A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.

She chatted all the way;

Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…
Improvisation on congas and very fragile, clay Moroccan bongos (which my brother found for me from an African display at some zoo!). These bongos are basically clay pots with permanent, very thin goat skins stretched over the top - they can not…
I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
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…

Thanks man, I am learning from the best ;) when I was playing around with the percussion samples last night I kept thinking it needed something, and I listened to your drums a few times and went......COWBELL!!!!
As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
Stealin' Pumpkins off the vine...
Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.
4/4 200bpm
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
I almost missed this one ! cool perc track from start to finish
Totally hot and inspirational! Fabulous beats bringing a sweet melody of their own.
Bethan thinks you should lay down some percussion to add to my Christmas Jam...I don't disagree!
Excellent Norm top rhythm brilliant.
Killer, very nice!
dig it, snr :)
Oh great stuff Norm. What a lovely rhythm. Most enjoyable track.
I agree with Dave very infectious, i've caught it ........oooooooh Yeh........
Your sense of timing is unbelievable man. This is very infectious and cool grooving song. Drums as melodic structure, its very inspired.
Most excellent!
I *love* this - its excellent!!!
I can dig it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!
Cool title and the percussion is spot on as hell...lots of talent Norm.
Great collab very cool dudes.
This one got the head nodding and the foot a tapping.
Yeeahhh!!!!
Thanks man, I am learning from the best ;) when I was playing around with the percussion samples last night I kept thinking it needed something, and I listened to your drums a few times and went......COWBELL!!!!
Even with your troubles I still dig this one man.
This is one of my favorites!! Matt Fulton
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.
