Improvisation on congas and very fragile, clay Moroccan bongos (which my brother found for me from an African display at some zoo!). These bongos are basically clay pots with permanent, very thin goat skins stretched over the top - they can not…

Good point, Gumbo! That is the nature of "cross-over" patterns: they involve 2 rhythms with *different meters* which are played at the same *tempo*. So, regardless of listening to this pattern through the lens of 4/4 (8 beats/bar) or 3/16 (12 beats/bar), both patterns are played at the same tempo, i.e. 180bpm in this case. These patterns have measures that start at the same point, but do not end at the same point until cycling through 24 beats each - at which point they "cross-over"; a point that is illustrated by the clave in this example.

lovely - my only connection to this kind of polyrhythm is thru the Grateful Dead whose two drummers used to explore and experiment thusly.
I like that you can say it has 4 beats AND 6 beats to the measure and then say that it has 180 bpm ;-)

The Seventh Rook is a piece composed for solo microtonal piano in the Rook scale commissioned by John O’Sullivan who devised the scale. Rook is a subset of Raven version temperament. More tuning information is at John’s website. The score is here…
I see your phone continues to torture you... and you wonder why I don't call. ;)
Before you completely go off the grid, text me some GPS coordinates and blaze orange a few trail markers for me. I'll be bringing some seeds, powder and percussion instruments.
we all have cover a Pink Floyd song at some point, and the only way to cover a perfect song is to make it completely different. Deep down, I think everyone was hoping the wall was not too high, and the song could end on a happy note of breaking…
Excellent work here covering the Gilmore section of vocals on this song - I always sort of hoped the song could end at this point and Pink could reconnect beyond the wall, but alas, it is not to be so.
I'm with Daisy: I particularly love the vox effects!
(Thanks Norm for a great beat i think i'm even in time here and there…. i tried ….. i've been meaning to do something with this beat ever since i first heard it …so after watching one born every minute on the TV i decided to finally try so here…
first my apologies to J. Pachabell
second, my very best wishes to all my AT friends who make sharing music here so wonderful,, hope your holiday season is most wonderful and filled with love, peace to us all r

Okay, so this is awesome fellas - you're like some explosive cocktail of cool. Kicking major butt, three times!
Each of you kick ass. Together you three are magical! Excellent work fellas. JR
Norm, you are the freakin' coolest! This tune meant a lot to me and now it's on a pedestal. T is gonna love this when he hears it! Thanks, bro - Perfectly done.
wow, what a cool collab. the 3 musicians and instrument sounds mix well. I would crash into this late night show any day of the week
excellent!! I really like this collab! The voice perhaps could be a touch louder other than that this is excellent!
Damn that's a tough count. Super job man. Super.
This is fantastic Norm. Keep bringing me the lessons. I love it. Gotta go try this one now!!!!
I like all your tracks, so excellent sounding.
This is fantastic, seriously.

Hey..call me at st. john Lutheran. we need to talk! I love this sound!

LOVE IT!
Excellent!!
Crazy great.
Oh my, sublime, El Norm! Would you be terribly offended if I had a play around with this?
thanks for explaining the count btw - that helps a lot

I don't know how you keep time like this, but it's incredible!

Time "trevel"! I wonder what the world would look like now if Reg & Vaisvil had actually hooked up in 1981...
Did John play this? Excellent work!
I'm with Vaisvil.

Excellent! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this miraculous event. I love the ending!
Awesome!
Happy Baktun, to you. Happy Baktun, to you. Happy Baktun, dear Chris. Happy Baktun, to you. And many more... (Fabulous graphic)
