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…

Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…

*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…

This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…

Nice. It's also interesting when you play the same rhythm but on different times, say one in 4/4, and a same pattern but stretched (or compressed) to a triplet, gives a really full surround, though I'm talking in terms of guitar or synths, not sure how it would play out in percussion.

Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…

I think if you could see the details of the painting more closely you would be able to see that in fact they are rolling die at the dinner table: Red Riding Hood has just rolled her 5th natural 7 on the come-out. Moments after the instant of this painting, the gent on the right flips the table over and Mr. Skull-cap slips Red a shiv.

Comments on Norm's stuff
Another early prezzie to myself........
it won't be long I'm getting in early to the good stuff.........

Sebs a bit out of sorts today but this seemed to calm him down nicely.....thanks
Ah, my comment got wiped out! It was along the lines of "Cool" and "Awesome!" Like the photo too!
Still puttin' out the mighty beats I see!! Love it, bro!
excellent
ah, the Ambrosian chant. I see why you named it for him now, I think.
Re: The glass dust .... That is because you Are naughty Norm! Bee :)
Oh Norm, Ha ha! I do love you!
nice beat i loved it

Norm, that was Fantastic!!
I like the goove here bro! The lyrics help bring out the count I'm Percussion illiterate
Good jammin harp and guitar. Now let's hear that 23 edo version :)
I let my heart to trouble me 'cause of this groove My heart is in worry 'cause I'm from this world So~ ^_^
@Shirt: Ha! Well, probably not all of them.
I bet all those 'Mishna', 'Gmarah' Rabbi's are enjoying your grooves. Very subtle and moving...like it!

Excellent!
This is going to get even uglier.
Very nice session. You've come a long ways, Reg.
You know, that photo really says it all. Good grief! Nice work here, Chris!
You can't make the noise if you don't have the toys! Nice find... gotta love ebay for instruments!
Excellent!
Excellent.

Following Reg around today... he knows how to pick them. I made my decision: fave!
Fly fly fly! This is fly!
I REALLY love the R channel guitar riff.
Excellent.
Now this is a crushing burden. Very heavy. How will you carry it Reg? LET IT GO!
Igor is right - don't get too deep into those blues, Reg! I'm starting to worry about your sanity.
I'm glad your liver is feeling better. I just hope that you are being careful not to scare anyone, Reg.
It's a big story to tell in under 5 minutes... but I like what you have done and Reg's vox is great as usual.
Yummy!
