This is so complex rhythmically that I don't know *how* to play along. I'm not sure if one should - it stands on its own - wow. This is a lesson here. Please send Alex my regards for his skill and sharing his cultural heritage.

Inside my heart is too.
And I don't know how to…

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…
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.
Reg has got a new self help cd because he's not too happy with the direction his life has been going and he needs a change but his not sure how to go about it.............

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…
Fisherman and the Siren by Lord Frederic Leighton
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).
We hope you enjoy it…

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…

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.
Comments on Norm's stuff
this is good, i really like the timing of all these nice percussions. i was tilting the whole time.
Great beat nice one. And thanks for your recent comment.
Great stuff Norm!
Alex tu m'as rappele encore les ceremonies de deces de mon pere ou le hugan a ete joue.
Still one of my favs....
Drum Man!
As for playing with it, I would say, listen to the shaker. It's keeping a steady beat most of the time.
thanks for sharing this. It's great and also educational :)
This is so complex rhythmically that I don't know *how* to play along. I'm not sure if one should - it stands on its own - wow. This is a lesson here. Please send Alex my regards for his skill and sharing his cultural heritage.
Yes, I'm loving these great pieces from Alex - Fantastic! The recording quality has been excellent along the way as well.
Rythmic genius
I really love these, well recorded also,. BTW, I cant believe you didnt keep one of the kitchen cabinets on the drum room- those sounded awesome
Spirited playing. A lesson learned for me.
amazing playing! and when closing the eyes, it transports you there right way.. excellent drums!
norm, nice one man.
Very cool!
This is great that he played this with the "tape" running! Can I use this? I would not alter it, as you mentioned it shoud'nt be.
SWEET!!!!! This are some Awesome Beats!
Wow, sharp shooting voodoo! What a treat! Thanks for sharing!
magic rhythm

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!
