I am really interested in finding out when the Mallettech Omega frame will be available without the bars or Vibrato system?
Mallettech does not seem to answer emails sent via their Mostly Marimba website.
Hey Folks,
I rarely do this, but just wanted to make a quick announcement that if you're in the NYC area tonight my Electric Project will be performing at Cornelia St. Cafe. This is a fun group where I play malletkat and synthesizers. I'll be joined by Sam Minaie on electric bass and Ari Hoenig on drums. One set at 8:30pm.

The band actually changed its name to Brasilia, but there were some videos posted here a while back of a live concert (Double Rainbow, Triste, etc) when the band was called Samba Jazz Syndicate. The recording features some beautiful Brazilian tunes like Cafe com Pao and Na IIha De Lia, No Barco De Rosa (On Lia's Island, In Rosa's Boat)…and great guitarist Bruno Mangueria. Also, a tune of mine (Fresh Biscuits) which is not Brazilian.
If interested below are links to iTunes and also my sound cloud that has some samples of the cd.
Best, Rusty

So I was just thinking...
This weekend Tony is organizing a Virtual Day of Percussion featuring the vibraphone. It sounds like it'll be great, but I think the real success will come from how many extra people we- the vibes community- get to participate. At the World Vibes Congress we talked about how important it is for us to promote this instrument, and the VDOP is a perfect opportunity to do that. Unfortunately I won't catch any of the VDOP because of another event, but I'm doing what I can to spread the word and get people to check it out. Here are some ideas:
Practicing solo vibraphone on Alone Together. Here is Take 3 out of three takes. This version has more of an emphasis on counterpoint and more active left hand accompaniment techniques.
Other Takes:
Take 1: This is a fairly brief two chorus version that includes right hand octaves along with left hand accompaniment and pedal point in the bridge of the 2nd chorus.
Check out my solo in All the things you are. Another great sunday today where we hang out with tony and other uarts students!
thanks

Hi All,
I welcome some new (to me) vibes players in the March show; Gary Shapiro (sorry it took me so long, Gary), Martin Fabricius, Ray Alexander, and Dave Hagedorn. Also, a musician who calls himself Mr. Ho but is in reality Brain O'Neill. Jay Hoggard opens with a soulful gospel tune that I just can't seem to get out of my head, "Worship God in Spirit, Truth and Love." What a beauty!
Jerry Tachoir is back with his new CD Stories, Dan Dean (g) and Tom Collier (v) play a Rolling Stones tune "What A Shame," Rusty Burge with a Monk tune, Hendrik Meurkens with Jobim and lots more.
