RPM17
1/10
First song on RPM 17....eh first song on RPM ever lol
Really glad I made this one.
I had to dig up an old VHS tape (anyone remember those?) for the audio sample in this track.
The hardest part about making this tune was actually…
Damn! Feels good to hit the Upload button again!
Completed RPM 17. this is the last track!!. the album is my first run through with logic pro ( dumping pro tools and the monthly subscription fee)
I feel great playing again.. been so long…

Brilliant album - hugely enjoyed this as the sun came up today. It sounds sun-infused, musically robust and witty, cheeky... Well done on your first (awesome) RPM album!
Maybe this should have been called feb 28th lol
Who dosnt need a little more time for RPM?
Clearly I was running out of ideas for lyrics, So naturally, I asked Bob Dylan to help out
"I think I need a little more time". Love February, right? But this is sounding really polished. Love your spoken voice too. Late night radio swagger over smooth guitar infused dreaminess - I mean the whole album. Haha! Dylan?! This is bonkers. Great, but bonkers.

Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
Found this track from 1998 - I'm on a Time kick I guess...
Time waits for no one
We are all adrift
Finding ourselves in space
All Lost
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Time waits for no…
Wrote all the lyrics and most of the melody for this song in one sitting during a particularly busy period in my life.
Just an indulgent little jazz tune poking fun at myself... those who know me well will instantly recognise the lyrics as…
An exercise in dissecting a well known song to see what makes it tick. Drums are looped, bass is not in tune, guitar is not quite right, but I'm slowly getting there. Will update this later. Somewhen...
It's not unusual to chase your girl around with a dull axe, is it? Just kidding - This was 60 tracks and almost a year to finish. I had some help:
Guitars: Tony W
Fadeout Solo: Gnasty
Acoustic/Rhythm Guitars: Me
Phone Message: Tony W &…
Well, I had this crazy idea that *maybe* Buddy Guy was using some microtonal inflections in his cover of Tramp (which are what the "blue notes" are and thought it would be cool to cover it with my fretless guitar. As it turned out it was my ear…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)
Washburn bass
voice with effects
drum loops sliced and diced
We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…
Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!
oh man, I really like this one. I had attempted a tune with this perc track using samples of other kitchen sounds but could never get it right. This sounds really good . nice collab guys !

And lunatic is a lifestyle.
I'm really glad you made this one too before the tape finally turns to dust.
Not that I need another reason to enjoy jamming with you...
Cool first RPM album :)
Brilliant album - hugely enjoyed this as the sun came up today. It sounds sun-infused, musically robust and witty, cheeky... Well done on your first (awesome) RPM album!
Oh nice groove. Love this slinky bassline.
Love the carousel-esque intro.
OK, so now I'm cheek to cheek with a cowboy. I'll take it!
"I think I need a little more time". Love February, right? But this is sounding really polished. Love your spoken voice too. Late night radio swagger over smooth guitar infused dreaminess - I mean the whole album. Haha! Dylan?! This is bonkers. Great, but bonkers.
Ooh nice switches in feel here - cool and adventurous. Digging the last part especially.
Haha! Love RPM themed songs. And cocktail ones.
Pretty dreaminess. Love those trickling tendrils.
Is that audio from your wedding?! <3
So glad you plunged in to the RPM pool and it was such a great experience for you! Will you do it again? Loving this album opener - fab breezy feels.
Like it. Good job and nice arrangement :)
Aloha Reef, Nice! this is making me want to get out my stuff and record something.
Sort of making me drool a bit...
Whoa...
Love - indeed too long!
Very nice! Cool panning on the guitars.

K, the fretless was exactly what was needed. excellent playing as usual.
but wait, theres a floydish Animals ingredient too in that bouncy bass
wow ! very cool, I like the big open smokey jazz lounge feel
fuzzfilth ! great tune. I think it sounds great as is.
cool sounds, really like this tune, crisp
of corse this is excellent. the sound clips are a really cool addition, I have a pic of Duke in the music room but have never heard his voice.
creative and tech great mix...and ah yes, that solo...Download
very cool tune. love the harp
cross-over rhythms are getting a little easier to follow, in large, do your your posts man ! keep em coming... sounding good.
wow, dude, I cant believe I missed this one, nice Ukulele - like the tone at the end and beginning.
great tune, well timed out and mixed too. I like the guitar notes and tone thoughout
Gritty, raw, cool Tramp tribute. I think the fretless guitar is excellent. perc matches the raw feel.
I like the subtle progression- almost a rick wakeman feel near the second part. I like the simple ending too.
wow, strings really fill up the room. Great sound !
Im glad to see you back ! tight rhythm and cool new Fx's. the new room sounds good - almost like cherry wood...
cool rhythm, sounds like some FX on the bass drum too?
Nice improv. Something also to be said about doing songs in different locations too. background voices a plus.
yeaaaa baby!!!. dig this song. Nice collabatone!
oh man, I really like this one. I had attempted a tune with this perc track using samples of other kitchen sounds but could never get it right. This sounds really good . nice collab guys !
Another sweet tune
