As promised... here is the second part of our little tour of crazy instruments.
So this time, Florian performing "Au Clair de la Lune", on what could be called a "Metalo-Elastic-Phone". Sorry that you will in fact hear more the children having fun around than the sound of the instrument! :o)
Enjoy,

I spent the night practicing pedaling and thinking about my discussion with Nicofarr. So I summed it up here. Some babbling but I think you'll get the idea.
I saw a handbell player this weekend at a local art fest. I saw she had mallets and asked for a demo. I didn't know that handbells could be played with mallets.
The thing that interested me was that they can ring out when they are laying down on the table. She showed me that under the cloth was a thick foam cushion. This allowed some ringing, but with some dampening to shorten the ring duration.

Here's Behn's First etude (of many I hope) for our site!
Right now I've posted a midi file, however, Behn is coming in soon to play it and talk about it. I'll replace the file when he records here.
This is a beautiful etude I think.
once in while i scan my pc for old files to delete. so i did today and found this practice video for the song nearness of you i recorded some time ago. i made nearly 10 takes of it. i watched this one and instead of deleting i liked it and thought to share it here. there is no theme because i just practiced the solo changes in a medium swing tempo.
Hey guys,
Here's a version of Jobim's How Insensitive. Thanks go to Gustavo for doing the editing of this concert footage.

In my town there is a special fiest for Children one week end per year. A giant firework on Friday night, all kinds of shows around the place, and in a park tons of games, sports, manual activities, actors in costums on stilts etc...
It's this week end a we are back from our little tour in the park. And there we saw a good dozen of amazing giant instruments, each one more nuts than its neighbour! (old saucepans as drums, weird huge wheel full of plastic bottle corks, other strange recycled percussions, etc...)
Hello VW,
