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.

*Try not to get worried*

*And don’t forget*

Bloody hell...I struggle with 4/4 nevermind pushing the envelope to double that and add one ....sheesh !!

I like this tempo very much and the clapping too.
Sounds wonderful through headphones.
Marvellous how you can do all that and sweep up the dead leaves at the same time! ;)
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…

There are 3 styles of the Rumba Guáguánco pattern: this one originates from the Cuban province of Matanzas (to the east of Havana).

This is excellent from both of you!
Norm sounds like an entire rhythm section, and I love the interplay between the various guitar parts.
More triangle!!
This isn't a track per se. I made a video of progress with an instrument and this is the soundtrack. It's something of a mishmash of strange noises. That will come as little to surprise regular listeners.
The instrument is an evolution of my…
Very tight! More jaw harp! Love the guitar riff and bass.
Sorry about your fall, but at least your only chair broke the impact a bit. Can't wait to see the video.
I wrote this with two of my friends Diego (aka Mr. Napkinhead on alonetone) and Annie. an ode to pasta since my family is all about pasta. we had fun with the lyrics. wrote it in about 15 minutes, recorded it in an hour, and sang it that night…
I write a Vikings parody song for every game of the Minnesota Vikings season for my blog, which is found at http://www.thevikingship.net

This is a track from my retrospective album Heptadecaphilia.
Details, online play, PDF that has background on the music, images, and links to videos are to be found here:

Well, I'm not Greek, but I think "Heptadecaphilia" means "to love 17".
Quite an impressive collection of "17 equal tones per octave" songs (20!).
If one wants to immerse themselves in an environment of tonality that is in stark contrast to the conventional "12 tones per octave" standard that has dominated human ears since the 17th century, this a great collection to explore.
It takes a bit of courage to give microtonal music a shot - at times it sounds blasphemous and dizzyingly disorientating to me. Stretching the definition of the established custom probably always feels like that.
The surprise is how quickly my ear adapts to it but it takes a bit of immersion for me to get to that point.
Strong work, Chris. I philia it.
I abuse Jeff Lynn's (ELO) wonderful song.
I sing it a minor 3rd lower then originally recorded by ELO since I wanted to use my 12-string guitar and it is a lot easier to play tuned down to reduce the tension a bit.

Hello, I thought I'd upload a track from 1993's Strange Beauty today. It was reviewed by the WMR (Weekly Module Reviews) team (in 1996 I'm guessing.) These reviews were published on "uesnet" about music posts to the same system - Usenet is an…
This is a Gibson Epiphone Roadie 1/2 scale guitar I picked up used at Guitar Center for $30. It was on the block because no one set it up. The intonation was horrific. And to top it off the bridge is ever so slightly too close to the nut. But…
Rick! I am thrilled to hear something from you again! I've missed the shimmering guitar work from the island. I figured that no news is good news - the surf must be good. That or you are hanging out with Jack Johnson...
Love it.
The island of Cuba was a Spanish possession for almost 400 years (1511-1898). The land-owning elite held social and economic power, supported by slaves, both indigenous and of South American and African descent, until slavery was abolished…
Ha! Well, you have a point. In Reg's world, there is a woman named "Ilesa". But I have not been in the pantry with her. Most of the women in Reg's world scare me to death!

but I have to admit that my hot-chili tomato oatmeal-with-pickles pasta I made after this was pretty good. (The bottle of cabernet probably helped too).

This is finger picked (quasi – classical guitar) improvisation with my wife’s Seagull acoustic guitar with Dean Markley soundhole pick up and AKG microphone with mastering.

Killer! I think you held in there just fine! One more time....
@Slkrell: Many thanks! Of course. All of my stuff is up for grabs and I would love to hear what you do with it!

Damn nice groove!
Everythings all right yes everythings fine (no apologies to mr lloyd webber)
Hypnotic groove!
.....excellent...listening to this while walking you can't help skipping...well a kind of skip shuffle anyway....i call it the no worries shuffle
I like this tempo very much and the clapping too. Sounds wonderful through headphones. Marvellous how you can do all that and sweep up the dead leaves at the same time! ;)
Just Cyndi checking out the groves!
Wonder whatever happened to Alister.....
and just found Jarvo's comment, hahaha.....

The video is essential to even approach comprehension of this. Wild stuff!

Excellent. The outro IS incredible.
Fight club is a perfect description of this! Excellent.
Delicious!
Very clever!
This is really fun!

Well done. I love the synth work.
Great fun!
Wild stuff.
Reg is right.
I've never seen a guitar like that. Cool!

Beautiful! (You must have slipped this one by me during one of your particularly productive times)

"Ilesa" is a percussion pattern, not a woman! Otherwise I would have not taken the risk of being caught with her in the pantry!!

2SS: Domestic? Yes. Barely. Goddess? Uh, no.
