Finaly you're back with a post... and your brother! :o)
Man there are bars, keys and buttons all around you!! I'm sure this will please our member Tarik (Aka Vibraman) who recently got a mallet kat and gave us a few beautiful posts with both vibes and MK).
I love your "touch" and fluidity on vibes, and the arrangement with the MK!
Hope all is fine for you... please come back when ever you feel like!!
A bientôt,
Marie-Noëlle

What a cool band, Jean Baptiste. A great vibe feeling!
I was wondering what was that Frisell sound you play on the kat at the beginning.
keep posting, keep going!

Thanks a lot illya ,
yeah you're right on when you say Frisell ,that is someone I really like
for ambient sounds like this.(besides all the rest..)
the sound from the Kat is a combination of several things
as I tend to customize or make my own sounds for the Kat until I
get a sound that I like but that also has a feel when you hit the pads ,

In this instance there is a Lap Steel patch from Omnisphere that
I modified ,combined with some bowed piano samples that I also tweaked ,
(with a lowpass filter and also changed the amplitude envelope) all that
with a reverb from NI Reaktor ,"Space Master" that has a little bit that Ecm
reverb sound.I hope that helps.
I'll post some more soon.

I was a student at Berklee (1978) when Jean was also there along with his brother. Even back in the day, Jean was an outstanding vibes player! So glad to see and hear all of his progress over the years, still playing with his brother in such a tight and fun group. We all go down different paths in this thing called music, which always keeps it fresh, alive and exciting!
