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…

Just another obscure saint. Not much known about him. Probably much more important and significant than any of us will ever realize.
Oh, yeah, and then there is Saint Simon. Same thing for him.
RIP Alex.

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...

Lyrics by Brian McCloskey in somewhat of a suprise collab. Musically a kind of feel-good soul-pop. I quite like how this turned out, and nominated it my prefered RPM-track this year.
New version uploaded 12 Dec 2010.
Blue Bird Sax what can I say. A fantastic off the cuff blues jam recorded Mother's Day weekend 2011. Please let us know your thoughts.

Reg was talking to Elvis last night and Elvis came out with something so simple and profound "you can't hide from the man inside" and this got Reg thinking....................
Another one from the collaboration of Chris Vaisvil, Norm and thetworegs from the album Women and Whisky together ain't no good. We hope you enjoy......................
Reg created the lyrics, vocal melody, and sang
Norm composed and played…
Yes, it is obvious the choir is composed of mildly skilled amateurs, but I like this song very much.

This is a video piece made for the ImprovFriday drone theme event which used my DIY 9 string canon, DIY electrified 8 string psaltery, viola bow, ebow, and fingers. The tuning in unknown – just something I did by ear.
Pictures, streamable video…
There's a lot going on here, in the middle section I used what's known as a Shepard Risset Tone. This is a sound that appears to constantly rise in pitch. If you were to loop the sound, it would never stop rising! I don't understand the match…
Comments on Norm's stuff
Brilliant!
I like your sixth sense and the way that you communicate. Very creative!
Norm....your music has just lifted my spirit!
You are the King of Percussion
oh sad sad about Alex.
What an excellent atmosphere he created with his music....I'm sorry for your loss
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!
