@Richard: Many thanks! The quick rapid tone was created by rapidly striking the mallets on the highest pitched (smallest)cabinet. Thanks for listening!

So nice. One of these days I am going to take one of your fantastic drum tracks and add something. I shoudl try a jam over this right now with the mandolin.
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!

@Sha-Pink: Thanks! I have a wide variety of different drums - you can get one view of my studio from the cover of my "collaborations" playlist. Various congas, bongos, djembes, bass drums, bells and effects instruments... but no trap-set.

Seems a shame to finish those cabinets. Put doors on them and the wife will just fill them with dishes and useless stuff like food for the kids! They're such great instruments.

What the ? Is there anything that you won't strike rhythmically with a stick or something else.....don't let B+Q know( or whoever else sells DIY stuff over there if not B+Q )
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,
one diving board.
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...
This time in Spanish
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
@Richard: Many thanks! The quick rapid tone was created by rapidly striking the mallets on the highest pitched (smallest)cabinet. Thanks for listening!
excellent!! very rich sound,, every few measures or so i hear a? quick rapid tone,, how are you making that?.. this is very neat
Do it, Dave!
So nice. One of these days I am going to take one of your fantastic drum tracks and add something. I shoudl try a jam over this right now with the mandolin.
great, uplifting and fantastic.
Stunning stuff! Gotta love polyrhythms! And impressively tight as well - the man sure got rhythm! :D
Awe inspiring performance.
Time to mic up the kitchen sink.
I wish I was Donkey Cong!
nice, those are some great cabinets...
Very nice, love the "real deal."
@Sha-Pink: Thanks! I have a wide variety of different drums - you can get one view of my studio from the cover of my "collaborations" playlist. Various congas, bongos, djembes, bass drums, bells and effects instruments... but no trap-set.
Hi Norm, what kind of percussion set up do you have? You got the rhythm in you.
Wow. If I could add more I would, but this has me stuck at "wow"
i loved this tune, congrats!
Jeez, Norm, this is great stuff. This gives me the urge to start whacking stuff in the kitchen to see what sounds I can get. Now if I can just get everyone out of the house for a bit...
very very cool..
Seems a shame to finish those cabinets. Put doors on them and the wife will just fill them with dishes and useless stuff like food for the kids! They're such great instruments.
there is "rain forest" written all over this! simply excellent..
What the ? Is there anything that you won't strike rhythmically with a stick or something else.....don't let B+Q know( or whoever else sells DIY stuff over there if not B+Q )

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.
