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…
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!
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
When we were kids, my brother used to wake me up before dawn and we would schlep across this field and wait for the unobstructed sunrise. At that time, it seemed like the coolest thing ever!
I saw the sunrise this morning walking the dog it felt special too .... maybe because there’s not many left , well less than that have already been .... let’s hope I’m wrong

Merry Christmas all!. This is a collab I did with Wrinkled shirt a while back. was originally released under Wreathwlaker.
i played 4 different guitars over WS's frosty tune, each with their own personality.

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
I have officially stopped with CD 's and now have decided to mail zip drives. I tried mailing these in a regular envelope. (FAIL lol)
One guy got postage due of $2.51 and the other, the envelope was destroyed with no zip at all. For my brother…

I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.

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…
Piano Sonata One -- the Mexican Sonata
1st movment here
2nd finished -- but waiting its turn
3rd in concept form (much to think about)
Dedicated to Ralph who passed away last year during the RPM month of February,, The slower middle section…
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…
Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…
CROSS-OVER POLYRHYTHMS
This is actually a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with **different meters** (i.e., a different numbers of beats/measure) are played at the **same tempo**: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms…
Another wacky production from the stretchy, bouncy, and elastic world of Rubber. Special thanks to Mark (Launched) for writing this one for us.
We had a whole bunch of fun with this song and you will too.
Enjoy!

When I wrote this song.... It was about staying true to your Ideals...
In fact... It is about a person that put me in a very difficult situation....
One that effected my life for a while... Just for doing the right thing...
I think…
Do you remember those in your past who made your life more magical?

A new Clint Eastwood will need this for his new spigot western. Great guitar sounds.
Long live the trilogy!!
Worked!
Ha! I haven't had to listen to this one in over 2 years. Progress! An epic recording. Very important to me.
Great lullaby. Please play me just one more. Whaaa? Where did Launched come from? I had given up hope!
I toetapped this sonnavabitch through the floor and down into the basement!!! And the recording quality is impeccable, I love it!
Magic!!
Such a pretty sound. Caught it at sunrise and it was perfect!
Loving it too .......you never know you may get your name in lights !!
I saw the sunrise this morning walking the dog it felt special too .... maybe because there’s not many left , well less than that have already been .... let’s hope I’m wrong
I am grateful for those memories...
ZZLOVEIT!
two new ones from Reef it must be Christmas..... loving that singing guitar thingy thing going on.....
I feel im getting to that age where i'm beginng to be grateful for each and every sunrise....
really cool! love the layers of music....
Wow..
A GREAT Rock & Roll song. I'm surely one of the 3 fans, brother!
@ JM Taylor: good ear on that open G tuning. No matter how you play it, it ends up sounding Keith-ish lol
Your description really affects how I hear this. Very good.
Add a couple of harmonies and you have a Byrds classic. (That last comment..."That's fum," was a comment on The RPM Hooker..)

strong, excellent
wow, what a cool collab. the 3 musicians and instrument sounds mix well. I would crash into this late night show any day of the week
complex pattern and really good timing. Great percussion track S to F
have to agree with launched, good song-crafting here. catchy
oh my, What a great opener... juicy middle section and cool vocals - nice one guys
This is a great tune. clean and complete
polyrhythms, thanks for explaining that - Tasty percussion. Also, Vaisvil does a great job playing along this groove
F*ckin great song, Just gets better as it moves along...needs volume
2nd listen. Cool collab, vox keeps reminding me of John Hall ( king missile)
Fantastic. Fav.
This has all the ear tags of a great heavy metal song. I like the march feel of the guitar riff throughout and the drums in the back
Tasty ! Sort of reminds me of the endless summer days at Dead concerts. Very good gents.!
Oh ya man, great track. Agree with savage that crunchy syth really hooks it. Almost Beck-ish
cool song, like the subtle transitions
wow, cool track I like this one.. still pondering just how deep the variety of your stuff is. . Is there a genre yet unturned?????
Downloaded at 18 secs. Just like the first Doors cover I heard from you, its unique enough to almost not be a cover at all - I like that.
This is a cool song, I like the vox and the voice rolls in the background too
Welcome to AT, Laid back ambient track. This one does have a feeling of enormity. I get the feeling this track could go on beyond 530 ?:??
This is a great song to cover. Im pretty sure I heard a beer open near the end of the song.!
Has an opening flavor of Nick Drake. Great song. Sweet collab
