I put on a  C drone and did my best to improvise through the seven modes.

This is a performance of Friedman 13.

This is a piece that I wrote for an assignment in Tony Micelli’s private vibraphone lessons on vibesworkshop.com

I called it “He Laid upon the Ground” because I came up with the melody while I was laying in the floor of a practice room at USM.

You’ll have to forgive the hesitation close to the end, but otherwise, enjoy!

Many years ago I heard a recording of Joel M. Ross on Youtube where he had taped his mallets. I found the subtle noise when playing very interesting, but the mallets were always too expensive for me to ruin the winding with tape. 
With my mallet winding machine, I was able to take up the idea from back then again and made my first test mallet with a "striking sound".
The video contains a first quick & dirty test and describes how I made the mallet.

This is a newly published etude for Vibraphone by Joke van Dal-Kleijne.

It was very challenging, so it may be a good piece for more advanced players here on the site to work on.  It took me about four months to be able to get through a clean pass recording it.  I'm sure some of you can put it together quicker than that, but it's a challenge, no doubt... as a good etude should be.  You'll learn a lot about mallet positioning and sticking choices.  I did and I've been at this 45+ years.  :)

So, apparently, there are only three of these left in existence.   Just crossed my radar yesterday and, well… I’m amazed and curious.
