“I’m Old Fashioned” - solo vibraphone version of one of my favorite standards from Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer. I'm focusing here on utilizing the entire range of the instrument with a variety of solo vibraphone concepts that incorporate all four mallets. Some of the techniques include the use of counterpoint, various left hand accompaniment techniques, double stops (octaves, 6ths, 3rds) and four mallet voicings. These solo vibraphone concepts/techniques and more will be showcased via examples on standards as part of my solo vibraphone book project that I'm working on.

hey all,

this is a trailer of the project i worked for in the past time...i already posted some of the tunes here on the site.

it´s a narration with live video and music performance, which was performed now several times in the main theater in bochum germany,

i´m sorry but the story is in german only but maybe you get an insight.

hope you like it

I think these frames might really change the way our instruments look. Especially for busy players in cities! I played these frames and they are incredible. Malletech is planning on making some of these frames.

What do you think? Do you want one?

I like his playing! I like his sound also. I like the percussion sound of sticks. Some sticks are too soft for my taste.

and he's playing with 4 mallets :-)

Great photo of a young Gary Burton. I love looking at photos like this and thinking where in history is this, since now his history is a timeline that's set. Get it?

Matthieu Daudos is a French vibraphone player and a friend. We play together both marimba and vibraphone in the New Jazz Band Project which is a septet of percussion instruments based on Bordeaux area.
