I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
Merengues are fast arrangements with a 2/4 beat, originating from the Dominican Republic. The traditional instrumentation includes a "güira" (guiro), which is a percussion instrument that sounds like a scrapper. The Merengue güira is a cylinder…
The chorus of this groove is in 5/4 and the verse in 9/4. You can hear me fall apart at the very end… guess I got worried.

*Try not to get worried*
*I am with you always*

*And don’t forget*
*Simply…

As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…

LYRICS
A cool wind brings the fall
And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
Inside my heart is too.
And I don't know how to…
Whats going on Norm. I am missing out on some really great stuff lately.......damn work.......I need to spend some time with your grooves to sooth my soul..........................AHHHHHHHHH
Basically my feeble attempt at a fist pumping 'dance' song... but of course I had to weird it up a bit. :) The main vocalist who basically says variations of 'I like to dance' are my computers voice. Thanks for listening!
This is an experiment where I slowed down Norm Harris’ percussion track “7th Son†http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son and slowed it down by a factor of five and ran it through effects and such – and then played along with my 17…
about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…
Another oldie as I work on other stuff. State of the art PC sound in 1991 was the Adlib card with one OPL2 FM synthesis chip w/o audio capability. Limiting as that was I still had a lot of fun with it. This is one example - I love that lo-fi…
Doom! Count me in!
(Ha! Had to laugh as the 7 sec. mark of this one has that "squeak" sound that I have previously misinterpreted in other songs as being a squeaky bass drum foot pedal... what do I know about computer generated music?)
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Nero's Butterfly Two Star Poem Remix
This is a collaboration with anonymous and my wife. I wrote the script / lyrics and anonymous did everything else. So I can say - I've always admired the excellent performance of both - Debbie did the voice…
This dark reggae tune has been hanging around in my "works in progress" folder for a while, but I was finally inspired to complete it when I borrowed a guitar from my friend Joe. Thanks, Joe!
I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.
3rd one for RPM2011. This is an 'oh you'll never get to heaven' type affair inspired by a beer my mate introduced me too. The song is basically about drinking yourself to death and having one up on the healthy brigade having made a rather spectacular…
Comments on Norm's stuff
Taking me places. I'm with Bee on the percussion - it's wonderful :)
He was probably building a home studio. This is exactly what it sounded like when I built mine. Minus all that 5/4 stuff.
Really makes my imagination run wild. Nice going guys!
Great collab guys. Vox right on. The instrumental at the end especially makes the mind wonder, what the hell IS he building in there.
Wonderful, really interesting! Great performance Reg and delightful percussion! Bee
Fantastic guys......oh yeah
this is awesome, just awesome!
...and that the business is? Yeah! - and what's he building in there? ...what was built, finally? Knock-knocking, what they do - it is unclear. We have a rights to know! ;-)
Great stuff, but ya know- Maybe it's none of our business!
Nothing for you to worry about !! .............
yessss indeed most excellent,, seems like a perfect colab of your talents and soul
Excellent.
Very cool! Can't believe I never heard this one before

Very cool groove!
Comments made by Norm
*Grant us peace.* Thanks, for you have.
I love the harmonica here... nice job!
Great fun! (*pumping fist in the air*)
Of course it's about a car! Great work here.
Excellent work! Great collaboration.
I'm surprised the rhythm pattern holds up as well as it does being slowed down 5X - I like the reverb that you have added. Wild stuff!
For the prices Club Med charges, I had expected a somewhat happier sounding place!
Strong work! This doesn't really need any words - speaks alot without them.
I had planned on having my ashes shot out of a cannon, but I think this is a much better idea!
How can such a little thought be so thought provoking?
Just awesome, Richard.
Doom! Count me in! (Ha! Had to laugh as the 7 sec. mark of this one has that "squeak" sound that I have previously misinterpreted in other songs as being a squeaky bass drum foot pedal... what do I know about computer generated music?)
What else can be said about this one, except how did I miss it?? (Apparently I'm the only one who did!) Wonderful Kirk.
Totally pro.
I hear a vibratone! And I thought I was the only guy who had one. ;) *Great* song.
Ah, the good 'ol days of TraxInSpace... this was a classic there!
Whoa! Awesome bass!
@Chris: Man you are fast! I didn't realize the song would post before the description...
Ah, this DOES move very nicely. You are letting your Little Feat influence shine!
Excellent! Reminds me a bit of "Uneasy Rider" by Charlie Daniels, which is a song I have always wanted to cover.
