This is an AWESOME piece. Good fodder for advanced geography/space sharing between the hands on vibraphone. Also stabilizing repeated tones while surrounding tones change, and avoiding anticipatory "static" in the motion (ie. a hand tries to leave early and you miss a note).

I struggle when I practice! It sucks striving for perfection and never achieving it. I guess I just look for better. However I think the end goal is perfection. It is a nice goal that none of us will ever reach, but some seem to get pretty close.

I realize how much of this is about focus. That's at least 95% of the battle.

Hi all,

Here is an original song from the album with thanks to Gary Burton for the inspiration and for blazing the trail for us.

Cheers Kym

Sitting here in the fire house - McMurdo Station, Antarctica with fingers crossed that our plane (LC 130) gets fixed in time to leave for the south pole tonight at 23:00 (in about 3 hours from now). Just amazing. Anxious, excited, very tired from an earlier call today. Working all day and now it looks like we just might be leaving for the very bottom of the Earth. My first trip to the Pole. What will it be like? My Antarctic Vibraphone is already there, waiting for me.
