Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

Deep and raw....I FNG LOVE this, if i could fav it twice i would. It would be better if you could play this over very large speakers in an ampitheater. Low bass shakin your knee's.

PS, and yes I could hear you smoking along with the engine on smoke break.
Stop that, or I will take your bull-horn away and go hang out with the wheels.
"Late for the late shift". "The seats are out of cash". I just love that.
I'm laughing at the sounds of that crappy engine attempting to turn over... it's strange to hear those sounds in the absence of some rather colorful language!
Hey, and there ain't nothin' wrong with 100bpm.
This track is actually 99.583333% M.T.C. But, I needed an easy project for July, since I didn't have a lot of time last month. He had published it as a "B-Side" called "Quarter of a 60th Spanish." For fun, I just added a few subtle twists. Probably…

The Broken Cathedral of Christchurch is an ambient poly-tuning piece using 11, 12, and 19 notes to the octave. The instruments used are a Korg MS2000 synthesizer, 19 edo electric guitar (several tracks), and 5 string bass – all with liberal…
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,

Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
Ditty #9 for the RPMC album "Bones".
I'd had this rolling around in my head for about a year now, and even played it live with the SD&Q trio. Didn't quite turn out as planned, which is not unusual.

Norm is playing his piece:
"Groove For All Hallows"

Ha! "Take it away, Norman!". I love it - I would have gone ballistic at that point, had I seen that one coming. How fun; now pass that Ripple my way. Many thanks!

I purchased a new M-Audio midi keyboard during RPM. The software alone was worth the $100.
There was no chance I was wasting any time during RPM with a learning process.
Today, I got the opportunity to install the software and plug it in. This…
Time for a noodle in the middle of the house move...packing....dumping......sorting...reminiscing..... still waiting to exchange contracts and mean't to be moving Friday....a little stressed
Another experiment...

2/25/12: Somehow the original file got broken, so I had to re-upload this... nothing new here, except I lost all my nice comments :(
Here's another little something that I somehow got sidetracked on posting.... Thanks for the jams Norm! One of these days I'll bounce something fresh your way....
You know I'm diggin' and scratchin' when I start
sounding like Jimmy Buffet elevator musak :)
Oooooo the delightful chaos of RPM
This has 2 percussion loops, midi drums, midi fretless bass, some midi strings, synths, and piano, 2 gallons of…
It is such a treat to have live music like this posted here. You guys are awesome and saving me a fortune by avoiding the trip to Brooklyn to see what's up. Many thanks!
Comments on Norm's stuff
Killer track!
Very incredibly super fine in every way. Monstrous good sound here guys. Norm your percussion is spot on the money, great, great drumming here.
I sometimes forget how good you are, bro. This one reminds me...
Excellent! I hate it when a nut falls off!
I can't help but chuckle when I read the title, but I guess I'm quite juvenile :) I think this is great work, Norm, and so pro as usual. Nothing like real beats - Period!
hey your time was utilized correctly. i love the beat!
excellent! I really like this one
Negative ghost rider, that polly rhythm pattern is full. Awww man, theres something about a 24 minute poly rhythm solo that makes conga stands fall apart !

Oh yeah, now where's the sacrifice?
your percussion mojo keeps getting better and better. the cow bell really drives this home. great groove.

Deep and raw....I FNG LOVE this, if i could fav it twice i would. It would be better if you could play this over very large speakers in an ampitheater. Low bass shakin your knee's.

What ever happened to this guitar? Is the procedure over?

Beautiful.
Fascinating story about those wrens...
Super mix... more Djorkier is a very good thing, indeed.
Excellent!
Excellent.
That dog ain't never coming back. But she completes the trilogy.
this is the worst song ever written. I will always be grateful for it.
Excellent!
Inspiring!
Ha! "Take it away, Norman!". I love it - I would have gone ballistic at that point, had I seen that one coming. How fun; now pass that Ripple my way. Many thanks!
Hahaha!
Cool!
I hope you found a place with an even more mysterious basement.
Yeah, this moves nicely!
About time you posted this gem! Dig that out-of-sight bass/flute hanging in 7/8.
Hahaha! Just needs a bit more acid. No wait, I mean ripple.
