While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.
When…

Lyrics:
There’s a pound or two of flesh in my chest yet.
It sits next to the bag that brings me my breath, yes.
A knot of muscle that flex and flex and flexes,
It’s okay—no rest (unless time requests it).
In the bowl above my eyes a gelatinous…
Samples used in this tune from the NY subway this summer. Inspired by Dave Dunseath

I purchased a Simmons drum pad today - I'm not a real drummer - please be kind. It was on sale at Guitar Center $180 + extended warranty + sticks http://www.simmonsdrums.net/sdmp1/
The synth is my Fender Mustang + GR-20
I do have video of Jacob playing the udderbot with the band - but right now I'm still putting together my gear from storage and this was the best I could do with Windows Live movie maker on my laptop.
So for now - enjoy the sound of Jacob jamming…
Great bluegrass. Great video (you seem to be getting passed more than passing...), and, of course, I had to look up "udderbot". What a cool instrument! Make your own! I am!

I could have made a great Prime Minister
Just need a good reason to be sinister
Give me an army, an enemy,
a great war --
and I'll deliver
Put me in the middle of nowhere
In the wilderness I'll survive
But in an air-conditioned…
What You Forgot is an electronics / percussion piece that uses Absynth and Dimension Pro in two different harmonic series tuning (5 limit and 7 limit). The percussion is provided by Kontakt. The piece was preformed on an AXiS 49 in one pass…
his song is just an experiment or at least started that way. Based on an "Ultrabeat" groove ( the only loops ) I added parts and sang an "Off the cuff" vocal and mixed and tweaked. Mostly Midi parts played through my cheesy Midi controller but…

Norm, I love it. This is all new to me and I'm digging this venue. We'll have to do a song together.
Great beats as always Norm. You can bet I'll be using this. Has anyone done a "Stone Age" playlist yet with all these tributes? hmmm
Beautiful Norm. There will be some great collaborations with this piece for sure! RIP JS
Nice mellow track bro. tempo and beats are right on the money.
Lovely.
That's a beauty Norm! Great stuff!
Performed in whispers. Beautifully and tastefully done Norm.
How cool man we both did a toast to the Stone Age and didn't even know it!! Sweet to hear some new beats from you.
One of your more mellow jams....Rest in peace Johnny.
Comments made by Norm
Too much fun!
The closing round was delightful as was the udderbot in the final song. I should probably make an udderbot...
Awesome, Reg! Great collaboration betwixt a couple of AT giants!
Ah yes. 2 drummers at times! Wonderful stuff.
Superb drum work!
Excellent drummer! Totally pro.
Beautiful.
Totally pro!
This one soars.
It was only a matter of time... it pleases me that you are releasing your inner percussionist.
Love the street drumming busker!
Go Dave Go! Nice work.
Good for you! Be careful with such an addicting piece of gear!
Do it some more!

"Just give me a reason to be sinister..." Very clever.
It's great to hear that you are doing better! Cool piece.
I like the touch of Reg!
Awesome song.
