I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
Merengues are fast arrangements with a 2/4 beat, originating from the Dominican Republic. The traditional instrumentation includes a "güira" (guiro), which is a percussion instrument that sounds like a scrapper. The Merengue güira is a cylinder…
The chorus of this groove is in 5/4 and the verse in 9/4. You can hear me fall apart at the very end… guess I got worried.

As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…

A cool wind brings the fall
And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
Inside my heart is too.
And I don't know how to…
Whats going on Norm. I am missing out on some really great stuff lately.......damn work.......I need to spend some time with your grooves to sooth my soul..........................AHHHHHHHHH
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.

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…
Comments on Norm's stuff
Taking me places. I'm with Bee on the percussion - it's wonderful :)
He was probably building a home studio. This is exactly what it sounded like when I built mine. Minus all that 5/4 stuff.
Really makes my imagination run wild. Nice going guys!
Great collab guys. Vox right on. The instrumental at the end especially makes the mind wonder, what the hell IS he building in there.
Wonderful, really interesting! Great performance Reg and delightful percussion! Bee
Fantastic guys......oh yeah

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.

Yes, this is wonderful. Thanks my huckleberry friend.
There's no love like rock-n-roll love. Nice work!
Beautiful.

Mindbending.
