This is important stuff. You know I think the Mallet Station might be a decent entry level controller, however as SOON as you get serious, It will not even hang a little bit with the MalletaKat, that's my take so far. But as an entry…

At one of the weekly vibe hangs I demonstrated my MIDI Vibes. Becky was curious about using an Arpeggiator. Mac MainStage 3 has a bunch of Arpeggiator instruments so I decided to try out a couple and do some free improv with them. Enjoy,…

This is a solo arrangement of I'll Remember of April that I have been working on. I posted it in the group thread, but it kind of got lost in the shuffle, so I am reposting here. I find it more difficult than other tunes to play solo, so…

Reading on the vibraphone is not easy. I find it to be very difficult and for me, it is perhaps the most challenging part of playing. I've spent a ton of energy and time trying to improve my reading. I even wrote the book “Shapes and…

The idea of the MBraces was created WAY back in the 80's when I first started working on my M55 vibraphone for improvements. I discovered (with the use of two cymbal stands) that by placing two braces from near middle of the pedal rail to…

Here is a "video" that I made for the 2021 Valentines vibe hang. I am playing a couple of tunes on my MIDI-fied Vibraphone, "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel, and "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc. Tech: I am using two Arduinos (one for…

Rest in peace to one of my earliest and most profound inspirations! I attached a clip of one of my earliest performances on vibes (late high school). I played drums and piano long before this so I had harmonic and rhythmic vocabulary…

On an earlier post, I suggested an idea of creating Good Vibes at www.PIPERvibe.com by helping other artists. In my years working as a musician and then as a rescuer serving the population of many different types, I learned a lot about…
