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.
Lyrics:
*Try not to get worried*
*I am with you always*
*Try not to get worried*
*And don’t forget*
*Simply…
Bloody hell...I struggle with 4/4 nevermind pushing the envelope to double that and add one ....sheesh !!
Hey are they talking about a fishing trip....the one on the left (as you would shake hands is saying) The one that got away,she was this big...the guy in the chair " I had enough of this already wid the the one that got away stories" and red riding hood he saying "hey Louis ,siddown,it's okay,we've all hadda little drink forget it..." and finally "are you guys ready to order or should I just stand here all day like a schlepp"

I'd love to try.

I like this tempo very much and the clapping too.
Sounds wonderful through headphones.
Marvellous how you can do all that and sweep up the dead leaves at the same time! ;)
*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…

There are 3 styles of the Rumba Guáguánco pattern: this one originates from the Cuban province of Matanzas (to the east of Havana).
“Rumba” is a Spanish term for a gathering of musicians, singers & dancers (what West Africans refer to…

This is excellent from both of you!
Norm sounds like an entire rhythm section, and I love the interplay between the various guitar parts.
More triangle!!
This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…
Yep. It's official. I finally broke through micro-tonally! Vaisvil plotted the conga scale sample at the end of the track on his V-vocal software, which demonstrated the 6 note scale I used ran from F to C#. So much for tuning via my tin ear - but on the other hand maybe my micro-tonal appreciation is just maturing.
I like both riffs - and that big, phat bass sound. Thanks for working with the "Itchy" pattern... it had an itch that couldn't quite get scratched, and the only cure was some funky bass!
Life is a quest for knowledge and a simple realization that not only is there so much we don't know but to declare it somehow is empowering. A great collaboration with Norm who is an amazing percussionist and a super cool guy! Thanks for the…
Well, I don't know what I don't know, but I do know that your guitar work rocks and is just what my "Skin On Skin" pattern needed! It was a banner idea of yours to combine the two of them - thanks for sinking about it.
There is a video for this below
Its all a bit cliche I know - but its what I wanted to do. All of the video footage was taken by me in an undisclosed location somewhere. This is a microtonal piano improvisation that uses Lucy tuning 0b6s meantone…
I've always found that talking to God involves much more listening then talking. And listening to this is a pleasure, as my ear matures to appreciate micro-tonal work. And, I suspect, you will miss the view from the undisclosed location.
Having fun this week at my own expense, not my genre but what the heck. I used all the kids that were playing at my house on Monday for the chorus - had a blast.
Collaborators: my kids Dylan, Zack, Ally with Jake Henning , Haley Henning

You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
This is first rock kind of song by our group "Quartet In Space". I hope you can enjoy with this one.

Ahem. It's a "Quartet in Space" only because actually physically putting these 5 guys in the same room would simply not be safe, but you can be certain it would sound fantastic.
Not terribly odd except for how I did it with Fretless gutiar.
I recently bought a used Fender Squier for $60, pulled the frets with pliers, filled the cuts with plastic wood, sanded, and jammed. Took about 2 hours to make the guitar fretless…
You + a self-modified fretless guitar + a universe of microtonal possibilities = we’re never going to get you off of that thing! Brilliant! Bold move! I can’t wait to hear some more of this.

You rat. That last voice sample caught me off guard... brought tears to my eyes, of course. That's my dad! What a nice Father's Day tune! Outstanding production. I can personally vouch that all the scenarios portrayed in this song are 100% factual.
A tune composed late in 2009, i've released it as well as other two tracks and some photos from a friend of mine as a micro-ep recently for free! Enjoy!
This is using a tuning I borrowed from The Smashing Pumpkins, which goes E-A-D-G#-B-E. Not…
This is the first song I uploaded to share on the internet when I first donned the name Alpha_Alpha. Thanks to fellow 'lonetoners and SoOn friends Norm and Vaisvil for contributing to make this song really special!
Ha! That cow-bell still nearly knocks me out of my chair everytime I hear it! ;) I'm always the last to find out anything... I didn't realize until today that you were posting on AT. Welcome!
For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom!

Killer! I think you held in there just fine! One more time....
@Slkrell: Many thanks! Of course. All of my stuff is up for grabs and I would love to hear what you do with it!

Damn nice groove!
Everythings all right yes everythings fine (no apologies to mr lloyd webber)
Hypnotic groove!
.....excellent...listening to this while walking you can't help skipping...well a kind of skip shuffle anyway....i call it the no worries shuffle
I like this tempo very much and the clapping too. Sounds wonderful through headphones. Marvellous how you can do all that and sweep up the dead leaves at the same time! ;)
Just Cyndi checking out the groves!
Wonder whatever happened to Alister.....
and just found Jarvo's comment, hahaha.....

Get Gilberto Gil to sing on this!
Very nice
Really diggin this one again today. :)
brilliant playing!
Oh guys, swayingly gorgeous. Deliciously sweet!

You make that Roland sound like an entire symphony! Sis is right, quite menacing.
Groove me out, bass daddy!

Brian sets an irresistible trap for catching some wild Vaisvil saxamaphone. Well done!

Yeah, I'm still diggin' it too.
Beautifully understated. I sure that your better worse half loves you all the worse better for it...
Nice playing and good job recording/mixing as well!
Nice one! Don't put it back!
I posted a remix today which adds Lexicon "Drum Hall" reverb and a bit of compression.
