Recording some match lighting samples recently and felt compelled to put some music to it.
I put the mic up to some raw acoustic guitar. Bass and lead added with FX. Norm added percussion, making it sound waaaay better.

4 stereo guitar tracks played out one at a time.
Another late night - early morning recording.
I like to keep a positive attitude about the things that haunt me, but sometimes dreams change course unexpectedly, and the worms creep in.
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!
I was collecting 4th of July samples and recorded a jewel. By chance, I recorded my 4 year old girl, and you can hear her thought process...wondering how the fireworks were so high in the air - perhaps the fireworks were dropping from the sky…
I write a Vikings parody song for every game of the Minnesota Vikings season for my blog, which is found at http://www.thevikingship.net
This is a parody of Killing In The Name Of by Rage Against The Machine
Lucy of the species Australopithecus looks into the distance of Awash Valley in what is now Ethiopia and feels the future of what can be.

This dark reggae tune has been hanging around in my "works in progress" folder for a while, but I was finally inspired to complete it when I borrowed a guitar from my friend Joe. Thanks, Joe!
Time for a little humor. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last year, and the pain was debilitating. When I got the right pain meds, I felt so much better that I wrote this song. Colin added his considerable vocal talents and his harmonica and brought…
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
Hey Rick !
What a cool album, The collabs you have done with this percussion are perfect matches.
It only seems like Norm and I have been on AT for a few months but it has been over a year-and many tunes later :)
A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot.
This is one of the hidden tracks on my new album "Black Cat" which features Beth, Keith and Reewfwalker from alonetone and Geir and Jim from Songcrafters.

Another experiment with MetaSynth this time taking a single bowed waterphone sample and running it through the Spectrum Synth. I then experimented with the tempo (spectral timestretching), interpolation settings, and applying formant filters to…
Fisherman and the Siren by Lord Frederic Leighton
This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).
We hope you enjoy it…
the sheriff's back in town
that o' hired hand of dread
cleanin' up the channels
knockin' down the webs
his lights, they are a flashin'
stopped me in my tracks alone
his hand on rein and bridle says
this freedom's gotta go
he said it…
Norm has been teaching a master's class in percussion and gave me (a lot!!) of guidance to try to add bass properly to this. I added 5 string bass, Fender Mustang and GR-20 sax to his excellent Tumbao track. We hope you enjoy it.
about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…
At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…

Waaaaaaaaah!!! Killer rockout. Great effects and pro, pro work. I dig this immensely!
Heluva dream! The guitars are great - I did like how they were ever changing.
Still brilliant!

delicate, precise fret play and a classic blues vocal
cool feel, the bass/drum rif is almost radioheadish.
cool track, cant believe I havent herd your stuff before now ! Waayyy to short, would love to hear a full up version with vox.
what spot did you write this song on again ??
drooling over the guitar pics, the green axe is particularly dreamy. nice blues with the harp..
oh man I have tears in my eyes. Great tune. GO vikings! - unless of course they play The Broncos.
The evoked emotion with this microtonal piece is perfect for pondering the future-even for hominids
love the bass riff on this one mon! cool reggae tune.
Down to a tee including the vocal at about :55 Zep is absolutely the best. Great cover. This would sound so killer with a multiple mic up/mix
well of course, how else could you play rock and roll? Love the harp and the horns in there too- nice! Somehow Sid Vicious didnt do this one first.
would fav this again if I could...

I like the percussion filling in on this song, really glues it together. The violin is fantastic.
I have no idea what you just said....but it sounds cool. way outerspace
cool, gritty tune
Down to earth grass root playing. great tune. cant help but think of Neil Young influences.
great cover gents. vocals ,mix is very good.
cool twist to this track Chris, the sax sounds great here.
haunting and beautiful too. Great work RA
excellent field work my brother, I know you have other samples from this gem, send me a wav.
