Like most people, I imagine, I have been working a lot on my solo vibraphone playing. I also finally got some decent recording equipment. This is my first attempt to test it out and hone my arrangements of these two great tunes. Feedback on both my playing and audio appreciated.

Here is my run through on Chi Chi. I could probably keep practicing this for the rest of my life, but thought I'd give a progress report and keep moving.

Other things I'm working on with Tony:

This is a good one!!

Thanks to David Patrois. One of his students told me he does this.

I have played 12 tone rows before but never like this. Making one up, and playing in all the keys.

Very cool lifetime exercise!

here is my 12 tone row:
F C G# B G F# D Bb C# E Eb A

i just made it in some quasi random way in Sibelius.

Thanks to BarryK for finding this!

The new www.PIPERvibe.com website is open! Gel Pad, M55 Upgrade, accessories for the vibraphone.

Since I will not be able to build more frames in the long run for private reasons, I decided to publish my construction data.
As a first step, I have published on the linked page all documents and model data to build a very stable folding frame from aluminum T-profiles, suitable for Deagan 584 Nocturne bars.

As I have time, I will post corresponding data for a Musser M55 bar set.

Love this great tune by Joe Henderson, so this is my first time I think posting a video. All comments welcome

Bar Posts and Damper pad.
