Supporting vibes players with Good Vibes
https://www.pipervibe.com/post/good-vibes-pipervibe-dot-com
Looking for advice on a hand truck for moving a Omega vibe around town? Needs to securely hold frame, bars and resonators(in bags).
Thanks in advance!
Thank you for having coffee with me today at the Vibes Workshop Coffee Vibe Hang! I enjoyed telling some of my stories and appreciate you all for hanging out. I look forward to learning more about you and getting to know all of you better.
I think this is my last frame design. It now fulfills all my wishes and ideas. Besides the new, additional folding method, I am very happy that I managed to realize the twistable flaps in the frames without any restrictions on the folding versions.
It was a long development process until the twisting flaps also achieved good stability.
A corresponding flap version as a conversion kit for Musser M55 is in progress and close to completion.
On an earlier post, I suggested an idea of creating Good Vibes at www.PIPERvibe.com by helping other artists. In my years working as a musician and then as a rescuer serving the population of many different types, I learned a lot about myself and what I really enjoy doing. I learned that even when I was the "boss" over my fire crew in Antarctica, I loved to cook, clean, and serve them during down time. It creates good vibes for me while serving others. This translates also to goals in music.
A little background... a few weeks ago, I did the first of what will be a series of recordings/videotapings at Morningstar Studio, here in Philly. The owner/lead engineer is Glenn Barratt. He is a wonderful engineer and a virtual well of understanding about recording technique and hardware. You can visit his studio's website at https://www.morningstarstudios.com/
Malletech LN2R Mallet review - you should get some!
Since my wife and I first moved into the same Brooklyn loft apartment in 1993 I have either been blissfully ignorant or hyper-aware of the sound of my vibraphone practicing and how it affects the people around me. Luckily, for my wife and eldest son, I didn't play much music for about 8 years and consequently they didn't have to listen to it while they were trying to get their well deserved sleep at the end of the day.
Thanks to the COVID-19 outbreak, cancelled gigs, and lots of time on my hands, I settled into transcribing another Walt Dickerson solo. This one, like Bacon and Eggs, is over a very simple short form. It is all a waltz romp on C major.
I know he was a vibe player, but I can’t find recordings where he’s playing vibes!
Some of the older guys might know about him?
It's a beautiful composition by Jacques Ballue, the pianist of the 4tet I play with.
The guy broke his leg last week in a motorcycle accident. I wish him a prompt recovery by recording one of his tune. :o)
