@Bee: I believe that you are referring to the first 3 off-beats of the measure, which are played on a wood-block heavily distorted with "gated reverb"... but I've never heard a chicken that sounds like that! :)

Wonderful Norm just wonderful.....I feel blessed....I've got my headphones on and Sebastian asleep in his crib beside me.......and have too keep taking them of because I'm sure he's crying in time ....very effective
A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.
LYRICS:
I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne…

Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…

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…

Doug: You have such a great trademark sound. I've never heard anything quite like it... it's always a snap to recognize your pieces as I listen to random AT radio. Many thanks for you beautiful postings!
Wellll it's not really a mystery, it's a little Beatles remixing!! I've basically just mashed together Octopus's Garden and All My Lovin'.
Hope you like it!
toooons of fun makin it :)
Had to do this one on the fly before an open mic night....
Sorry about the quality...
Came up with the song this morning ......
One take... GTR+MIC on one tracks (doubled up), Played live....
Not much time to record music or…
Lyrics
The Good Lifeless has Become Boundless

went where and windly
with pentacles of pie
like know our way

when we find what it
is that can been and be we of their
2 tracks of hobnox…
@Mac McIntyre: Ha! I just did the same thing (well, without breaking a string) - I've been digging this playlist from behind my congas. Great stuff here.
This is a piece Norm and I collaborated on last year. We hope you will enjoy it.
two improvised 12 string guitar lines
bass line ( I took a few takes)
improvised piano
Norm's percussion in Tumbao rhythm
did a remix of latest B-52s (ex B-52's) song "Funplex". i admit i didn't really take the time to polish this, so it might have some flaws here and there, but it was fun to do and after all, is this not what matters most? :)
and you can…
This is a little piece dedicated to the lost world island of Socotra that grabs a lot of instrumentation from across Asia with little discrimination - the melodic instruments use Afshari with the exception of the Jaw harps which use 9-tET Sorog.
What ever you were whompin’ up must have looked/smelled great! But then again, hunger is the best sauce. And the main riff at the end just leaves all of us hungry for more. Is it ready yet?
This is a piece that uses MOTU Ethno 2. All but percussion and voice were performed my Fender Mustang and midi recorded via Roland GR-20. The piece uses the Almak tuning included in Ethno 2. [Amlak recurrent sequence (x^2 = x + 1/3), as a matrix…
Cool tuning. I've never heard anything like it. Nice work Debbie! The percussion is just perfect for this. The left channel "swampy" guitar towards the end rules!
Alright!! This is some kickin' tune right here. I wanted to mess with this one when Jarvis first uploaded it. Then Brian Bazeley added this great bass line to it. At that point, I had no choice but to add some more veggies to this stew…
a simple seventies type performance core piece vocal, guitars, bass, and lots of lovely drums!
and a few effects just for the thrill

Love that rhythm Norm! What's the 3 repeated, quiet scraping sounds made by? Sounds a bit like a chicken! Interesting!
Wonderful Norm just wonderful.....I feel blessed....I've got my headphones on and Sebastian asleep in his crib beside me.......and have too keep taking them of because I'm sure he's crying in time ....very effective
If I could play drums like this my rhythm tracks would be much better. Enjoy just sitting back and listening to the many tones and varied rhythms.
thanks Norm - I bet Francis would have loved the persistent introspection of this groove! "..illumina le tenebre de lo core mio...
Excellent organic percussion! Solid gold.
Very, very interesting and addictive pattern here Norm.
Thanks Norm!!
thanks for the listen and rating!
I hear that
Very cool! I can explain the beer being gone!!
Oooo, 2.30 ish the little bit of quiver comes in. Nice! And, gets louder. Like it!
"4" does it for me. I like the, "I mean business" beats.
Ive done a collab with Mark , but never Tharek , this is a dream team , your percussion fits like a glove with this amazing song , i love it
I don't understand the Math behind it but I know it sounds Amazing! It is impressive the story you are able to tell with beats bro.
Very cool groovin' man
This is great mate really cool.
Dandy beat...I sort of got lost in it.
I like this just as a rhythm, mellow
Lovely swaying rhythm, O King of Ze Beats!

Well done!
Well done! I like the staccato percussion work.
Very nice!
Smoooth and loungey! Excellent percussion work (using just the first half of Son clave @ half time = nice effect)
Well done. Great voice! The story itself is well told - almost tough to listen to. I hope the house warms back up!
Excellent!
@Mac McIntyre: Ha! I just did the same thing (well, without breaking a string) - I've been digging this playlist from behind my congas. Great stuff here.
Still fresh!
The B52's have had some classics, but I believe I like your remix better than their release.
Excellent! The percussion is just perfect.
The bees knees!

Hell yes!
Totally pro, rockin' work! Many thanks!
Yep. Just beautiful. Nice work!
A classic. Post the lyrics! Perhaps you can convince Din to post a few things on AT... his percussion & mix mastering really are world class.
I still think that the heart beating through your guitar is a most excellent effect!
