finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.

Wow! That's freaking awesome! I love instruments like this and the fact that you made your own is killer! Lovely 3 track recording. Nice groove. I would love to hear you expand on this and combine it with some synths or something, but hell either way really really cool!

Excellent norm you really can get a beat out of anything ......we used to play bows and arrows with our Berinbau we just had a bit of string instead of wire and the wood was. Bit of elder kept us occupied for hours in the spiny wood and the only sound we made from it was the loud Fadunk when we let the reed arrows fly at one ofd the cowboys.....

Well, the guitar was a good strategy... guitarists always gets the girl! But don’t show up with your bongos:
Q: What do you call a good-looking girl on the arm of a percussionist?
A: A tattoo.
to cheer himself up Reg thought he'd go down the Casino and see if he could find those riches at the roulette table...so he borrowed some money of Big Ed and suited himself up and away he went....but it didn't quite go to plan and now he has to…
OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?

This is amazing, Norm! Love the ending. I think you should go into the berimbau making business!

I love your long productions... this one is a bit un-nerving.
Perfect listen for what I am doing today. Quite an impressive effort producing a piece of this magnitude. Thanks!
Awesome!
Nice demonstration of the glissando technique on the conga drum.
If I close my eyes I am almost at the SoHo Lounge...
Excellent!
Great to hear some more stuff from you!
Lovely clave pattern on the snare(?). Great song.
You guys are excellent.
Sounds just like Tamer Hosny.
Well, the guitar was a good strategy... guitarists always gets the girl! But don’t show up with your bongos: Q: What do you call a good-looking girl on the arm of a percussionist? A: A tattoo.
You are a high-roller, Reg. Great stuff!
Lots of great imagery and space created with this!
Beautiful!
Dreamy!
A happy ending Reg?
Dreamy chorus.
Strong work, team! Love the keys.
9/10 "in tune".
Merry Christmas Reg.
