Kinda Boring Malletkat Composing Video

Welp-- tried a few takes of piano on the Malletkat and then threw on some bass and vibes.
Not happy with it-- but got to test out a two cam workflow. Resolve is pretty slow on my computer..
Might switch to something less frustrating.

Didn't mix or anything-- just played and called it good. The Play patches sound good!! Software control is good with the Malletkat-- less success on a Roland Integra..

kk that's all!

To The Tune of Ain't Misbehavin

No one to talk with ....all by myself...
No one to walk with...not riskin nobody's health
Corona Virus...keepin away from you

I don't stay out late...where could I go
Not such a hot date... just beer and a TV show
Corona Virus....keepin away from you....

I'm a hermit ...with no permit....
To leave my cave ... freedom I crave
But your health ... keeps me stayin away .. to..day

DIY Soundproofing?

Being home 24/7, I'm thinking about additional ways to keep from driving my neighbors and roommate nuts with all my noise (not just vibes..I also loudly practice singing kid songs for one of my jobs). Anyone have any DIY soundproofing ideas without spending a lot of money? Here's what I have so far:

-Malletech Late Nite vibe mallets (these have been soooo clutch!)
-A rug under my vibes
-Curtains, sheets, and tapestries on the walls (including a blackout curtain)

What do you do to soundproof your space?

South Pole Bound

Sitting here in the fire house - McMurdo Station, Antarctica with fingers crossed that our plane (LC 130) gets fixed in time to leave for the south pole tonight at 23:00 (in about 3 hours from now). Just amazing. Anxious, excited, very tired from an earlier call today. Working all day and now it looks like we just might be leaving for the very bottom of the Earth. My first trip to the Pole. What will it be like? My Antarctic Vibraphone is already there, waiting for me.
