WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!

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…

Oh, yeah, and then there is Saint Simon. Same thing for him.

Alex had a disastrous truck crash 3 weeks ago on his way back home to his loving 3 children and wife. This is a fleeting existence folks. Dance while you can.

I am heart broken to inform you that Kokou “Alex” Yemey was killed in a motor vehicle accident last Friday. The world will never again hear this genius, at least on this side of the veil. RIP my good friend...

I used about half of the tones produced in my stop sign video as samples looped in Kontakt and improvised on an 88 key controller in 17 equal notes per octave. Not something you'd listen to for enjoyment.

Great drumming. Bass drum kicking "Son clave" pattern the entire time while he works on the snare/cymbals... this is very difficult (for me) to do - probably why I don't play trap-set.
I wanted to see how much "music" I could get out of one chord and four notes. Sorry that it has a sort of cheesy 80s sound at times, but that's when I started playing guitar and it's hard to reprogram your brain. The chord is Bsus2 and the solo…
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
Daisy and I both know that as soon as you get far enough away from the perimeter, the pain inflicted by the shock collar ceases, and is only a bad memory. A small price to pay for the freedom to run over the hills all night with the other freed pups.
We don't care if you hollar.
I walk 13 miles of barbwire just to sing my song

I walk 65 miles all along

I love this tune, it's a little bitter but still love it :)

Alas, Richard is gone. But the remaining 3 briefly together in London at the O2 a few weeks ago: May 12. Lots of YouTube videos of it - I love the part where Waters hits the wall and it digitally disintegrates beneath Gilmour, playing the solo for "Comfortably Numb".

Comments on Norm's stuff
Brilliant!
I like your sixth sense and the way that you communicate. Very creative!

You are the King of Percussion

Always a pleasure Norm. ....................sad news and oh so true
Always great hearing the percs! Mic ups on the skins is crisp. Love it!
So sorry to hear of Alex's passing, God bless him and his family, Play on Alex, Aloha

RIP Alex. I am so happy I could share this with the world while you were with us. Hey world, when you evolve enough to appreciate this, enjoy!

Love this groove!!!

Comments made by Norm
Hair raising!
Nice playing Chris!
Diggin' out some of the older ones! Spring Cleaning? My how things have changed...
I remember that!
Beautiful Richard!
Lovely!
Very revealing!
If things start to look like that while one is driving, I would suggest pulling over and calling a cab!
Ha! I guessed it before seeing the video!
Are you actually bowing a stop sign??
Great drumming. Bass drum kicking "Son clave" pattern the entire time while he works on the snare/cymbals... this is very difficult (for me) to do - probably why I don't play trap-set.
Great club song.
Many times less is more. It's amazing how much you got out of so little. Sounds great.
Lovely!
Paulstretch?? Sounds like the sound was stretched. Cool!

I believe that Reefwalker is just demonstrating his mathmatical skills... but I'm sure that 52 miles of barbwire walking feels like 65. :)
