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…
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
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…

Inside my heart is too.

Psychedelic, Rockin' and as groovy as spirit on soul. Your kind of acoustic percussion is what a yearn for, to have backing my Psych Folk songs. Tribal, Hypnotic, & Creeps insides you like a good 4:20 moment.
*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…
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.

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.

Artist's description:
Forgive me my voice!
This may be the most difficult vocal part I have written and tried to sing - but the vocal dissonance IS intentional.
Everything here (except vocals of course…
To the Wind baby!
Thanks for the vocal on this Mark bro!
You inspiered a band name....
(See Youtube Below)
This was Done on Logic.. Hope Y'all like it.

I loaded Sonar with a couple audio tracks + echo and recorded my wife's seagull acoustic via a dean markley soundhole pickup.
After the take I multiplied a couple times and edited a touch.
This is really just a test for a planned piece like…
3 guitar tracks followed by a track with the trap set. A lot of alt tuning lately posted on AT which I like. This guitar was tuned to an open G. After I did it, I thought the sound was more like a backwoods, hillbilly song.
Unfortunately…
I apologize for not listening much hear to other people's music lately. I do have an excuse because this week we have moved to a new home which has taken up lots of my time - and right now we are in the new location but living with lots of boxes…
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
a collaboration of Alister Flint - Carlo Serafini - Chris Vaisvil
so, Chris did this. Carlo did that. and i added some. for the technical stuff, see below. :)
This piece uses multiple tunings simultaneously and is the inaugural…
This is a chord progression I found when waiting for Debbie to come home.
Left channel is a piano voice via GR-20, right channel my Mustang's own voice through the DOD FX-7
Any collaboration would be welcome.
Everyone has a first time....
This is an "out-take" from the You EP. Written in 2000 it was not finished as far as it is until 2005. Being lazy I just adapted the original rough take I made so I would not forget the song.
There are a few electric…
This is a short soft Jazz piece I found while playing through a few chords this evening.
Guitar split (GR-20) left and right + (GR-20) sax.
Maybe a certain percussionist might join in when he can?
Trax in Space appeared to be shutting down - so this was a musical interpretation of the pending demise. As it turned out TiS is still struggling to breathe => not too unlike those smokers on oxygen you see in anti-smoking ads.
The Wife is a self confessed “Not a morning personâ€.....
I am a morning person (well... Wake up happy person).... and so is the boy....
This causes some friction sometimes.... LOL!!!!!!!

Ojalá (If only) it's a cover of Sebastian Santa Maria's original song.
For me it's a great honor recording this cover of this fabulous Chilean artist.

Another early prezzie to myself........

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!

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!
