Hey Norm,
Thanks for the okay on playing along. I'll try to find the time to work on it this week. Thankfully, summer vacation is on the way and I can really spend more time recording...
And thanks for coming by and listening to some of my stuff. If you really want to get the flavor of this February's complete CD, check out the playlist "Late December" if you'd like to hear this year's RPM album in order rather than back to front.

Well I believe you had a visit from the ghost of funky percussion. This is really really cool man. I love the little rolls in there, and it has a killer driving beat.

"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
Love this track, Norm! Would you mind if I messed around with a little acoustic rhythm guitar alongside your outstanding drums? I've got the capo up on the second fret and this beat has me playing in a way I never have before!
Ilesa is a city located in the south west of Nigeria. This is a traditional rhythm pattern of the same name - but I'm not sure of the significance of the name.
I played on 3 congas, accented with bell clave, block and cowbell, of course…

I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.

Basically my feeble attempt at a fist pumping 'dance' song... but of course I had to weird it up a bit. :) The main vocalist who basically says variations of 'I like to dance' are my computers voice. Thanks for listening!
This is an experiment where I slowed down Norm Harris’ percussion track “7th Son†http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son and slowed it down by a factor of five and ran it through effects and such – and then played along with my 17…
about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…
Another oldie as I work on other stuff. State of the art PC sound in 1991 was the Adlib card with one OPL2 FM synthesis chip w/o audio capability. Limiting as that was I still had a lot of fun with it. This is one example - I love that lo-fi…
Doom! Count me in!
(Ha! Had to laugh as the 7 sec. mark of this one has that "squeak" sound that I have previously misinterpreted in other songs as being a squeaky bass drum foot pedal... what do I know about computer generated music?)
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Nero's Butterfly Two Star Poem Remix
This is a collaboration with anonymous and my wife. I wrote the script / lyrics and anonymous did everything else. So I can say - I've always admired the excellent performance of both - Debbie did the voice…
This dark reggae tune has been hanging around in my "works in progress" folder for a while, but I was finally inspired to complete it when I borrowed a guitar from my friend Joe. Thanks, Joe!

3rd one for RPM2011. This is an 'oh you'll never get to heaven' type affair inspired by a beer my mate introduced me too. The song is basically about drinking yourself to death and having one up on the healthy brigade having made a rather spectacular…

I could use a studio boy like this! Totally cool - hypnotic.
Norm ..Excellent as always....I couldn't find Elvis anywhere down the cellar over the weekend???.......Maybe!!!!....
Norm darlin, you need a nice lay down!
well it wasnt me, the beer would have been finished, and fridge would have been emptied.
Top beat Norm
very nice, i like the soft touch, it's very rich and textured, something about this beat is especially captivating
nice work - it must have been your doppelganger joining in !
Well I believe you had a visit from the ghost of funky percussion. This is really really cool man. I love the little rolls in there, and it has a killer driving beat.
Storming and raunchy.

Nice head-bobbin' drum-talk. Well produced!
Yeah! Moves or what?!!!
Love the Rhythm Norm! fireworks on the beach.
Oh golly, I hear some synths and strings. I'm gonna download it. Ya never know :)
sweet groove man.
Nodding my head to the count of the bell clave....yep yep this is sweet.
Norm you Rock buddy!
Moves right along. Nice!
Sweet beats. Like the tones here - very inspiring. ;)
Comments made by Norm
*Grant us peace.* Thanks, for you have.
I love the harmonica here... nice job!
Great fun! (*pumping fist in the air*)
Of course it's about a car! Great work here.
Excellent work! Great collaboration.
I'm surprised the rhythm pattern holds up as well as it does being slowed down 5X - I like the reverb that you have added. Wild stuff!
For the prices Club Med charges, I had expected a somewhat happier sounding place!
Strong work! This doesn't really need any words - speaks alot without them.
I had planned on having my ashes shot out of a cannon, but I think this is a much better idea!
How can such a little thought be so thought provoking?
Just awesome, Richard.
Doom! Count me in! (Ha! Had to laugh as the 7 sec. mark of this one has that "squeak" sound that I have previously misinterpreted in other songs as being a squeaky bass drum foot pedal... what do I know about computer generated music?)
What else can be said about this one, except how did I miss it?? (Apparently I'm the only one who did!) Wonderful Kirk.
Totally pro.
I hear a vibratone! And I thought I was the only guy who had one. ;) *Great* song.
Ah, the good 'ol days of TraxInSpace... this was a classic there!
Whoa! Awesome bass!
@Chris: Man you are fast! I didn't realize the song would post before the description...
Ah, this DOES move very nicely. You are letting your Little Feat influence shine!
Excellent! Reminds me a bit of "Uneasy Rider" by Charlie Daniels, which is a song I have always wanted to cover.
