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.

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.

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…

This song was inspired from all the snowstorms we have been having this winter, another on the way tonight.....I decided to prog it out for this one....prog-rock.....lets bring it back.
Nothing like getting behind the skins when you are sentimental. Happens to me all the time. The skins don't mind tears.
Nice skin work here (the pattern is "Tumbao").
I just heard the Ramen #3 version of this and it totally blew me away!
Furthermore, I sickenly realized that I have posted a piece by the same name, a long time after you posted this one. I apologize for this and have changed the name of my posting (but a similar story to yours... first recording in a new house!!)
Strong work team. I'm a big fan!
Outland (The Ballad of Jarrod X)

Mother, why did you lie to me?
I didn't have to make the same mistakes as you.
Father, why did you run away?
There was so many things left unspoken with you.
Jarrod walks…
Chris sent me this great tune playing his 17 ET guitar and fretless bass, and for some reason i thought Mafia instantly. Sammy the Bull was the under-boss to John Gotti back in the 80's and 90's and he turned informer to bring John Gotti down…

It's always tough for the manager when a "walk-in" steals the show and the crowd clearly prefers him to the scheduled act! Well done! Very soulful bro!
Van Gogh, On the Threshold of Eternity
Gary from music by computer suggested a re-master with less drum volume - your choice http://micro.soonlabel.com/17-ET/daily20110125b-17-reasons-I-hate-the-blues.mp3

Reg has been up to his womanizing ways and has ended up dancing on his own. reg came up with another great funky tune and Reg had to jump all over again. Hope you Funk IT.........
**instantly stikes the bait, swallows deeply for the gut hook - can't help myself**
Bethan: It is asking too much to expect either Reg to behave himself. Funkmasters, by definition, can't behave.
Now this is just perfect. Funk is what you were born to do. Please provide much more like this.
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..

That is some sweet music going on there fellas. Damn good.
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!
fantastic great collab
Nice groove there. Shades of Santana without the guitar of course.
@Chris: Man you are fast! I didn't realize the song would post before the description...

You must have been hammered with snow! Nice work Dave!

Totally pro, Chris. Great, great work.

Lovely.
This is a masterpiece!
Lovely!
Tragic!
Fabulous story.
Your vocals are too hot for covers.
Oh so funky.
To quote Dorthy Parker: "That poor SOB". Strong work Chris!
I had to read a bit about "modal", which I still don't understand. But I know this much: this rocks hard. Many thanks! Here's hoping for a blizzard!

I hate the fact that your percussionist is quite clever.
Love the Rhodes! Cool boat sounds too. What a horrible time in history.
Boom chickie dig-gity boom ba! Excellent collaboration!
Love the percussion pattern here.
