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…
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…

Tight Groove! Hate it when your instruments decide to steal your beer...but hey...it's a small price to pay for having them play along for free on a track, right? btw...can't believe you used to listen to KY102 back in the day! Where you from originally?

@Geas:
Uh, that would have freaked me out too. And how about when you have your headphones up loud, really focusing on the project, and you look up and somebody has (quietly, so as not to disturb you) walked into the studio to ask you a question or something? I've had to edit out a explicit derogatory once in awhile - but the adrenaline rush is awesome!

In 2006 we visited a Japanese garden. In September of 2009 I wrote this piano piece in 17 ET and I hear a connection between the two. So I put together a video from pictures and video taken of our visit and married the two. Please visit the song…

I was working on one of my ethno 2 demos and needed a break so I made an improvisation on a series of major 7ths using only the Ethno 2 package.
All of the pitched instruments use the included Werckmeister temperament tuning.
Ooooh, you guys got it going. I would so LOVE to hook up with musicians along this slant. Talk to me about how the percussion is recorded (ie micing, etc.). Just awesome. AWB/Feat.
This drips with butter! Your keys player should be canonized. And I want to spend the week-end with your drummer, bassist and a case of gin. Great vocals too!
This song always puts you in a weird mood...forcibly sways your emotional state. There’s some kind of weird juju laced in that song that screws with your emotions no matter how you're feeling.
This song uses a lot of layers for bass along with…
This was written while living in the studio. For some reason this song seems like music appropriate for a chase scene. This is all bass and drums...no guitars yet. Vic's working on it.

Another older song. It's intentionally short. It makes it's point and moves on. No need to drag it out.
There used to be more. The song started as a minute-thirty idea, but we had the intention of building it later. We put some cool parts…

Thanks to Sister Savage for helping us debut our new project. As busy as she is, Sister managed a bit of time and some great Jovian vox for us.
This piece or art is unique, sublime, and psychedelic.

Comments on Norm's stuff
Yep yep, I do believe I am digging this. Love the use of the harp. :) FAV'D and DL'd
Just going to comment on the tight pattern with the eclectic shekere time placement, but then I heard you playing the harp. nice tune man! Downloading
You are the King of percussion Norm, brilliant.
Love the hat at 0:58...really nice man!
I wish AT had a repeat button. I'm downloading this - great piece Norm!
...drummer, in the rhythm of his own, decidedly takes height... Easy for me to say. I wasn’t there :-)
This is really cool Norm. I enjoyed that mate very cool. Thanks for your recent comments mate
great tune Norm! hey, take a look to "el vuelo del cóndor" on my playlist, you've done a great job, thank you very much again.
Freaky and Fantastic! Great Stuff. Spooky given the story but blooming Great!
nice. vibration sounds really cool.
Fantastic tune!
Tight Groove! Hate it when your instruments decide to steal your beer...but hey...it's a small price to pay for having them play along for free on a track, right? btw...can't believe you used to listen to KY102 back in the day! Where you from originally?
Man that sounds deadly.
Thanks Norm I was not that sure of the glock but you are the King of percussion so thanks for that.
@Norm - happens regularly. One of these days I'm going to accidentally knock her out :D
The more I listen to this the more I like tops

My synth counted down 4-3-2-1 for me once. During a late RPM night. Scared the Sh*t right out of me.
Very freaking cool man!
Excellent track, Norm... I may need to mess with this as well!
Comments made by Norm
Beautiful. I didn't need the video to see the coys lazily gliding around the pond.
Are you still there?? Nice work, Reefwalker!! The thing I love the very most about it is** Oh - gotta go - phone's ringing...
Cool!
The harmonies on this one are simply breath taking! Great song and well done!
Ummmmmm now this is good, good, good.
Ooooh, you guys got it going. I would so LOVE to hook up with musicians along this slant. Talk to me about how the percussion is recorded (ie micing, etc.). Just awesome. AWB/Feat.
I'm still shaking my head...
OK, I'm just going to be quiet from now on, but this is really, really great stuff that you guys are generating.
This drips with butter! Your keys player should be canonized. And I want to spend the week-end with your drummer, bassist and a case of gin. Great vocals too!
I have no idea why noboody is listening to this great stuff!! That shit ain't right. Many thanks!! Just great!
Of your loop intended samples, I like this one best.
It's space alright. I've heard it plenty of times at the Dead concerts. Well done!
Guitars would just ruin this. MORE DRUM AND BASS DUETS!!
Oooh, sweet drumming on this one! Funkytissimo!
Rockin! Great stuff.
One of the freshest new poems I've read in a very long time. Outstanding work!
Dig it! *-Jumps into mosh pit with a big grin on his face-
Now we're talking! This kicks! *Buys a round for the band**
Swampy! Very nice.
Excellent work guys! Thanks!
