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.

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…
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 dreamed I met a Galilean;
A most amazing man.
He had that look you very rarely find:
The haunting, hunted kind.
I asked him to say what had happened,
How it all began.
I asked again, he never said a word.
As if he hadn't heard.
And…
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
The passport, acapulco and finding out about the affair with Reg was the final straw ithe saga of Desirea and Reg is finally over Reg has drawn a line in the sand and stepped over it. It over and done he washes his hands of her. So he went out…
@Goose: by "she", do you mean to imply that you asked Desirea to go to a Rod Stewart concert and she wouldn't go with you, but *did* go (on your ticket) with your friend??
Typical Desirea. He must have had more money than you did... and heaven only knows what horrors he eventually had to go through with her. Just be grateful that *you* dodged that bullet, and Reg, *let this be a leason for you.*
Reg has nipped down the cellar tonight to contemplate the big question...this is what he came up with ...he could be wrong who knows...and now he's going for a nice hot bath...............
Reg heard the color of the lonely street by Vaisvil and Norbert and got himself all Jazzy inside.... so he's released it .........by going out for a walk along the lonely street..........
The husbands point of view to this one http://alonetone.com/thetworegs/tracks/your-never-too-old-to-be-a-fool-w-the-old-grey-wolf..... Well Reg has taken on the part of the wronged husband and has been dwelling on his problems all day and now…
Well Reg couldn't end on a bad note tonight not after listening to Norms new track so here's a lovey dovey one to end the night in the hope that Reg can find true love ....it is possible isn't it?........Thanks Norm

My Fender Mustang + Marshall Amp + I dragged out the whammy bar - AKG D950 mic behind the amp and Zoom H2 in front - dropped the tracks into sonar and panned a bit. I also midi recorded the guitar and used the midi to drive upright bass, albino…
This one is for a fest over on Songcrafters called Live in the Living room. I've been trying to play it properly.... seems for hours but my fingers hurt so much i've thrown the towl in and this one will have to do until i can play better…
Left here smilin' but you came back mean
Ain't no need to tell me, I know where you've been
Ya tell me you love me, an' you really care
an' if you just had some more, you'd be happy to share
You came back wantin' once you'd lost in all…
Well tonight we have Mr. Waites in the cellar only for one song but oh what a song it was he sang it for us to celebrate our new single life and to express where our love for Desirea was .......in the Cold Cold Ground......... (They dropped the…
After the other Reg knew that i found out about his affair with Desirea he's done the right thing to save thetworegs and finished with her, he wanted Elvis to help him out on this one he wouldn't he was a little upset at his behaviour. So the…
Excellent!
Let me get this straight - Desiree has had affairs with BOTH of the Regs? Ha! Well, just don't let that twisted groupie break up the band... she's not worth it!!
Comments on Norm's stuff
@MTC: Please! Feel free to add something to my coffee. That's why I post this stuff.
Great job to all!! Killer mix Alister...nice and clear. Loved every last bit of it.
This one's pretty sweet! Would it be alright to try a few things with it?
Now all we need is a name. How about Captain GeNorm and the hound of the Bazevils
now *that* was satisfying!
My mind was read!! I was getting ready to suggest to someone that all those parts should be combined - Great job with this, Mr. Flint!! Dynomiiiiiite!!!!
Agreed on all three points. A cool jam!
How Cool! Love how you can hear a melody in the drums

Daddy got offspring.
Wow, you the daddy!
played your congas like a bass, eh! i think it works pretty well, and a sweet java flavor to it (not the indonesian folk)..
I like the Fx's with the percs. hahah, I really like the hidden Easter egg at the end too
Awesome Norm!
Love it! It's a song within itself. Great job, guys!
Holy Sh*t! That is really something bro! Amazing that it is all Drums! Has a Great Melody! Faved!
great work my friend!!

I think you've started an epidemic. Break out the scratch relief cream.

Stretchy!
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
I still love this one Rick!
Yep. Still.

Great cover of a great song. Well done team!
Superb album! Many thanks!
The synth work is heavenly. I want to do the percussion for the car chase scene in the Savage gangster movie.
Totally pro.
Yes, very impressive! Great stuff.
Totally pro. Dig it!
Beuatiful collaboration, gents.
Eegads! That ending!
Way to go in 2/4!
This would be a big hit in the Dominican Republic. Nice work, mon.
What can I say?
Strong work.
...and playing it back clean!
Good cover and good riddance!
