excellent collab indeed, and a great tune! the original has a rather intimate feel, adding your percs turned it all into a get-together afternoon, under the sun, with good buddies and let the jammin' goes its own way..

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:

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…

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

Comments on Norm's stuff
that drumhall effect is amazing. . . I thought the first mix was great so i am even more blown away by this! That is superb norm!
Holy smokes, bro - Lexiwhat?? I'm such a reverbtard so I always stay away from it, but you really did well here. And I love the new mix and the changes you made. Downloaded and the PiePod has been updated!
Lovely!!!
that lexicon added a 3rd dimension to the track! magical piece..
I posted a remix today which adds Lexicon "Drum Hall" reverb and a bit of compression.
grooooove on!! you rolls rock and congas coming in at 01'38" is right on..
I have posted a new mix processed via a Lexicon MX200 to add "drum plate" reverb and a bit of compression.
dem is sum ill beats dog.
Great cover of a classic!
:) great stuff fellas.
EXCELLENT, WONDERFUL! LOVE THIS TRACK! w;-)
I first heard this song about 7 months ago, and I gotta say Norm, you really added value to it. Amazing!

Awesome, like vanilla ice cream awesome. More three way collabs!!!!!
excellent collab indeed, and a great tune! the original has a rather intimate feel, adding your percs turned it all into a get-together afternoon, under the sun, with good buddies and let the jammin' goes its own way..
Most sympathetic and gorgeous. What I like about it is you haven't tried to compete, just complete and the outcome is wonderful.
How on earth do you make your drums sing like that? Understated, melodic, compulsive. I think you are brilliant!
BRILLIANT. I enjoyed every second...except the one after it ended. ;)
Nice collab Norm! I'm about half way done with mine with a couple of your tracks, can't wait to share it!
Sweet heavens this is fantastic. Sheeeeit thats so good.

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.
