Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice groove. Shufflin beat...slow waves to wash over you...and a gradual build in composition. It's all about the journey. Diggin' it as usual.
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…
This song was inspired from all the snowstorms we have been having this winter, another on the way tonight.....I decided to prog it out for this one....prog-rock.....lets bring it back.
Nothing like getting behind the skins when you are sentimental. Happens to me all the time. The skins don't mind tears.
Nice skin work here (the pattern is "Tumbao").
I just heard the Ramen #3 version of this and it totally blew me away!
Furthermore, I sickenly realized that I have posted a piece by the same name, a long time after you posted this one. I apologize for this and have changed the name of my posting (but a similar story to yours... first recording in a new house!!)
Strong work team. I'm a big fan!
Outland (The Ballad of Jarrod X)
words and music by VIVIAN CIRCLE
Mother, why did you lie to me?
I didn't have to make the same mistakes as you.
Father, why did you run away?
There was so many things left unspoken with you.
Jarrod walks…
Chris sent me this great tune playing his 17 ET guitar and fretless bass, and for some reason i thought Mafia instantly. Sammy the Bull was the under-boss to John Gotti back in the 80's and 90's and he turned informer to bring John Gotti down…
On Growing Old

My dog and I are old, too old for roving.
Man, whose young passion sets the…
This is me live....
No frills....
I Play a classical because my fingers are too big... Lol!!
Sorry if it is a bit rough...

It's always tough for the manager when a "walk-in" steals the show and the crowd clearly prefers him to the scheduled act! Well done! Very soulful bro!
Van Gogh, On the Threshold of Eternity
Gary from music by computer suggested a re-master with less drum volume - your choice http://micro.soonlabel.com/17-ET/daily20110125b-17-reasons-I-hate-the-blues.mp3
I've had severe computer trouble…
Reg has been up to his womanizing ways and has ended up dancing on his own. reg came up with another great funky tune and Reg had to jump all over again. Hope you Funk IT.........
**instantly stikes the bait, swallows deeply for the gut hook - can't help myself**
Bethan: It is asking too much to expect either Reg to behave himself. Funkmasters, by definition, can't behave.
Now this is just perfect. Funk is what you were born to do. Please provide much more like this.
Comments on Norm's stuff
All Hallows was groovin' alright! Love the clicky bits (I know all the technical phrases, me). I defy anyone not to tap their feet to this one! Tess S
Oh Yeah! This is the stuff alright. I still got to get down to jamming on some of your grooves one of these days
Norm is brilliant, as always.
Diggin the new track Norm. Crisp tune to wake up to! Will have to listen to again when I get home.
@D: The vision of you dancing with your 4 month old to this delights me!
Can't wait to get settled into my new place and have my next studio set up so I can add to this one. (if you don't mind, that is.)
Just spent the morning dancing with my daughter to this groove. She's only four months old...but was totally movin' her feet and giggling to this.
Sweet sounding drum.
Improvin it up!!! BOO YEAH! :)
really cool, your recordings are very clear very tactile to the ear
im with it
this what i really like true music from the drum no singeres and gutars to mess it all up
La danza, es la clave de la felicidad. Well played Norm, gorgeous rhythm!!
oui.....brillanti......comme d'habitude....
@ Vaisvil: *La clave es la llave, la llave es la clave*.
I hear a lot of melodies in this one. All of the drums seem to speak to me. Even the clave. Perhaps I'm finally getting it?
This is were its at!! Groovy!!
I is a nice and romantic music. A lot of emprovement.
Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice groove. Shufflin beat...slow waves to wash over you...and a gradual build in composition. It's all about the journey. Diggin' it as usual.
Thats a fine assemblage of talents and great sounds here, good job all.

You must have been hammered with snow! Nice work Dave!

Totally pro, Chris. Great, great work.

Lovely.
This is a masterpiece!
Lovely!
Tragic!
Fabulous story.
Your vocals are too hot for covers.
Oh so funky.
To quote Dorthy Parker: "That poor SOB". Strong work Chris!
I had to read a bit about "modal", which I still don't understand. But I know this much: this rocks hard. Many thanks! Here's hoping for a blizzard!

I hate the fact that your percussionist is quite clever.
Love the Rhodes! Cool boat sounds too. What a horrible time in history.
Boom chickie dig-gity boom ba! Excellent collaboration!
Love the percussion pattern here.
