One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…
Wow...
This has got the Awesome Factor big time!
I let my kid do some Synth for one of my tracks the other day... There is nothing in the world greater than Being able to share time like this with them!
I think is is amazing that this is a poem that you heard as a Child as well, and are now recording with your own children..
Warms The Heart Bro!
A Wonderful and Well Performed track!
It's really Spooky as well! Bonus!! :)
Well Done All!!
Peace

Ok, so I'm just a percussionist, and if your only tool is a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. I get it. And I also get that our songs are our children, so we should be very careful about whom we let them play with.
When I first heard…

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…
great playing! What kind of mics did you use to get such a crisp sound? And..by the way, wouldn't it suk if aliens came and used our skin for drums? lol

How did I miss this? Very cool and original - No idea how you managed to perfectly sync with the piano. Love it, though.
(And yes, it was a while ago, but I still miss my dog. You never get over it do you? But I really see the humor in a sad dude pining away over his lost dog, too!)

I really enjoyed this. I always read alot to my kids, so I understand the special relationship between the favorite books and the kids and parent. And I love that you included them, still kept the artistry serious, and produced a good product.

When I was young, I remember dreaming about what I called "jungle drums"; I'm not sure why. I dreamed your song...long ago in the depths of some astral flight apparently. Thanks for recording it.

Jarvis, yes it does have a "Wipeout" sound to it - I was trying to get that sort of vintage surf music feel into a drum pattern. Now if I can only find a guitarist to do that quick decending "doodle-loodoo-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle" surf guitar lick at the very beginning... what in the world do you call that cool sound anyway?

Inside my heart is too.

For Improv Friday
I improvised this guitar track and recorded audio and midi (Fender Mustang + GR-20) feel free to add to this
After some editing I came up with "And No One Listens"
I used Guitar Rig 4, Kontakt (bass), hyperwave synth, True…
I was just really bored, so I decided to record this truly epic song.
Actually, funny story about how I recorded this. You know those long, black, skinny, microphones you can buy at Wal-Mart, in the computer section? Yeah, I used that, and Cubase…
Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…

Thanks for showing us the beauty of a creature that most of us consider to be a ruthless devourer. Your tender soliloquy perhaps does the beast more than justice... I can only hope for the same.
A slightly destructive children's song... But I suspect that many of you have tried some of the things mentioned.
I have a great idea up in my head
Let's try it out this afternoon
We'll tie the dog up to the sled
Pretend we're launching…
Haha! Pwnd by the phone company once again. I feel your pain. The chain saw solution caught me by surprise, but sounded effective.
It would probably be a very bad idea for you to ever collaborate with ReefWalker about this topic... he has a history of many phone problems as well.

Somebody should create an album of songs dealing with phone problems on AT - a recurring theme!
This is an orchestral piece composed in 13 note subset of 31 notes per octave called “Orwellâ€. The purpose of this piece was to study polyphonic voice leading in a microtonal context. It was realized via Sonar 8.5 and Garritan Personal Orchestra…
I read about the Duodene in Doty's book and wanted to try it. I took the opportunity of Margo's scala formatted duodene on the nonoctave forum to toss it into fractal tune smithy and improvise with the tuning.
I hope you don't find this too…
There are times, moments, sounds, shadow falls that take us to and bring us back to magical times in our lives,,,Something in this piece by Johnny Mercer & Henry Mancini,, can pull me in so many different ways,,, it's always been a favorite…

Oh, my holy noodles. *Another* bloody 12-bar in E, and what's worse, it's a *slow* blues. Every guitar player who deems it appropriate to play a slow blues in E, in this the 21st, should be roasted like a head of garlic, smeared across a toasted…

What a great gift to share with your kids. The drums are done superbly...as is all of it. They will have and cherish this forever....
Talk about original! This was fun to listen to. Thanks for sharing.
your tech. is great. I like the title too! lol. Although I wouldn't wanna surf naked in parts of florida now....that oil spill.
being so high up in those awesome blueridge mountains must be good for the musical soul. :) Thanks for sharing.
great playing! What kind of mics did you use to get such a crisp sound? And..by the way, wouldn't it suk if aliens came and used our skin for drums? lol
I'm a percussionist first and foremost so I love this. Awesome jungle jam. Those congas sound nice and full.
You're funny. I just hope now that his child has had a taste of the caribbean flavor, that he doesn't go to pot.

very nice!
My Dad played the drums, ha, I thought he did! This is tribal indeed, there's a little tinkle in there too, nice touch.
Thanks Norm for listening! looking forward to hearing Jarvis lay a guitar down on Surf Naked!

This has a Bluesy feel to it that is screaming out for a guitar to play over.
Nice sort of Spanish sound to this ,makes you want to weave and flick your hips.....owwww me backs gone !!!
This has deffo got a 'Wipeout' Sound to it which will be interesting to somehow avoid in a gtr track.Imay have a stab at it. Nice drumming.
tight, and sprinkled with some interesting perc's brotha !
You got my groove goin' :) Very cool! w;-)

Truely beautiful. Nice job!
Nice work here.
This is most excellent! Rocks indeed!
My hands are definately up!
Another uber collab! Thanks for posting this here... it's great to hear it again.

No saint, her.
Menacing.
Very clever. So what did you find under the flooring?
Sleep? We can all sleep in our graves, but for now I hope you keep jamming! Lots of potential with this one!

Excellent music, concept and production. Well done!
I don't understand it but I like it. Thanks once again for pushing the envelope for me.
*Great* percussion. Sort of a "Beyond Thunderdome" feel.
Yes, this is wonderful. Thanks my huckleberry friend.
There's no love like rock-n-roll love. Nice work!
Beautiful.
Yes, I had never heard of that either. Well done!
Mindbending.
Delicious! But then I love garlic... Well done!
