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…

A cool wind brings the fall
And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
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.
Wanna go for a ride? Hop on in! (Many thanks to JQScutt for his excellent guitar work!)

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.
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…

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

@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!

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)
