My guitarist friend Bernard and I are preparing our little annual gig... of next Thursday: Arrghhh!!! We're so nervous and really needed more practice! So today we did a long session and recorded to keep something "suitable" and generate a good motivation for the live versions of next week!

This one has no vibes: I sometimes enjoy concentrate only on the voice, my first instrument!

I only do the melody on vibes and complete with voice. Enjoy.

I Knew it! We Are Cool!

my girlfriend thinks i´m totally crazy but i´m a little bit proud :)

it took some time and research to put the malletkat up like this above the vibes. in the end it´s an keyboard stand expansion for 19€. i think it´s the best setup to play both instrument like i want to do in some situations. but dealing all the footswitches and playing both instrument at the same time needs alot of practice...

Hey,

What I'm posting here, is an improvisation I've been using for the last months simply to warm myself up, before actually doing lessons, or studying things. I'm a bit done with it, so as a closure, so to say, I'll post one.

It all began with the tune 'I'm still here' from Tom Waits in my head. (O yeah, I'm a huge Waits fan, so it's not the last time you'll hear me talking of him.) For those who don't know this song, here is a link.

I'm still here

I wanted to announce the release of my new CD - Memories of Brazil. The CD reflects back on the years that I spent in Rio de Janeiro as a member of the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra (Orquestra Sinfonica Brasileira). It features wonderful music written by the Brazilian composer Ney Rosauro - including a new two part work written especially for the occasion. The focus is on vibraphone with some solo pieces as well as some duets with guitar, voice and piano.

Surely some of you remember our 'endless' blues from our online vibe hangs. I remember that the last one in Amsterdam (february) lasted around 35 mn! Haha!

This is the 'west coast' version of this type of 'good vibes shared' performance from last Sunday Vibe Summit... and of course it's on 'Soul Sauce'... Guachi Guaro!

- M

ps: 'only' some 15 mn! C'mon! (I love the end!)
