Very sweet :) I wonder if you were thinking...."if all these damn guitarists are just going to make crossover patterns from my beats, i'll just make a crossover pattern mayself. ;) haha FAV'D

Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
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…
A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…

since johnny's death experience on alonetone he has realised he has special powers not only can he recreate any song that's ever been made but he can now transcend consciousness and appear anywhere in the world that he wants too and tonight he…
Reggikins??? Good grief. A desperate fool. Predictible. Don't forget your credit card Reg - this one is going to cost you more ways than one.
(Fantastic vocals)
Reg will just not listen not only have Chris and Norm told him but Elvis Jim and Louie all had the same advice..Forget her....move on but he is going against all the advice. He just can't get Desirea out of his mind, he loves her. He's trying…
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
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!

Oh boy. You keep insisting on crashing that same car over and over again.
Can't you see that she collects broken hearts like butterflies - and pins each one into a cigar box she keeps under her big brass bed? The only time she feigns interest in you Reg is when you somehow manage to fly off again - pin and all!
Peter bought the old grey wolf down the cellar and Humphrey had to go and chat to him and tell him about his day. This is the story he told him...................
YOUR NEVER TOO OLD TO BE A FOOL
It’s 7.55 and the doors just opened. She’s giving…
Chris sent me the the track this afternoon and i took to it straight away and threw it down the cellar to see what would happen and Frankie Zee quickly scribbled the lyrics and Reg sang it or should i say spoke it straight in one take because…
Outstanding Zappa feel on the percussion. Vaisvil, you should be careful about whom you allow your children to play with.
Reg: your love for Desiree does not come from above. I'm not even sure that she herself is of this world. Why does she always keep showing up at your most vulnerable moments, only to disappear almost immediately??
I've been asked to give a short talk on the book of Nahum from the Old Testament. This is my first response.
Around here the lower class young people are in to old style rave with MCs, so I felt led to make a track in that style to go with the…
Geas sent me this tune for National talk like a pirate a day so we took it down the cellar and luckily Robert Newton was down there so we got him up on the stage and got him to do this little number......Hoping Yee enjoy eye arrh…
There are 3 styles of the Rumba Guáguánco pattern: this one originates from the Cuban province of Matanzas (to the east of Havana).
“Rumba” is a Spanish term for a gathering of musicians, singers & dancers (what West Africans refer to…
@Bee: Yes, these traditional patterns frequently have a melody of their own, and while it can be varied to some degree, an audience familiar with the pattern (and the dancers) expect to hear that melody.
Otherwise the percussionist had better be playing behind some protective chicken-wire!
Comments on Norm's stuff
very nice,, if i could not play the piano (when i grow up) i would like to be a percussionist,, you make it sound soooo good
You make this sound easy. You ole pro you.
@Jarvis: Stick to your ears - musically speaking, nothing else matters. Thanks!
I read what you wrote....I listened to what you played......I liked what you played and got perplexed at what you wrote...so I'll stick with my ears....80)
I found myself rocking back and forth a little while listening. This is very addictive!
Love It!!!
I like the percussion instrument choices and the way additional instruments are progressively added in waves, clean track
:)
@MTC: Ha! Cross-overs are fun no matter who makes them. But it's cool you get the concept. Thanks.
way to get those rolls in there as well. killer.
Very sweet :) I wonder if you were thinking...."if all these damn guitarists are just going to make crossover patterns from my beats, i'll just make a crossover pattern mayself. ;) haha FAV'D
Another great piece Norm....just love your sense of rhythm
So what happened to Johnny? This is the only thing that remains. Did I miss something?
Still beautiful........
Damn- How did I miss this? Brilliant!
I'm trying to find the words to say why I liked this. The best I can come up with: "it's real".
4/4 bpm...awesome!
Sweet groove
You got the beat man.
the individual samples for propane are stretched (and filtered) but not the composition.

Great production! That cellar is an awesome place!!

@Vaisvil: You-know-who is more likely to break up a marriage than a band...
Still hating this one. Daily.
Still hating this one too.
This is still perfect. One of my favs. I kind of feel sorry for that coin... and other times envious of it.
Outstanding!

Yeah, that will just happen to you once. Beth is right. Good one!
Uh, Reg, we have heard this before from you. I hope for your sake that you have finally learned your lesson.
Reg has some of the best advise regarding "hate" that I have heard for awhile. Don't be a hater!

Clever.
Well done Clara!
Beautiful.
Yes, wonderful harmonies.
Excellent percussion & bass here!
Another great one.
KEEL-HAUL HIM!
