A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.

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…

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

Howsa always had better food....
This is superb!
A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.

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…
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
This whole this is perfect. I think I like the additional perc at around :55, 1:55 ect the best.
has a Pink Floyd ring to it!
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!
i always know i can fave one of your beats,,, even before i hear it.... there always that cool/interesting,, and thanks for the write ups you often do .. very nice

Really love the name norm! The percussion is spot on Ace as always. Shabbat Hamalka- the queen of the seventh dat of the week.

Excellent track Norm as always...i've jumped on this one for the ride ....Do your Dance...Cheers
@ 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!!
Great percussion. Love it.
Had me off the edge of my seat! Spookily done to perfect effect!
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!
