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…
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…

I think this is great work, Norm, and so pro as usual. Nothing like real beats - Period!

Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

Deep and raw....I FNG LOVE this, if i could fav it twice i would. It would be better if you could play this over very large speakers in an ampitheater. Low bass shakin your knee's.

This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
I often stop and think of William

This piece came from controversy over ratings at another website called www.traxinspace.com
Tricky (Jeroen Broks) wrote and recited a poem that a number of people put to music in an impromptu competition. Original http://www.traxinspace.com…
I think it is very smart that AT does not have a system of "ranking" or "rating" songs other than "favorite". Such a system, by it's very nature, is just going to hurt somebody's feelings.

This is a piano improvisation that mixes Pianoteq in Werckmeister III tuning with Cakewalk’s True Piano in 12 equal. What results is a soft phased piano sound. This skirts right on the edge of what can be considered microtonal. Some may well…
Well, I didn't understand what you had to say about the tones of this piece, but I enjoyed it.
And what a photo. Desperate. But well dressed. I sort of wish that was still the fashion...
"No ducks were hurt or killed during the production of the tune" is perhaps more of a reflection of your shooting skills as opposed to your musical skills. ;)
I’m glad your finger is better – I misunderstood how it was hurt. Garcia never let something as trivial as a finger slow him down either.
thetworegs - amazing vocals (is that really you Elvis, damn, what a vocal)
Dave - Electric guitar, synth, bass, drums from Boss microBR.
This was a labour of love. I have loved this song, and this version (Elvis) as long as I can remember…
Oh, this is priceless! Where do I start?
1. I'm sorry to hear you got punched in the nose.
2. Get your camo off and head over to my house- I have the orange sauce waiting and the grill is hot.
3. Either those are field recordings or your calling is even better than I remember.
4. The first 3 shots were yours, which was always your way of saying "uh, guys, there's some Sprigs overhead..". The last shot, of course mine - which actually produced a Sprig.
Excellent! Very clever.

Fisherman and the Siren by Lord Frederic Leighton
This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).

Norm has been teaching a master's class in percussion and gave me (a lot!!) of guidance to try to add bass properly to this. I added 5 string bass, Fender Mustang and GR-20 sax to his excellent Tumbao track. We hope you enjoy it.
At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.

I bought a $50 Woods DW-15 acoustic dreadnought 12 note per octave guitar at Guitar Center, fret wire, and a fret saw.
After a couple days of work I made a usable 18 note per octave guitar.
Most of the details and lots of pictures are on my facebook…
East-West Choir went on sale and I received and installed my copy yesterday. So this is a quick improvisation for ImprovFriday. Boys choir, double bass, tuba, celesta, bass drum, timpani and electronics.
Comments on Norm's stuff
Killer track!
Very incredibly super fine in every way. Monstrous good sound here guys. Norm your percussion is spot on the money, great, great drumming here.
I sometimes forget how good you are, bro. This one reminds me...
Excellent! I hate it when a nut falls off!
I can't help but chuckle when I read the title, but I guess I'm quite juvenile :) I think this is great work, Norm, and so pro as usual. Nothing like real beats - Period!
hey your time was utilized correctly. i love the beat!
excellent! I really like this one
Negative ghost rider, that polly rhythm pattern is full. Awww man, theres something about a 24 minute poly rhythm solo that makes conga stands fall apart !
Great job mate dig it. Thanks for your recent comment mate. Just had to bring that one back.
I really must get around to having a go at one of youir super rhythmn tracks....tempus fuggit etc !

Oh yeah, now where's the sacrifice?
your percussion mojo keeps getting better and better. the cow bell really drives this home. great groove.
excellent groove
Deep and raw....I FNG LOVE this, if i could fav it twice i would. It would be better if you could play this over very large speakers in an ampitheater. Low bass shakin your knee's.

Spooky video is very well done!
Very nice! I like the horns!
Excellent!
Lucy has seen the future and it is microtonal!

A wonderful performance of a classic.

Very motivating!
Lovely!
Wonderful sounds and an adorable hedgehog!
Chris, are you asking Reg for the lyrics or the bait? Oh, wait. He probably has both...
Exactly what bait does one use to hook one of those, anyway?
Bass directly on the ponche (2+), right where it belongs! Well done Chris!
@ Dave: You know I did!
@ Vaisvil: I just emailed it to you...
This is way hip, Chris.
Great sounds!
