well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-)
nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.

Good lord this is creative! It's amazing you percussion-heads buy any gear at all :)
And a mesmerizing track as well. I could picture a tribe of cannibals playing this to their captured meal, making him/her relaxed, subdued and presumable more tender!

Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!

Dude, of course this is an instant fav. Yemey and I were hanging out in Togo when I first showed him this pattern. I call it the "King of Windsor" pattern. Naturally, he couldnt tell you this as his english is Kwaai. The lyrics are old too, its about my brother, Norm, the last time he went pheasant hunting. Excellent, man thanks for sharing this

This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…
Yep. It's official. I finally broke through micro-tonally! Vaisvil plotted the conga scale sample at the end of the track on his V-vocal software, which demonstrated the 6 note scale I used ran from F to C#. So much for tuning via my tin ear - but on the other hand maybe my micro-tonal appreciation is just maturing.
I like both riffs - and that big, phat bass sound. Thanks for working with the "Itchy" pattern... it had an itch that couldn't quite get scratched, and the only cure was some funky bass!
Life is a quest for knowledge and a simple realization that not only is there so much we don't know but to declare it somehow is empowering. A great collaboration with Norm who is an amazing percussionist and a super cool guy! Thanks for the…
Well, I don't know what I don't know, but I do know that your guitar work rocks and is just what my "Skin On Skin" pattern needed! It was a banner idea of yours to combine the two of them - thanks for sinking about it.
There is a video for this below
Its all a bit cliche I know - but its what I wanted to do. All of the video footage was taken by me in an undisclosed location somewhere. This is a microtonal piano improvisation that uses Lucy tuning 0b6s meantone…
I've always found that talking to God involves much more listening then talking. And listening to this is a pleasure, as my ear matures to appreciate micro-tonal work. And, I suspect, you will miss the view from the undisclosed location.
Having fun this week at my own expense, not my genre but what the heck. I used all the kids that were playing at my house on Monday for the chorus - had a blast.
Collaborators: my kids Dylan, Zack, Ally with Jake Henning , Haley Henning

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…
This is first rock kind of song by our group "Quartet In Space". I hope you can enjoy with this one.

Ahem. It's a "Quartet in Space" only because actually physically putting these 5 guys in the same room would simply not be safe, but you can be certain it would sound fantastic.
Not terribly odd except for how I did it with Fretless gutiar.
I recently bought a used Fender Squier for $60, pulled the frets with pliers, filled the cuts with plastic wood, sanded, and jammed. Took about 2 hours to make the guitar fretless…
You + a self-modified fretless guitar + a universe of microtonal possibilities = we’re never going to get you off of that thing! Brilliant! Bold move! I can’t wait to hear some more of this.

You rat. That last voice sample caught me off guard... brought tears to my eyes, of course. That's my dad! What a nice Father's Day tune! Outstanding production. I can personally vouch that all the scenarios portrayed in this song are 100% factual.
A tune composed late in 2009, i've released it as well as other two tracks and some photos from a friend of mine as a micro-ep recently for free! Enjoy!
This is using a tuning I borrowed from The Smashing Pumpkins, which goes E-A-D-G#-B-E. Not…
This is the first song I uploaded to share on the internet when I first donned the name Alpha_Alpha. Thanks to fellow 'lonetoners and SoOn friends Norm and Vaisvil for contributing to make this song really special!
Ha! That cow-bell still nearly knocks me out of my chair everytime I hear it! ;) I'm always the last to find out anything... I didn't realize until today that you were posting on AT. Welcome!
For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom!

Comments on Norm's stuff
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-) nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
they sound excellent ! Is there a way you can stop with your kitchen remodel and keep the cabinets as they are???
Wow, you are indeed a man of many talents! Pat Eby
Bit hard to add anything to this one. Jolly good show.
Bloody hell, I bet you could make my kitchen sing!
Good lord this is creative! It's amazing you percussion-heads buy any gear at all :) And a mesmerizing track as well. I could picture a tribe of cannibals playing this to their captured meal, making him/her relaxed, subdued and presumable more tender!
Damn! They did have lovely tones! I gotta download some of your stuff to jam to. Is that a bottle of Guinness on the shelf? Good man yourself!
Syncopation Like no other! Loving this! Reminds me Of my trip to Nigeria! Is it Africa-fest on the site or something? FAVED!
You have done it again Bro! From The First beat, I was Hooked! Love it!
This is amazing!
wow - this is complicated!! and cool!
WOW! Amazing stuff!
Gobsmacked !
I love it. It sounds true and real and natural. I LOVE it.
Had to listen again....still love it!
pure percussion genius!
@RW: Ha! Thanks, but that's a bold faced lie - I've never missed a pheasant.

very very nice!
Yes - I love it. Masterfully played and produced. It's a really tight beat, and sounds as one in a lot of places. Very impressive!
Comments made by Norm
You make that Roland sound like an entire symphony! Sis is right, quite menacing.
Groove me out, bass daddy!

Brian sets an irresistible trap for catching some wild Vaisvil saxamaphone. Well done!

Yeah, I'm still diggin' it too.
Beautifully understated. I sure that your better worse half loves you all the worse better for it...
Nice playing and good job recording/mixing as well!
Nice one! Don't put it back!
I posted a remix today which adds Lexicon "Drum Hall" reverb and a bit of compression.

I have posted a new mix processed via a Lexicon MX200 to add "drum plate" reverb and a bit of compression.
Nice!
