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…
The relationship is going wrong. You suddenly realize that those so called friends of yours are paying a little bit too much attention to your honey................ (Take 2 remixed to see if i could get the voice cleaner)
With his lottery money Reg has invested in becoming a funk star. The other reg came up with the tune and Reg jumped all over the thing......come and get funky with thetwoReg
another home recording using a Zoom MRS-1044 and 3 mics on the amps and lizzie. the geeky stuff, fender strat with the David Gilmour EMG setup through and Ampeg reverberocket amp. Sam used his boogie amp with his Ibanez.

Track 6 on Tarbosaurus Antagonist. Written and recorded from February 2009- January 2010. This is a T.Rex cover, but I didn't want to interrupt the flow of the album.
Reg is addicted to this new lady who has started to frequent down at the cellar she appears as if by magic late in the evening and then seems to disappear before Reg can get close.....
Careful Reg! She could be a hallucination! I don't like the sounds of this... er, well, I mean the sounds of this situation.
The sounds of the song are top-notch, as always.
I thought the hand claps were a bit weird but I wasn't running this dog and pony show. See more notes under "red cowboy" and "I left my toothbrush in St. Louis".
Reg has been trying to learn the art of slowing down, relaxing under the pressure of abstinence.......................it seems to be going well .............
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!

Don't worry about tomorrow - tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Great space!
Lovely.
Nice cover!
Yes, the bass line is awesome. Nice work here.
Peachy!
Outstanding.
