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…
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.
Check out Vincent…

@Jarvis:
A bandoneon is a type of concertina, sort of like an accordion, popular in Argentina... Piazolla is considered to be one of the masters of this instrument, (good question... I had to look it up myself).

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…

-In A Day-
Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…
I sent the tracks for this tune to a friend of mine who owns a professional studio. I gave him no instructions on how to mix it, as I wanted someone else's take on the music. He created a very dry, intimate mix, focusing more on the acoustic guitars…
Coolest song I ever heard. And to think that you nailed it on the first take! I was laughing through-out the song (well, except the part about your dog getting the blue tongue - I almost cried at that part).
When I wrote this it was a cold cloudy and dark winter night here in vancouver but I was sitting in my room and was just in a sunny state of mind. I then picked up my Uke and started fiddlin around searching for a breezy chord progression, then…
well I thiiink it was one of the maaaany times in which we would go down to the pMundo beach by the river build a fire, burn one (a couple) down and jam out loud, where I came up with this beautiful chord progression. It was then about a week…
Dead to the World
Just a shade
A specter, a ghost
No place amongst the society of perfect being!
Dead to the World
Alien, unwanted
Not here, unseen
Untagged, uncounted
Lost, unwanted, despised, no home, no place, no Soul!
Dead…
Well, you already know I adore this one: 5/4 meter, an unforgettable & unique hook, wicked guitar licks and a killer percussion/bass groove. It’s just perfect.
I'm singing lead on this. It was recorded to 24 track, 2 inch tape, I'm thinking. I have those somewhere, but they've turned gooey. Sadly, it seems to go into the red during the chorus, but I can't fix that now. I have more stories about the…
The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
I thought this was a Hapi drum (or perhaps a Hang Drum), which I just love. Very nice work on it, Mark, as well as the djembe & dumbek. And Chris' guitar work makes even nicer. Strong work guys!
Mat and Jodi have been separated by a vast divide in time and space. AND YET! they can still create the distucto! as if by magic.
this track was part made in Brooklyn this morning and afternoon and simultaneously in Berlin this afternoon and…
walking down the street in the 1973, you're wearing yellow tinted shades, and a hat with a feather in it. Your switchblade is in your pocket, but you're not gonna need to use it today. Cause the sun is shining and folks are eating ice cream…
Well sure, you could call me a sucker for anything with a ukulele in it, but I REALLY like this one. Great percussion work. And the simple hook used to "respond" to the uke is my very favorite part. Excellent work!
these 2 "new" songs are a test to see if I now have what I need to successfully upload material. These 2 songs were recorded 20 years ago on a Tascam 4-track. The band is the Riptiles.
Comments on Norm's stuff

Very cool, it reminds me of Zelda for some reason....then again my brain is a little gone today. ;)

What is a Bandoneon ? Is it a mispelled Onion that is not allowed into bars? Or wha'? Nice punchy percussion to the tango. Nice jarv
Well you had me wondering as I read the background story,I thought hell he must have been battering the bloody hell out of those drums,poor sod.....Nice track

Now this is one cool groove. Fantastic percussion!
Now this is an awesome song. Great vocals!
I really enjoy this one. Many thanks!
Simply beautiful. Thanks.

Good one!
Nice work - I love the accordian in this one too.

Fantastic voice!
This is totally awesome. Very creative. Thanks!
Now that's what I'm talking about! Great stuff. I'd love to be able to get my hands on a Hang Drum - the Hapi sounds just like one here.

"... on your eyeball". ROFL!
I must be part Korean or something... I like it!
I want to see the video.
Ooh-la-la! Très bon!
LOL at the introduction here...

Rad. Way rad.
This is way hip! This is the sort of vintage surf guitar sound I had in mind for my "Surf Naked" percussion track. :)
