Well, Dana beat me to it, but I did my version differently, so it's okay. I was teaching in a room with a beautiful Malletech marimba today (and no vibes). I had a no-show student, so I used the time to record this as a marimba piece. I think it sounds nice this way as well. The recording is a little noisy because it's my laptop mic.
Ok. I tried to have some fun with this one. I set up two tracks on Ableton. One was for the solo loop the other was recording my take. I also set up a start record pedal and a stop loop pedal for the loop track. Then I started recording the take with metronome in the earphones. When I got to the solo section I looped a 6 bar phrase to solo over. I added the effects in post but the recording was all first take on my acoustic vibe through mics.
Sorry, there are many mistakes reading the etude (which rocks BTW!!! thx Tony!)
Guys,
I've been given this link by my guitarist friend Bernard after I shared the recent Clark Terry vid... This French band is too good!! FYI, on xylphone vibist Jean-Miche Davis. (pass it on! :o)
Enjoy!

I'm here working on some forms I have to fill out and have Pandora playing a John Adams Station I made. All of sudden this marimba comes on and it's beautiful and articulate and stops me dead in my tracks. It's Evelyn Glennie and I just go WTF.
She plays great. How does she do it? What is she hearing? I hear her talk about it, but sometimes I go yeah right. But man she can play.
A true legend!
We will get together in the morning at about 9:30 until 12, then about 1 until 3 or 4.
We can probably work out practicing in the evening with John.
We'll have a bass player I think every day.
The catch is this: My plane comes in Sunday at noon. So let's plan on the workshop starting at 3, and then we'll do an evening workshop on Sunday. Cool? The rest of the time we'll start in the morning.
