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!
Ok, I'm ready for the song describing how the guys go off to a secluded island/mountain cabin/desert cave with their instruments, a case of scotch and a Weber grill. In the future, please use my percussion patterns to write a song likw that.
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

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…

Good ole wah pedals ;) I think sometime in the future i would like to invest in a talk-box...why? i have no idea, i think if i ran my guitar with a synth effect on it, through the talk box to a wah....it might get interesting.

he was nuts. too creative for his own good. he used to get high on absinthe all the time and that really altered his reality. it essentially fucked him up good. Hemmingway was another absinthe user/abuser. do da maff.

Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…
This song is dedicated to my van...the Pumpkin.
She took me all the way from Winnipeg to St. John's, Newfoundland. On the way home she died on the 40 East between Quebec City and Montreal where i had to let her go.
Oh Pumpkin you have been good…
I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
I did this live performance at the Shore 104.3 radio station yesterday (Aug.25'10) directly after singing this song in the vancouver PNE talent contest and winning first prize! hope you like it!
Check out the video of the PNE performance!
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…

Lyrics by Rat-Hybrids
It's been tough to keep up lately, hope everyone is well.
Something I was working on as part of a larger project. When it's done I'll link it.
One about needing some space....
Geir: Lead Guitar Line
Launched: Harmonies bass and Production
Mr OsCKilO : Chugging Guitars and Vox
Mrs OsCKilO: Lyric
Peace Guys
An intrumental Track I put together when Thinking about my family.
One Guitar represents my son, one my wife and one me......
Two Versions with Vox (Jim Higgins and Geir Alfsen) are also in existance.. not sure how to link to this site…
I also recorded this once through on the Martin and Zoom H-2 yesterday as well. One day I'll do a decent version of this, I promise. For now this is my modest Happy B-day to John.
This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…
Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.
We Didn't Get Time to do this in Norway.
Geir put down great the Guitars.
I took the Vox and Lyrics...
This is called "Your Heart"
-Your Heart-
Your shout is silent now
It feels I’m missing out
This void is lasting evermore…
I resorted to some unmarked old CDRs in the car today on my way to and from my Dad's (I brought him a new laptop) and found one of the earlier collaborations between Norm and myself.
This is dedicated to the families who have (and still…

Very cool!
Precious recording!
Sweet tune.
sounds good, like the 'night sounds' as well.

I hated this song from the moment I heard it. It was the last song in the world I wanted to hear. I still hate it, but I listen to it every day.
This is really great. I love the changes.

This was sweet!
like Jarufus says: do da maff.
he was nuts. too creative for his own good. he used to get high on absinthe all the time and that really altered his reality. it essentially fucked him up good. Hemmingway was another absinthe user/abuser. do da maff.
Van Gogh would be proud.
Excellent track mate brilliant.

sharp edge lyrics as usual. Great vox.
Love the FX's man. sublime! Would like to hear more of this.
great rendition, love the vocals
Excellent alt tuning. Wide open and sometimes odd sound scape, Beautiful
WOW, where did this come from?? I love it. from the beginning where you turn the mic on before you begin play all the way to the lactic acid finish.
Bizarre, yet Cool tune, I like the background vocals, This sounds like this could have originally been a MIDI track with new/diff samples inserted
great playing, love the lyrics too.
great tune. " live free or watch TV"- priceless.
Ha, I had to log in again just to laugh at Sister's comment. great collab track guys !

Man, ive been out a while... Cool, mellow tune.
agree with Bethan, great short build up at 2;10. Good tune
great song to wake up to this morning !
The guitar and drums here are perfect- I think the mix is very good
Beautiful piece
Love The Beatles, cool cover,
Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.
Great tune OSk ! The vocal are great, I like the double vox track
This tune brings me back into some great times man. Still dig this collab.
