Brilliant song! Love the complex patterns and also the "drone" soundscape in the background (yes, I would guess it is done with a modular synth, but I know you do not use that :-))

"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
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…

Man, i need to go back through all your collabs now...:) This is yet another great track. I think your kids had the right idea, it fits perfect with the music man!
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
"Afoxe" is a rhythm played by carnival groups from Bahia in Northeastern Brazil. It is named after an instrument that is traditionally used to play this pattern: an afoxe is a beaded gourd; aka "shekere". In this rendition, I replaced the shaker…

Second movment,, perhaps a little rough,, comments welcome,,, 6/11 Third mov is now done,,, and very very different from the first two,, scares me a little
Inspired by Tess' little Morwenna and my (getting bigger) Jessica. Writing back and forth with Bethan, I came to realize that a song needed to be written about the significance of the statements that so often come from the mouths of babes…
I cant seem to play this unless I do it live....
That is something new to me...
Used to be the other way around....
This is called "Do or die"...

Do or die, that’s what Everyone here is…
Made the piano intro up years ago. So every time I sit down at a piano I play it. Hopefully it bolts on nicely to the fat stack riff. The pause at the start is because I had to press record and then dash over to the piano.
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat???
Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for.
Move along..............Move along.

Excellent. That mouse had it coming. Let me know when you are inclined to do a track about your bear problem: you'll need some heavier percussion for that one!
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
@Richard: Many thanks! The quick rapid tone was created by rapidly striking the mallets on the highest pitched (smallest)cabinet. Thanks for listening!

Continued Chris Vaisvil radio interview…
Thanks for posting this, Chris. 2 hours of Chicago radio air time - sweet. You did a great job of music selection. Alas, I did miss hearing your personal commentary on the second hour, but it says something that the radio station thought enough of your work to feature it over a 2 week period.
This is my first effort with real bongos. I've been so inspired by Norm's talents, that I had to give it a try. I borrowed a set of bongos from my brother Asa.

I had to play 18 holes of golf to get my hands…
Nice work! And way to go on the computer closet... basically a cajon. I use cajon quite a bit: the key to building one is to make the striking face out of very thin ("aviation grade") plywood, if you can get your hands on some. Well done!
I had not touched my keyboard for a long time - couple months? So it was inspiring to play it again. I set it up in the living room of the new house and played pianoteq on my laptop using a Just Intonation tuning (below). Actually I had to improvise…
This is a smooth jazz piece built around Norm Harris' percussion using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set with the Aria player and a touch of tonehammer's Francesca sample set. Something Norm and I did last April.
Scored for upright bass…
That bass is simply too cool. I love what you have done with this pattern. Almost has an eastern feel in places...
Having grown up near Winfield, KS (home of Dorothy), I can assure you that they have never heard anything like this before - they'd love it! They'd probably bake you a pie for the opportunity to do a little "scat" vocalization on the mix, and, afterwards, while tending to the livestock, they would ponder about the possibility of there actually being 3 kinds of music: country, Western & JAZZ.
Comments on Norm's stuff
interesting,, thought on the idea of faith,, i agree with WS,, sounds excellent with headphones,,, i like you logo,,, very cool,, excellent work
There is nothing stinky about this excellent stuff
excellent
Brilliant song! Love the complex patterns and also the "drone" soundscape in the background (yes, I would guess it is done with a modular synth, but I know you do not use that :-))
Damn fine groove here, i agree with W.S. i need to cruise back over this tonight with a good set of cans on.
Good work Norm
Agree with Chris, This is really nice...especially in HD headphones..
excellent!
Deeeeeeeelish, bro! I love it!!
Ive said it before this is excellent, too excellent just to have for xmas
Yes you, seemingly, the master of a rhythm! I like this.
Ah yes, what a sweet tune-still one of my favorites.
Hooray!!!! for the chocolate cat
killer percussion on this one too man!
Man, i need to go back through all your collabs now...:) This is yet another great track. I think your kids had the right idea, it fits perfect with the music man!
Now how the heck did i miss this......damn this is sweet! Nice work on the drums Norm!
Love it Norm! Thanks for the comment!
Not sure if I should be wiggling about like this, hey why not!
Slick-ster deluxe. Very colorful.
This is excellent, really something to listen to closely.
Comments made by Norm
Just lovely. Well done.
Rocks. Nice work.
Stong work.
Great song!
Just beautiful. Nice work, gents!
Nice piano intro - I can tell you have been playing it for years. I think it works well with your Fat Stack riff.
Excellent.
I've got a fever and the only cure is "more mousetrap"!
Outstanding! Another great percussion track, which we have come to expect from you. Thanks for posting this!
Fantastic!
Well done!

You sound great with it already! I love mandolin.
Folks don't know what they are missing with your stuff. Very tight. I've really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Top notch.
