Marimba

I'm very particular about the recording and sound. I'm a novice at best for working Logic Pro and final cut but I do know that if I don't control the ricocheting acoustic sounds flying around the room, I'll be frustrated from the start.

In the past, I built expensive baffles and they worked okay but were very difficult to build and even more difficult to move if I want to take them to a new residence or even just move them to a different spot. If you move, you simply fold them up or use them as padding for furniture (win/win).

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a beat to hell M55 that I can buy to tinker with and make better than it was when it came off the assembly line. I will then resell it with some very nice updates and features. Please keep your eyes open for me. PH. 972-762-2638 PIPERvibe@Gmail.com

Marimba variations on Henry Mancini's "Moon River". Some spur of the moment improv on this classic song. I enjoy the orchestration potential, expansive range and varied colors of the marimba.

"Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? - dedicated to the late great pianist and music educator Ellis Marsalis. Having fun playing some traditional jazz on the marimba and hats.

Recently purchased the Late Night mallets which arrived today. The heads are larger than I expected, which makes them a tad unwieldy, but used them for a while and I think I'll get used to them. Its sure nice to play my vibes with the resonators on in my apartment and not worry about volume. Btw; they sound amazing on suspended cymbal! These will be my go to mallets for orchestral cymbal work. No impact; just the sound of the swell. I'm sure they'll sound nice on low end marimba too.

A short interactive program you can use to rearrange voices in a chord so they follow Tony's Open/Closed Voicings exercise.
