Working on some four mallet techniques while playing the classic Besame Mucho...
I recently had to change the felt damper strip on my M55. Over the years it had packed down pretty hard, making it less effective and even causing buzzing sounds when it made contact with some of the bars.
Something from the laboratory...see what u think!

Solo vibraphone rendition of Astor Piazzolla's beautiful composition Chiquilin De Bachin.
Just discovered him. Enjoy !
I wanted to say that David's new recording Weaving Through Motion is a fantastic recording. Masterful and creative playing with a gorgeous recording sound of the vibes and marimba. I downloaded it from Amazon. Highly recommended. Ed

Hello everyone. Last year at the World's Vibe Congress we discussed, among a multitude of other topics, how to create greater exposure for the vibraphone. One of the possibilities we discussed was creating new pieces and works which feature the vibraphone by skilled composers. Over the past 8 months my percussion trio, Portal Percussion, has been working with Colleen Clark, a musician & composer based in NYC, on creating a piece of music which embodies the spirit of the discussion last January.
What does the piece entail?
Exploring on solo vibraphone with a rubato version of Keith Jarrett's Coral. Focusing on motives, dampening and four mallet techniques.
