YES! Man that bell sounds sweet! Love image of you working the bell as the train rolled on. The only bell I have is a tiny little tibetan bell...maybe I need to find a tiny microphone and work it! Ha ha

This spooky track utilizes the "Paulstretch" program to stretch recordings of gongs, chimes and bells to 8.04 times their native length: no other effects were made to these acoustic recordings other than to stretch them. The gongs utilized are…
Me and Dave Recorded this to test the levels in the Church when we did some songs in tribute of my Son Ethan the other day.
We Normally record a throw away track before recording something for real.
Improvised, so it gets you in the spirit…
I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"
http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son
Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
Well, the Unicorn in the glass dust may be the way to you, but Bee's voice is the way to me.
Don't tell Bee, but MY dreams are slightly different: in them I hear her telling me how naughty I am.
Not what I was expecting with a Bee vocal. Cool piece. And, while I can only hope to hear Bee singing when I pass, I hope it is something more along her typical angelic lines.
Rather, it includes Norm's excellent track Pilón For A New Son (http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son). Was trying to find out how less I can get away with in rhythms while still having enough flow. Feedback welcomed :)
Whoa! That's awesome Tipu!
A big part of the fun for me at AT is tying my patterns to helium balloons and releasing them onto the interweb - there is no telling where they will ever end up or what (if anything) ever becomes of them.
But sometimes somebody nabs one and sends it back so different, so evolved and so reconsidered that I hardly can recognize it. Heard from a completely different clave (or phase shift) with fresh new perspectives (not to mention wonderful mixing, mashing and effects) for vintage patterns. Heard for the first time again...
Yeah, I wax poetic. But man, I just love that.

Texas hold em poker, and going for it all. Open mic acoustic with some alt tuning. Percussion by Norm.
The kokiriko? Norms playing in there actually sounds like shuffling cards- particularly loving the glockenspiel addition he did…
Here's a cover of a zep classic...from Reg and Speed Demon Gene....Gene has done all the music and the mixing..thanks Gene ....and i'm responsible for the warbling..... hope you enjoy

When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
With a little help from some of the lyrics of the Doors descriptions of the uncertainty of the 60's Reg has decided to do a kind of Punk song from both sides about the trouble in England which seems to be igniting the youth to set light and loot…
Instrumental Acoustic Guitar.
Written in 2010 for the wedding of a very good friend of mine, Jason. It was the processional, playing while the wedding crew walked down the aisle. Played it with montgomeru (who also wrote the recessional…
Comments on Norm's stuff
This whole this is perfect. I think I like the additional perc at around :55, 1:55 ect the best.

this is what I'm talk about!! Rocking! So did your hands hurt hitting the metal?
@ Dave: You know I did!
Totally captivating and beautful. Did you polish it back up after man handling it? Wonderful recording.
YES! Man that bell sounds sweet! Love image of you working the bell as the train rolled on. The only bell I have is a tiny little tibetan bell...maybe I need to find a tiny microphone and work it! Ha ha
Enticing and hypnotic!

@ Vaisvil: I just emailed it to you...
Norm I really like it! Is there anyway I could you into sending me the TUBS for the main beat? I want to plagiarize it for a marimba part.
Very Cool Norm!!

Had me off the edge of my seat! Spookily done to perfect effect!
Comments made by Norm
Lovely!
Oh you brought it home alright! Excellent!
Here's to Billy!
All of your stuff is just excellent!
Well, the Unicorn in the glass dust may be the way to you, but Bee's voice is the way to me. Don't tell Bee, but MY dreams are slightly different: in them I hear her telling me how naughty I am.
Great to hear from you again Rick! The surf must have been exceptionally good for quite awhile... Awesome work!
I loved that album.

Wow, has it already been a year?? Are you attending the gathering this year?
They say a cut dog bears no pups, but I've got nothing but a pair of Indians. I'll meet you back at the Winnebago...
Excellent Reg!
Way to work it Daawg!
The drums do work here.
Ha! No, I'm afraid Hank Thompson got it right the first time, regardless of what Kitty Wells sang. Great version!
How did I miss this? LET IT BURN!
Gin. Nice work!
Mandolishous!
3/4 is perfect for a processional!
Boom!
