I hope Norm will forgive me for what I did to his excellent percussion track.
I bought a used Alesis mixer today from guitar center and had to try it out, of course. So I laid down 4 tracks of 12 string guitar - including…

In 2006 we visited a Japanese garden. In September of 2009 I wrote this piano piece in 17 ET and I hear a connection between the two. So I put together a video from pictures and video taken of our visit and married the two. Please visit the song…

As someone who's only accustomed to the western tuning system (shows my ignorance that I don't even know what it's called), this was very different and very striking.
How are you going about getting the different tunings? Are you tuning an acoustic instrument or doing this via a plugin?

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…
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.

This spooky track utilizes the "Paulstretch" program to stretch recordings of gongs, chimes and bells to 8.04 times their native length: no other effects were made to these acoustic recordings other than to stretch them. The gongs utilized are…
Reg has been over to Songcrafters.org on the other side and found this little beauty a piece of music by Willi Wendon and he loved it so much he's put a vocal to it. Hope you like it Willie..........

Reg threw Norms 7th son in the Cellar tonight and it wasn't long before young Johny Cash had jumped all over it.................
Daddy didn’t love his 7th son

Reg took a collaboration from Chris Vaisvil, Norm and threw it into the cellar last night and this is what was returned through Regs door this morning...... a tale from the old wild west.........................
Poor old Reg he cant figure it out!! ........ since he's been listening to his self help tapes to stop drinking he has never got any money and he just doesn't understand it, he keeps working coming home relaxing to the tape........... then when…
This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…
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!
With all the highs in Regs life, it had to equal out and Reg has dropped like a stone ........he's broken.........he's had a breakdown.....Well let's face it. It had to happen he was just pushing himself too much. Hopefully he can carry on the…

I like it! Nice drum work here...
Woah, this is fabulous! Love the spinning guitar line and the intertwining melodies! Stirring and energising!
sounded good!
Ha! Who doesn't dream of Barbara Eden??
well well composed/played!!!! is this a midi or acoustic piano,,if midi what sort of synth and reverb are you using? i enjoyed this very very much R
Beautiful. I didn't need the video to see the coys lazily gliding around the pond.

Oh yeah... w;-)
Very lovely indeed.
Wow, beautiful!

Comments made by vaisvil
exquisite! The choral entrance is set up extremely well.
cool cover!!
this is what I'm talk about!! Rocking! So did your hands hurt hitting the metal?
nice work Richard!
Norm I really like it! Is there anyway I could you into sending me the TUBS for the main beat? I want to plagiarize it for a marimba part.
awesome! You are unleashing your inner Sonny Landreth!
whoa! The gong sounds HUGE!
excellent work - sad, sad blues.
wow you nail Elvis so well.
and I 2nd what Norm said - you have an amazing tonal control over your voice.
lovely
this just excellent - the production has great clarity too!
this is an excellent collaboration!
Thanks for doing this!!
hehe! excellent!
sounds like early Who - excellent!!
or the seventh son of a seventh son! My bass is looking at me :-)
I'm hating it too. Its just an infection I think. Nothing personal ;-)
great track - and yet another side to your voice.
this is a great idea well executed!
