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.
My Life has Become
I have all of these memories
That come on back to me
I don't know what to do
I don't know what I should do with them
Out of nowhere they cover me...
Like a breaking beam of light
Like the star dust in the night
Like…
I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…

Another oldie as I work on other stuff. State of the art PC sound in 1991 was the Adlib card with one OPL2 FM synthesis chip w/o audio capability. Limiting as that was I still had a lot of fun with it. This is one example - I love that lo-fi…

(Ha! Had to laugh as the 7 sec. mark of this one has that "squeak" sound that I have previously misinterpreted in other songs as being a squeaky bass drum foot pedal... what do I know about computer generated music?)

I think it is very smart that AT does not have a system of "ranking" or "rating" songs other than "favorite". Such a system, by it's very nature, is just going to hurt somebody's feelings.

Chris,, where to begin? perhaps it's best to just listen? beautifully relaxed playing, your touch here is "simple" and so full,,, (which to my way of thinking is the highest praise i can say, i think you'll understand),, 2nd listen,,,, i often consider the silence between the notes to be as beautiful/important as the notes themselves,, seems like that to me here..... i believe you have created a small master piece here,, well well done ps thanks for you listen and comments on WN,, i always appreciate them Richard

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…
This is a piano improvisation that mixes Pianoteq in Werckmeister III tuning with Cakewalk’s True Piano in 12 equal. What results is a soft phased piano sound. This skirts right on the edge of what can be considered microtonal. Some may well…

You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…

Most of you probably haven’t seen Reg dance, so I should explain it to you.
When Reg takes his “classic moves†to the dance floor everyone else steps aside to just watch – well, that is everyone except a few of the most self confident…
Reg was in the library reading back issues of the national papers to keep warm because a cold spell had hit the country hard and he had no money for heating. At least he could sit in the library reading until 5pm when it closed. Some strange stories…

My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

nope - those are chinese gongs - some just have natural phasing - I don't know how that works but there it is. Also, according to the gong samples I have you can get a large number of different sounds depending how they are struck. Heck, I forgot, Norm has a gong - a pretty big one too - I bet he could make you some custom gong samples if you'd like.
I did this in order to stretch it out about 20 times as long as it is and did just that but or should I say because I used a very low sample size for the sound I would get something similar to echo stretches just like a 2k size of sample in paulstretch…

Enjoyed the jazzy feel given by the sax. Super cool collab.
A really good song.
Nice Jam! One can almost imagine this all happening at one time
Pure and True, Awesome power through your finger tip's..and deeply deep... Makes me feel like I need to find myself somewhere that I've never ben...

Cleverness as usual.
Trolls ate traxinspace?! That's sad. Intriguing piece!
Absolutely beautiful!
Ah, the good 'ol days of TraxInSpace... this was a classic there!
!!! beautious.
wow! that was breath taking deep!
I like your music very much - it's dramatic and compelling!

Piepod Thought provoking, yet relaxing.... LG
Oh I LOVE the pic! Cool 70s vibe! That vocal is spot on!
Tear-jerking...not sure why. My daughters are growing up. It's MY growing pain. Love it when the woodwind kicks in at 2 mins.
Scorching strings!
There's definitely a story behind this piece, would like to see some modern dance translating it.
Like the first few flickers of a new fire.

Thanks for the listens and comments! for everything synth and DAW the first place to stop is http://www.kvraudio.com/

great!! How do you get your voice like that?
this is lovely contemplative and serene.
My Debbie is very picky and loves this piece! She says "its sounds very pretty!"
this is lovely - sounds Anthony Phillips

this one is less defined some how
ooo 0:16 - like the electric guitar feedback sound! you are getting a lot of great textures!
some Janis Joplin or Joe Cocker vocals would really finish this one off!
the video gives the impression of galactic nebula super imposed on visceral human organic residues - this is a really unique video Bill.
much more effective with the video and stretch! this looks so cool!!
