Hey,

this is the first song of a new project that i am doing right now. i´m planning to do a studio pop cd (sort of!) with different musicians i know. Everything is selfmade in my new studio and recorded by me. i got already about 5 songs together and every song will have also a video with it. i do this only for fun, to check out the possibilities of my new studio gear and to feature the vibraphone in a more pop context. even if it´s fun it´s really a lot of work to do...hope you like it! please tell me what you think!

I tuned in our local jazz station and heard one note of a vibist and knew exactly who it was, just by his tone.

I thought it would be fun to create some small snippets to see if you can guess the vibist, including some of our teachers. :-) Answers enclosed. Post the numbers of the ones you guessed correctly.

Have fun,

Barry

Update: Files Vibist 01 to 13 are very short. Per request, I added a few more snippets, about 10 seconds each, 14 to 20; some are repeat vibists and some are new.

Here's one of my new composition dedicated to the memory of the great pianist Bill Evans!!!
if somebody is interested in having a look at the lead sheet let me know!!!

Hello everyone, if anyone is interested in writing an article related to the vibraphone for the Percussive Arts Society magazine Percussive Notes that would be great. Possible topics: dampening technique; four mallet techniques and exercises, theory related articles on improv concepts, voicings or harmony; concepts and approaches to comping; ideas on classical interpretation say from the Bach Sonatas and Partitas; a transcribed solo with accompanying analysis. These are only a few of many possible topics. Including specific music examples (written in Finale) in the article is preferred.

Happy Birthday Tony!!!

At least in Europe it already is your birthday Tony!

And on your birthday I got the keys to my new house for my family.

A lot has happened and I see all kinds of great stuff happening here!! Hope all you guys and gals are doing well!?

I'm looking forward to catching up!

Here's my mic set up. You can see the specially designed plexiglass PZM boundary I had made many years ago. It's shaped in a stereo configuration. I really like the concept of PZM. Here's what I know about it. I think the "PZM" (pressure zone microphone) was discovered in the 1980s. You can research it but I got my information from crown engineers. Crown owned the patent or patent rights. I'm writing from memory so it may not be completely accurate. The way I understand it, the "pressure zone" was discovered in the '80's. Here's how it was explained to me.

Hey all,
I haven't been around here for a while. I know I know, no dessert for me.

I worked on a chapter in Jon Metzger's book called digital riffs.

At the end of each chapter there is a list of some tunes where you can aply the technique. I tried it on Blue Bossa.
I got the playalong track from www.learnjazzstandards.com.

I'm not really happy with the result. You can hear I'm not used to playing with others (even if it is on tape)

Hi,
this is another little clip I recorded today.
Sorry for the fuzziness here and there but I am still not that familiar with the handling of my new cam...
Have fun with it!
Regards
