Brilliant song! Love the complex patterns and also the "drone" soundscape in the background (yes, I would guess it is done with a modular synth, but I know you do not use that :-))

"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
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…

Man, i need to go back through all your collabs now...:) This is yet another great track. I think your kids had the right idea, it fits perfect with the music man!
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
"Afoxe" is a rhythm played by carnival groups from Bahia in Northeastern Brazil. It is named after an instrument that is traditionally used to play this pattern: an afoxe is a beaded gourd; aka "shekere". In this rendition, I replaced the shaker…

HYSTERIA
poem by: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps…
Ha! Very clever! I love the bass lick and vox... and I'm very proud to be a part of your first accoustic recording of cornet, flute and harmonica. Historic indeed.
And what an interesting poem. I read up on it. Some highlights:
With "Hysteria" Eliot created an unconventional poetic diction by using verse rhythms that were based on the cadences of speech rather than poetic structure.
It is possible that the laughter may be a product of the woman’s ‘hysteria’, but it is more likely that the title applies to the narrator’s reaction to that laughter. “As she laughed,†he begins, “I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter and being part of it.†He begins to feel as though he has physically become the laughter he is observing."
"The narrator’s goal is to collect pieces of the details he was able to capture in order to rebuild a coherent reality. The reader is left somewhat skeptical of this goal, however, because of the narrator’s doubtful language. “If†the woman’s breasts “could†be stopped, “some†fragments “might†be collected. Each line contains two distinct words of uncertainty, and by the end we are not sure that the narrator’s hysteria can be cured.
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
Layla and Majnun is a classical Arabian love story. It is based on the real story of a young man called Qays ibn al-Mulawwah from the northern Arabian Peninsula,[6] in the Umayyad era during the 7th century. There were two Arabic versions…
This is an improvisation (with a bit of editing where my timing got off by a lot) for this week’s ImprovFriday event
I used my M-Audio 88es to drive:
Korg MS2000
ARP 2600 V soft synth
Absynth 5 soft synth
Session 3 drummer soft synth
Pianoteq…
Carlsbad is a great cave... perhaps a bit commercialized: it actually has a US Post office in it's depths - 750ft below the ground.
But the reverb in this piece is excellent: fitting of the 7th largest cave chamber in the world. Well done. (It would have been a long process getting that large of a choir up out of the cave on it's small elevator.)
Norm Harris provides percussion and percussion "toys". I programmed my Korg MS2000 to a 12 note subset of 17 equal and added some Kontakt choir, absynth (both in 17 edo) and some field recordings from this week. I seem to be drifting into these…
I like your nurse, but whatever she gave me is freaking me out a bit. Who brought the chipmunks to church?
Menacing work, V. Menacing. Sounds like a rough week.
"Fordham & Walton" is a slinky, earthy groove with concise and funky guitar work, dynamic pocket drums, head-nodding bassline, authentic percussion and raw, soulful vocals.
From Soulganic's debut album "All Directions Forward".
J.V. Andres - guitar, vocals
Veejay Andres - piano, vocals
Played as the final song and recessional during a church Advent service. A Sufjan arrangement using traditional lyrics by Reginald Heber.
For everyone who lives in a bright sunny place. Got lots of snow in the mountains today.
On days like these, there are only 4 things to do:
1)start fire
2)shovel snow
3)Make music (inside, not on deck)
4)access EWABS (emergency wine and beer…
Fire? Check.
Snow shovel? Well, check (if I must - but I get to punt on one too, right?)
Make music? Check. Congas tuned and awaiting their beating.
EWABS? Check. Ready for a blizzard.
Thanks for the 4 suggestions... although Monk has a nice addition. We are booked to get mucho snow tomorrow so I'll hopefully have an excuse to stay home and get something really important accomplished for a change, ELM or not.
Comments on Norm's stuff
interesting,, thought on the idea of faith,, i agree with WS,, sounds excellent with headphones,,, i like you logo,,, very cool,, excellent work
There is nothing stinky about this excellent stuff
excellent
Brilliant song! Love the complex patterns and also the "drone" soundscape in the background (yes, I would guess it is done with a modular synth, but I know you do not use that :-))
Damn fine groove here, i agree with W.S. i need to cruise back over this tonight with a good set of cans on.
Good work Norm
Agree with Chris, This is really nice...especially in HD headphones..
excellent!
Deeeeeeeelish, bro! I love it!!
Ive said it before this is excellent, too excellent just to have for xmas
Yes you, seemingly, the master of a rhythm! I like this.
Ah yes, what a sweet tune-still one of my favorites.
Hooray!!!! for the chocolate cat
killer percussion on this one too man!
Man, i need to go back through all your collabs now...:) This is yet another great track. I think your kids had the right idea, it fits perfect with the music man!
Now how the heck did i miss this......damn this is sweet! Nice work on the drums Norm!
Love it Norm! Thanks for the comment!
Not sure if I should be wiggling about like this, hey why not!
Slick-ster deluxe. Very colorful.
This is excellent, really something to listen to closely.

Great vox! I like the horns as well as the unsympathetic left channel choristers, observing the narrator walks alone. Well done.
Beautiful job, Emily! I love it!

This is excellent! Great percussion and bass groove. Well done!
Here's to the ingenuity to customizing the tool to work for you, rather than the other way around. Sounds really great!
Cool story about Majnun. Very pro sounding production. Horns sound great to me.
I always love your piano work. Now this really works. I had to look up "Euler's Constant" but it's still Greek to me. Quite a mysterious number.

Glad I listened up. Great voice.
What a voice! Great, funky, funky funk.
Oh so funky. Most excellent!
Ahh. You saved the best for last on your album. Excellent, all.
Very nice. I'm loving all the Christmas songs on AT today... well done VJ & JV.
Excellent. The percussion work is delightful.
I hope that you've found them by now! Great fun!
Excellent!
This is excellent!
