"Deborah's Theme" by Ennio Morricone. A beautiful theme from the movie "Once Upon A Time In America". This is an arrangement that I wrote for my upcoming book Pedaling and Dampening for the Vibraphone. I loved the theme when I heard it and so many others of the great composer. The piece involves a variety of dampening techniques that will be covered in the book including slide dampening, hand dampening and pivot dampening. Much of the exercises, etudes and pieces are written and I just started to chip away at the text. Fun but challenging stuff.

I restructured my website bilingually and started a new "Do It Yourself" - section.
A first DIY tutorial is creating pickups for mallet instruments.

Good luck!

Hi vibes lovers,
today i'd like to talk about a way of thinking the keyboard that completely change my perception of the instrument.
Thanks a lot for watching and remember to follow me on Facebook Instagram and Youtube!

"A Place in Time" - solo vibraphone version of a new song inspired by two of my favorite composers - Ennio Morricone who wrote the theme for the movie "Cinema Paradiso" and Luis Bacalov who wrote the theme for "Il Postino". The song has some unexpected harmonic twists and was a bit of a challenge to pull off in terms of keeping it consistent and maintaining the mood of the piece.
