This is so complex rhythmically that I don't know *how* to play along. I'm not sure if one should - it stands on its own - wow. This is a lesson here. Please send Alex my regards for his skill and sharing his cultural heritage.

Inside my heart is too.

As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
This is a bootleg tape of Reg's last music therapy session from when he was in prison prior to his release. It was acquired from his psychiatrist for fee......................
This is a piece written for a small ensemble of Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Flute, French Horn and Percussion in harmonic series tuning using a section from harmonic 12 to 30 reduced to an octave tuning of 15 steps.

I hope you can see the above picture - I scored a 15 chord autoharp zither for $42 on ebay. 4 old guitar strings later (I save them... just in case :-) and a tuning against an organ patch she is working nicely again. Can't wait to show Emily…
In response to a suggestion of Dr. Ozan Yarman I tried a tuning he created for a different project. I realized the composition using Garritan Personal Orchestra Baroque organs, Garritan World sample set Oud and Santoor samples performed on an…
I've really enjoyed this confectionary collection of tastey goodies you have prepared for us. The graham-craker-crust percussion on this one particularly delights my sweet tooth. Well done!
Performed on Fender Mustang, Casio CZ-101 (keys, bass, percussion), vocal. Recorded via overdubbing on two cassette decks with 4 mono input radio shack mixer with radio shack 10 band graphic equalizer. Written in the years of Ronald Reagen's…
Reg has seriously got the blues and can't seem to leave the empty bar, there is just him and Elvis in there. The strange thing is that the tables and chairs are there, the bar and the stools but there is no booze behind the bar just empty glasses…
Reg has left re-hab but now he has to fill those sober hours with something, so he has taken to people watching, but like everything in his life he has become addicted to it, listening in on there private conversation as he follows them, watching…
I think I bit off more than I could actually chew this time and I apologize to Norm and Reg about that. This is a setting of verses from Contemporary English Bible Version of Daniel Chapter 6. I don’t think I orchestrated as much drama from…

Comments on Norm's stuff
this is good, i really like the timing of all these nice percussions. i was tilting the whole time.
Great beat nice one. And thanks for your recent comment.
Great stuff Norm!
Alex tu m'as rappele encore les ceremonies de deces de mon pere ou le hugan a ete joue.
Still one of my favs....
Drum Man!
As for playing with it, I would say, listen to the shaker. It's keeping a steady beat most of the time.
thanks for sharing this. It's great and also educational :)

Yes, I'm loving these great pieces from Alex - Fantastic! The recording quality has been excellent along the way as well.
Rythmic genius
I really love these, well recorded also,. BTW, I cant believe you didnt keep one of the kitchen cabinets on the drum room- those sounded awesome
Spirited playing. A lesson learned for me.
amazing playing! and when closing the eyes, it transports you there right way.. excellent drums!
norm, nice one man.
Very cool!
This is great that he played this with the "tape" running! Can I use this? I would not alter it, as you mentioned it shoud'nt be.
SWEET!!!!! This are some Awesome Beats!
Wow, sharp shooting voodoo! What a treat! Thanks for sharing!
magic rhythm

Excellent!
This is going to get even uglier.
Very nice session. You've come a long ways, Reg.
You know, that photo really says it all. Good grief! Nice work here, Chris!
You can't make the noise if you don't have the toys! Nice find... gotta love ebay for instruments!
Excellent!
Excellent.

Following Reg around today... he knows how to pick them. I made my decision: fave!
Fly fly fly! This is fly!
I REALLY love the R channel guitar riff.
Excellent.
Now this is a crushing burden. Very heavy. How will you carry it Reg? LET IT GO!
Igor is right - don't get too deep into those blues, Reg! I'm starting to worry about your sanity.
I'm glad your liver is feeling better. I just hope that you are being careful not to scare anyone, Reg.
It's a big story to tell in under 5 minutes... but I like what you have done and Reg's vox is great as usual.
Yummy!
