Hey Everyone,
There's a hard-copy magazine down here in Hilton Head called Local Life. It's a beautiful glossy monthly that is widely read. In the April issue there is an article on me by writer Carolyn Males. Carolyn went above and beyond to learn about the vibraphone before interviewing me and she showed her in-depth understanding in writing it. She came from a musical family but the vibes were totally new to her. It was her idea to include photos of Lionel Hampton and the instrument, which makes it well-rounded.

This improvisation is inspired by some of the grooves I explore on the African balafon (log xylophone) using 4 mallets. It’s all about freedom and energy, flow without measure, and getting to the “no mind.”

Just recorded this at home as preparation for our latest duo album. Martina Barta is a dream singer to play with. She listens, waits, takes the lead and sings in tune. Her voice has myriad colors that all fit well with the vibraphone. Accompanying a vocalist is not so easy. What I've learned is not to over play and to leave space.

Did you know you can purchase old iphones to use for your camera set up?

I shared my ideas for sound control using shipping blankets at less than 10 bucks per blanket in a previous VW post and now I'm upgrading my studio with curtain sheers draped over the blankets for a more finished look ($20.00 per 96" x 60" panel). I'm still waiting for the rest of the sheers to arrive.
