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…

Good point, Gumbo! That is the nature of "cross-over" patterns: they involve 2 rhythms with *different meters* which are played at the same *tempo*. So, regardless of listening to this pattern through the lens of 4/4 (8 beats/bar) or 3/16 (12 beats/bar), both patterns are played at the same tempo, i.e. 180bpm in this case. These patterns have measures that start at the same point, but do not end at the same point until cycling through 24 beats each - at which point they "cross-over"; a point that is illustrated by the clave in this example.

lovely - my only connection to this kind of polyrhythm is thru the Grateful Dead whose two drummers used to explore and experiment thusly.
I like that you can say it has 4 beats AND 6 beats to the measure and then say that it has 180 bpm ;-)

Artist's description:
Forgive me my voice!
This may be the most difficult vocal part I have written and tried to sing - but the vocal dissonance IS intentional.
Everything here (except vocals of course…
To the Wind baby!
Thanks for the vocal on this Mark bro!
You inspiered a band name....

This was Done on Logic.. Hope Y'all like it.

I loaded Sonar with a couple audio tracks + echo and recorded my wife's seagull acoustic via a dean markley soundhole pickup.
After the take I multiplied a couple times and edited a touch.
This is really just a test for a planned piece like…
3 guitar tracks followed by a track with the trap set. A lot of alt tuning lately posted on AT which I like. This guitar was tuned to an open G. After I did it, I thought the sound was more like a backwoods, hillbilly song.
Unfortunately…
I apologize for not listening much hear to other people's music lately. I do have an excuse because this week we have moved to a new home which has taken up lots of my time - and right now we are in the new location but living with lots of boxes…
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
a collaboration of Alister Flint - Carlo Serafini - Chris Vaisvil
so, Chris did this. Carlo did that. and i added some. for the technical stuff, see below. :)
This piece uses multiple tunings simultaneously and is the inaugural…
This is a chord progression I found when waiting for Debbie to come home.
Left channel is a piano voice via GR-20, right channel my Mustang's own voice through the DOD FX-7
Any collaboration would be welcome.
Everyone has a first time....
This is an "out-take" from the You EP. Written in 2000 it was not finished as far as it is until 2005. Being lazy I just adapted the original rough take I made so I would not forget the song.
There are a few electric…
This is a short soft Jazz piece I found while playing through a few chords this evening.
Guitar split (GR-20) left and right + (GR-20) sax.
Maybe a certain percussionist might join in when he can?
Trax in Space appeared to be shutting down - so this was a musical interpretation of the pending demise. As it turned out TiS is still struggling to breathe => not too unlike those smokers on oxygen you see in anti-smoking ads.
The Wife is a self confessed “Not a morning personâ€.....
I am a morning person (well... Wake up happy person).... and so is the boy....
This causes some friction sometimes.... LOL!!!!!!!
We went to a church fate today... Was…
Ojalá (If only) it's a cover of Sebastian Santa Maria's original song.
For me it's a great honor recording this cover of this fabulous Chilean artist.

Okay, so this is awesome fellas - you're like some explosive cocktail of cool. Kicking major butt, three times!
Each of you kick ass. Together you three are magical! Excellent work fellas. JR
Norm, you are the freakin' coolest! This tune meant a lot to me and now it's on a pedestal. T is gonna love this when he hears it! Thanks, bro - Perfectly done.
wow, what a cool collab. the 3 musicians and instrument sounds mix well. I would crash into this late night show any day of the week
excellent!! I really like this collab! The voice perhaps could be a touch louder other than that this is excellent!
Damn that's a tough count. Super job man. Super.
This is fantastic Norm. Keep bringing me the lessons. I love it. Gotta go try this one now!!!!
I like all your tracks, so excellent sounding.
This is fantastic, seriously.
complex pattern and really good timing. Great percussion track S to F
Hey..call me at st. john Lutheran. we need to talk! I love this sound!
that's sooooo voodoo! technique's great yes, but the vibe is simply excellent! and your timing is just getting better and better O_o

LOVE IT!
Excellent!!
Crazy great.
Oh my, sublime, El Norm! Would you be terribly offended if I had a play around with this?
thanks for explaining the count btw - that helps a lot

I don't know how you keep time like this, but it's incredible!
