A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.

This is really nice work - laid back and exotic. Very nice balance between the music and the percussion - tastefully done. Since I'm listening before the description went up I'm very curious who you collaborated with - they did a nice job on the music.
At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…

Instantaneously Yours is an internet collaboration between excellent percussionist Norm Harris and myself. I added 12 string, fretless bass and fretless ebowed guitar to Norm's Groove for Saint Ambrose. Since this was done for fun as a serial…

Great voice Reg.

This is a one guitar (Fender Mustang) improvisation leveraging my GR-20 into bass guitar, strings, synth wash + strumming and percussion. At 2:58 my low A string breaks and then my left forearm and hand cramps up. But it was fun as it lasted.
This is a cover of a wonderful song by Yoko Kanno, Steve Conte, & Shanti Snyder.

I'm glad that it is day time here - this extraordinary sound seems to lend itself to the mysticism of the early hours. (Oh dear, I've become a blatant plagiarist.)
Lovely sounds. What a great memory of your dad.
Comments on Norm's stuff
Stunning.
I absolutely adore melodic drums...and while delicate...this is one HEAVY and head-bobbin' groove. Nice one...very nice one.
I think we all have our different way's to bring life deeply back in our soul's again.. Well done..

Wow! I loved this track before, but you just made it HOT.
Man that's awesome norm!!! Only just getting round to hearing it but love what you did here. Cant stop physically moving me 'ed to it (which is a shame in a way cos i have a hang over!). Its a great sound.. honoured!

Nice groove there. Shades of Santana without the guitar of course.

Way to work through the pain!
Simply beautiful.
Nice work!
Excellent.

How can I resist a bad monkey song? That devil has been in my trees too. Excellent! (Nice bump Reg)
Wow indeed!

Strong work!
Harmonious harmonies!
It is not. Well, classical, yes. Flubbed, no.
