow, emotional intensity and unpredictability of an ocean. perhaps that's a bit cliche.
done over the period of two months in a little dark room with an…
*apology for the artifacts
so this was a song sitting around for a while, didn't know what to do with...common occurrence. anyways, i wanted to create a song that had a bit of a 'grainy' vinyl feel to it, with nice, slightly distorted highs…
Its my first attempt at writing a piece for piano. I think this would probably best be played by two players..
if I ever write out the piece on paper, it might have to be so.
I would value any of your comments greatly, as I greatly want to improve…
My second attempt at writing a piece for solo piano. Quite obviously the inspiration were Philip Glass Steve Reich and Terry Riley.
I hope you like it.
Ha! I couldn't believe it when I heard this. I've got to tell you that I have played this very pattern on my congas many times - it is the quintessential consonant (i.e. congruent, enharmonic) 1.5:1 polymeter – aka 4 vs.6. The higher pitched piano notes playing 6 beats/bar and the lower (basically) 4 beats/bar. "The 4 pushes the 6 like a gorilla pushing a swing". It is easy to get lost in patterns like this because it can be listened to from the vantage point of either the 4 or 6. One of my favorite examples of this effect is "Carol of the Bells". Nice work.
This is our little bundle of joy now grown up to be 10 years old. She took up the flute this year at school and this is her first effort in front of my microphone.
She decided on the flute after watching some vids of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull…
As the song says, this is a song I wrote for the RPM Challenge. I simply took my actual experience beginning at 12 midnight on February 1st, and a couple or three hours later I had my first song. The player takes away the intensity of this track…
Jarvis, yes it does have a "Wipeout" sound to it - I was trying to get that sort of vintage surf music feel into a drum pattern. Now if I can only find a guitarist to do that quick decending "doodle-loodoo-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle" surf guitar lick at the very beginning... what in the world do you call that cool sound anyway?
Comments on Norm's stuff
Great contribution on both your parts!
SO cool
That's cool guys, Kirk throw in the POG (Electro Harmonics)
It is easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission. Thanks Kirk.
HA! Cool- Love what you did with this Kirk
@Reef: That's the spirit! Have your way with it!
Loving it Norm!!
Good to hear from your skin's brother ! Hmmmmm, Am I working this weekend ? nope ! * frantically downloading percussion track and arranging makeshift studio :)
Yes!! Been too long !! Great to hear your beats !
Very refreshing! I've been doing a little work lately with a music producer who is using a drum machine on everything. This is much better.

Different and intriguing.
Well I like this just fine. That's the ticket Norm.
so much talent here! wonderful work,,
It was nice having the old gang back together ...Thanks all for your ears
Utt! Supergroup alert.
The super trio! Very cool vocals, guitars and percussion with norm. Good stuff
Brilliant, boys!
Eerie, but cool song. Nice collaboration.
Nice one dig it
Comments made by Norm
Very spooky indeed!
Nice jam!
Wow! Fantastic!
Outstanding!
Excellent!
Groovy!
This is my personal favorite of all your beatiful pieces. Well done!
I'll bet that this beautiful concerto is an absolute treasure to your daughter.
Beautiful.
Debussy was truly one of the pioneer rock stars... thanks for illustrating that for us!
Massive. Nice work!
Your best yet! Awesome!
Way cool. Man, that's a lot of tracks!! Epic.
I find it fascinating that your first attempt at writing a piece for piano is in 7/8 time signature! Cool beans!

Nice work, Nina! My 12 year old son plays the flute as well, and Ian Anderson is a huge hit around our house too. Great collaboration.
Hilarious! Well done! **drooling**
Those must be space pants, because this is out of this world!
I must admit that I actually WAS singing along! Good one!
