Hello everyone,
Here is a video of a piece that I directed last semester. It's one of the great pieces for String Quartet, you can see the magic of it at 3:40.
Hope you like!
I'm reading Marc Levin's book on theory and then also his one on voicings. He's a pretty hip cat! Here's a quote from his book:
Scales are the alphabet, not poetry, of music. You need to know the alphabet, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and so on before you can write words, sentences, and ultimately poetry.
Marie has been working on our online books and they are getting organized. You'll see above V-Books, that's where they are. The thing about the books part of the site is that it stays the same. The content doesn't flow like the rest of the site. So things should be in the same place all the time.
@Marie - anything to add?
Hey guys, here's one we just taped last week at Berklee. It's an old classic that works great with the four to the bar feel. I recorded this song on my recording Swing On The Sunny Side with the great Herb Pomeroy. Herb's solo on that track is simply beautiful. This clip is also my nod to the great pianist Dave McKenna. If you haven't checked out Dave, I suggest you should. He has a lot of solo recordings out on the Concord Jazz label as well as some nice clips up on YouTube. Happy Holidays everyone! Ed
Here is an alternate version of a solo marimba interpretation of my composition Life's Blessing. The lead sheet can be viewed and downloaded in PDF format from my website. Here's the link: http://www.edsaindon.com/documents/Lifes_Blessing.pdf
This clip was videotaped in the Percussion Department at Berklee. Mallets are my signature model from Vic Firth and the marimba is a Marimba One owned by marimbist Eriko Daimo.
Hey guys, here's a solo marimba clip of me playing my composition Life's Blessing. Tony and I had recorded some videoclips of that tune in the past as a project. The lead sheet can be viewed and downloaded in PDF format from my website. Here's the link: http://www.edsaindon.com/documents/Lifes_Blessing.pdf
I just listened to Tony's excellent post on bringing the four mallets into play when soloing. This clip sort of applies to that topic.
