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.

I must admit that those drums do rather make me want to get up and dance.
This is a great track guys!
Nope, I don't notice any warts, not even a little pimple!

Once again,, very fine,,, long ago,, people used to clear the floor also when i got up to dance,, but it wasn't because i was good, or they wanted to watch,, i think it was more out of a desire to get away from the strange guy,, ah well youth.. well done
In Argentina they say "in Argentina everything may change - except the tango", but I couldn't resist adding some percussion to this beautiful nuevo tango by Vincent Voois, composed in the style of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla.

Improvisation on Gon-Bops congas, while thinking of future days gone by.
4/4 180bpm.
LYRICS
A cool wind brings the fall
And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
Inside my heart is too.
And I don't know how to…
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…
For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom!

This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…

Most enjoyable!
Faith? Much better than hindsight, when you know you should have taken the basket but didn't.

Norm's original 12/8 percussion track that forms the basis for the entire piece. http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/mother-nut-drop

A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot.
This is one of the hidden tracks on my new album "Black Cat" which features Beth, Keith and Reewfwalker from alonetone and Geir and Jim from Songcrafters.

Year: 1999
Album:
Land of the Lost
Artist's description:
I don't remember where I got the drum set from but there is a custom percussion loop thanks to HammerHead.
The voice is mine suitably modified.
That is not a sequencer…
Reg has been over to Songcrafters.org on the other side and found this little beauty a piece of music by Willi Wendon and he loved it so much he's put a vocal to it. Hope you like it Willie..........

improvisation with pianoteq and hollywood strings
I am feeling like all of my improvisations sound the same again. I probably need to devote even more time to scoring - and building instruments.
Reg was alone so he had a few beers and had a look through his tapes this is Pt 1 of a set of tapes taken from the cellar.......Regs first night in the cellar...James Brown ...Elvis....Louis...Jim.The story begins.........
Here's my talley of who's in the cellar with the Regs Deuce:
James Brown, Henwrench, Vincent Price, Elvis, Frederico, Louie Armstrong, Bon Scott, Frank Sinatra, Jim Morrison and perhaps Satan.

This was going to be a re-make of Dancing on my own but reg was too busy to participate so i have used Norms percussion track and got Chris Vaisvil to bass it up and i have added a vocal creating something new. Reg has had a lot of trouble with…
Reg's little homage to Elizabeth Taylor who passed away today, the piano is a little dodgy and the lyrics and the singing in parts as i'm following my dodgy playing, it will have to be revisited but i thought i'd share anyway as i would forget…
I have tried to make a literal representation of this from Mat Cooper:
"I consider rhythm to be ultra-low pitch. Polyrhythms are then Just Intonation. For example if rhythm1 cycles through 4 beats in the same time as rhythm2 cycles through 3…
Well, is it microtonal? What do you make of this?
As for me, when it is in a tempo range that I can follow (mid range) it sounds like a basic 4vs.3 polyrhythm. This makes sense to me, as all of the drum tones drop back into the their common denominator of 4 or 3 and resound in unison.
So, I get the sense of polyrhythm, but not microtonality.
It would be interesting to me to repeat this experiment with, for example, piano key tones to see if the results are the same, i.e. is one left with a sense of 4vs.3 polyrhythm or something else.
My hypothesis is that the effect will be the same. I do not believe the pitch of the notes relate to this question. And I also think that at this point I do not agree with the premise that "polyrhythms are then Just Intonation": polyrhythms represent a relationship in time, whereas Just Intonation represents a relationship in pitch.
Comments on Norm's stuff
Norm's overdubing percussion is a tight add on to this sweet funky Rreggy track. love it!
A great job there Norm those skins are definitely helping Reg's dance...........
I must admit that those drums do rather make me want to get up and dance. This is a great track guys! Nope, I don't notice any warts, not even a little pimple!
@ Richard: Keep dancing Richard - I'm right behind you and it's not going to be pretty.
Once again,, very fine,,, long ago,, people used to clear the floor also when i got up to dance,, but it wasn't because i was good, or they wanted to watch,, i think it was more out of a desire to get away from the strange guy,, ah well youth.. well done
I don't know how i missed this .... now where did i put those dancing shoes?........
yep yep yep...
Thank you for your nice comments,let us say that you have a lot of very interesting ideas using you percussion,here and there!
Ah the rich flavorful sound of the Conga is super:) thank you for that Norm!
Yes, like the Reg's say, excellent.
Faith is a gift, not something you can independently improve.
My basket is always half full......
I need to fix my basket. Inspirational, Norm.
excellent
Improv or not, this is really awesome.
a refreshing change up. one of my favs. forget the metronome. really like the (gong)? in the beginning too
Most excellent! Love that bit where the downbeat gets hidden for a time and then returns. Very cool!
Took the advice and put on the headphones. Oh yeah! Most enjoyable! Faith? Much better than hindsight, when you know you should have taken the basket but didn't.
Brilliant mate top job Norm. This is excellent mate.

Strong work brother!
I still love it...

Where do I get an application to be the house percussionist at this place??
Brilliant!
Still dig it. Great vass, Baisvil! And vox heavenly.
Great collaboration. Awesome bass.
Yet another side to your amazing voice, Reg. Impressive.

Great recording technique. Naturally, I can't help but think of old Saturday morning cartoons on the television when I hear music like this. Love it!
