I was waiting for you to break out with your annual awesome percussion but this piece just kept on stretching till the end. brilliant!
cool side of you.
This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…

This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame you’d say
But aint that the way

This piece came from controversy over ratings at another website called www.traxinspace.com
Tricky (Jeroen Broks) wrote and recited a poem that a number of people put to music in an impromptu competition. Original http://www.traxinspace.com…
I think it is very smart that AT does not have a system of "ranking" or "rating" songs other than "favorite". Such a system, by it's very nature, is just going to hurt somebody's feelings.

Lucy of the species Australopithecus looks into the distance of Awash Valley in what is now Ethiopia and feels the future of what can be.
Performed in Charles Lucy's 0b5s tuning
This is a piano improvisation that mixes Pianoteq in Werckmeister III tuning with Cakewalk’s True Piano in 12 equal. What results is a soft phased piano sound. This skirts right on the edge of what can be considered microtonal. Some may well…
Well, I didn't understand what you had to say about the tones of this piece, but I enjoyed it.
And what a photo. Desperate. But well dressed. I sort of wish that was still the fashion...
"No ducks were hurt or killed during the production of the tune" is perhaps more of a reflection of your shooting skills as opposed to your musical skills. ;)
I’m glad your finger is better – I misunderstood how it was hurt. Garcia never let something as trivial as a finger slow him down either.
thetworegs - amazing vocals (is that really you Elvis, damn, what a vocal)
Dave - Electric guitar, synth, bass, drums from Boss microBR.
This was a labour of love. I have loved this song, and this version (Elvis) as long as I can remember…
Oh, this is priceless! Where do I start?
1. I'm sorry to hear you got punched in the nose.
2. Get your camo off and head over to my house- I have the orange sauce waiting and the grill is hot.
3. Either those are field recordings or your calling is even better than I remember.
4. The first 3 shots were yours, which was always your way of saying "uh, guys, there's some Sprigs overhead..". The last shot, of course mine - which actually produced a Sprig.
Excellent! Very clever.

Improvisation is what I love, finding out about things (when there is a little time).
I also post the video where I have used it in. Hedgehogs were here last year in our garden, and now they start coming back from hibernation. Uk, the hedgehog…

This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).

Norm has been teaching a master's class in percussion and gave me (a lot!!) of guidance to try to add bass properly to this. I added 5 string bass, Fender Mustang and GR-20 sax to his excellent Tumbao track. We hope you enjoy it.
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…
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.

I bought a $50 Woods DW-15 acoustic dreadnought 12 note per octave guitar at Guitar Center, fret wire, and a fret saw.
After a couple days of work I made a usable 18 note per octave guitar.
Most of the details and lots of pictures are on my facebook…
East-West Choir went on sale and I received and installed my copy yesterday. So this is a quick improvisation for ImprovFriday. Boys choir, double bass, tuba, celesta, bass drum, timpani and electronics.

Spooky video is very well done!
Very nice! I like the horns!
Excellent!
Lucy has seen the future and it is microtonal!

A wonderful performance of a classic.

Very motivating!
Lovely!
Wonderful sounds and an adorable hedgehog!
Chris, are you asking Reg for the lyrics or the bait? Oh, wait. He probably has both...
Exactly what bait does one use to hook one of those, anyway?
Bass directly on the ponche (2+), right where it belongs! Well done Chris!
@ Dave: You know I did!
@ Vaisvil: I just emailed it to you...
This is way hip, Chris.
Great sounds!
