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..

As you know, I love this piece. It is so rich and complicated, that it is mind-blowing. And while I am not certain this is the final mix for this (it really should all be acoustic, shouldn't it?)it is so delicate and intricate from a metric point of view that we (by "we" I mean all of us who hope to be involved in the final version of this)will need to spend some time together in advance to decide exactly how to tap our feet to this.
Love it.
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
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
Recording some match lighting samples recently and felt compelled to put some music to it.
I put the mic up to some raw acoustic guitar. Bass and lead added with FX. Norm added percussion, making it sound waaaay better.

lyrics…
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
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.
2010 24 hour challenge. Record a 24 minute song in less then 24 hours.
Work has been so crazy music has been taking a back seat. I might have to try this concept again to get anything done on the creative side of things. :)
This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…
A collaboration with buddies of mine from songcrafters.org Just dug it out again today and thought I'd share it.

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!
NORM!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have no Idea How Happy I am !!!!! THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

Still digging this one!
Many thanks Chris!

There be me too. "Hey, a coin of all things!"
Ahhhh. Cool breeze tonight. Still loving this.
Still laughing at this one...
Sneaky little bastards! This still sounds great.
Epic, indeed!
Now I have delicious dusty, orange cheese powder all over my fingers! Excellent bi-product!
Light fuse, get away!
An awesome chemtrail followed by a loud report.
Bad ass!
More banjo! Much easier to hop a train with a banjo on your knee than with my congas - next stop Roanoke!
A two-door subcompact car won't eat much... but this kicks!
Interesting, absorbing; cool; refreshing... ah, and interesante.
Shit the bed.
Ah. That's what I'm talking about. I've been curled up in the corner of the house, twitching for a Launched fix. I'm much better now.
Excellent!
