Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
Tworegs visited and we couldn't help but get at least one colaboration song done in the studio. I wish we would have had time to get some other songs he wrote in SF recorded in my studio but I was out of town during part of his stay, and to be…

Working through a barrage of songs over two different computers. thought I posted this already but its not on AT. (?)
A little re-tooling on this one today as well.
Enjoy- Reef
Another recent song somehow not posted to AT (?) cleaning house this weekend.
Had the privilege of playing around with a cello in the house.
Dont know how to play the damn thing but too fun not adding it in the mix
This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…
I have Bodysnatchers and There There that I always play back to back in my car. To this day. Not sure why I do that. But now I know. Excellent performance, wicked harmonies!
After several bottles of wine, thetworegs and I were able to coerce Elvis and a few others down in regs basement to come out for a long overdue collab. After all, isn't October collab month?
Thanks again for the great vox!!

Hey Norm there was a knock on the door late last night and guess who was standing there all sultry and pouty .... yes .... you know who! .... it was her wanting in ..... I looked her in the eye and told her to go .... as she turned to leave I noticed her dress was so short I could see her stocking tops ...... I called her name .... Desirea she turned and smiled.........
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
The music reminds me of a scene from the streets of San Francisco then Karl Malden’s nose comes into my mind and my mind suddenly goes over the hills and far away ...I like it.

I recorded the sound samples at St Marks Basilica on the spot....the story you are about to hear is true; not even the names have changed to protect the innocent.
You pretty much made this an original, I am mesmerized. So cool! The little clean break at the end is magic. Yes, I want to be your dog. And your puppy lol!

No black no white
No dark no light
No big no small
You want it all
You go so far, you leave behind
The things you like, you’ll miss them all
On moving sands, you don’t sink
You fly so high, we’re you gonna land?
Everything, everything that you…
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…
Negative ghost rider, that polly rhythm pattern is full. Awww man, theres something about a 24 minute poly rhythm solo that makes conga stands fall apart !
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.
he's not blown away like a stray star
he's not stolen clean away by a fast car
but…

This track is an edit of an improv I did during one of those many TMY demo sessions.... We listened back, had a laugh & I never played it again! - Michael
My first rejected Ramen Music submission.
Too Much
I wrote you a letter but I never sent it
I was afraid you might never get it
or what if you did and I lived to regret it
and it was just too much for me to take
now its four in the morning…
Guitar/Vocals: Liam Sanders
Percussion: Norm
A song I wrote about feeling undervalued, with percussion from the wonderful Norm.
Lyrics:
I should be more than a Sunday afternoon watching awful films.
I should be more than the shirt you…
I couldn't talk for a while afterwards and I felt like a moron after listening to my vocals, but it had to be done :) So no laffin'!
Our attempt to be on the roof of Abbey Road Studios if only for a moment!
The Lineup:
Guitars: gtalfsen
Piano…
drip by drip..
I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…
No doubt you have heard parts of this before.
Guys - if I could play like this I would not be making a living as a chemist! This is a midi file I ran through pianoteq - I put this together in an hour this morning and I wanted to share before…
Stealin' Pumpkins off the vine...
Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.

Comments on Reefwalker's stuff
Great music to edit photographs too
Fun breezy collab!
Glad you guys was able to get into the studio with Reg’s intense touring schedule! Chris
It’s a shame we didn’t have longer but we did have a lot of fun with the time we had ..you did a great job on this
My two words … fucking yeah!
Mine just attacked me while I was watching it carefully in the mirror it’s true it must hate me
Really loving this one today guys -Launched
I have Bodysnatchers and There There that I always play back to back in my car. To this day. Not sure why I do that. But now I know. Excellent performance, wicked harmonies!

I just got the lyrics of this song tattooed down the right side of my ribcage.
Epic.
@Norm, lol. Now under water.
I've caught some of those . Nice clean mix and production.

I’ll agree with that ...
It’s Saturday morning “what shall I do? .... I know I’ll catch up with some Reef”

great distracted music build up-and fairly organized for this kind of improv with (5) ? others
love the guitar- the style reminds me somewhat of Rage Against the Machine
Negative ghost rider, that polly rhythm pattern is full. Awww man, theres something about a 24 minute poly rhythm solo that makes conga stands fall apart !
One of my favs on the album..Both of you did a great job here.
Yes, agree with chris, Ive been enjoying the songs but forgot they were all made for the 24 challenge. Awesome- great 24 hour album/
I like the tone of this thing. cool that this is a home made instrument too.
wow, this sound like a lost Lou Reed tune. sweeet. Great vox.
This song needs a fav if not for anything but the vocal additions.
cool tune
came up random on the ipod, still diggin this song.
Had to log back in to fav this one. Cant help but think of Lou Reed a little here.
Another great lyrical tune, with lots of moving parts - all mixed well.
Excellent tune. The simple keys rif throughout is addictive.
Good to see you Liam, This tune/lyrics are one of my favs - Midiman
Huge soundscape - unlock the doors and open the windows
I dont know why I keep thinking of The Who with this song. ya , this song would rock live. BTW when is the 1st annual AT live concert show??
cool trance vibe, the voice parts in the front are chilling
Thanks for the listen and comments! LOL, ya Norm, thats actually not far from the truth !!
beautiful tune
your percussion mojo keeps getting better and better. the cow bell really drives this home. great groove.
