This is me and my daughter having fun with overdubs. We each sang 2 or 3 times on top of each other to get the chorus effect that you hear. I think back to the days where I used to have a couple of cassette decks and a mixer to do…
This shows the leg frame that I've put on my personal instrument. You'll notice that there are no casters and a lighter-weight leg frame than the piper vibe. I changed my Piper vibe over to this so that I didn't have that extra weight,…
I am by no means a composer but I have decided that I should start getting into composing a little more. This is a run through of a tune I am working on. I would really be interested in hearing your feedback before I try to finalize my…
Hi Workshoppers,
Just stopping by to say Happy Holidays to all!
I haven't been around for a while for numerous reasons - mostly just really busy. Unfortunately, none of it has involved playing the vibes. It seems that every day, it is…
Hi all!
At a period when the kitchen will soon be a very important and full room, I found this fun video on Youtube: students of Danish vibist Martin Fabricius playing "Wok Amok", said Martin: "A piece of mine written in 2000 for 2 chefs…
Here's a Sneak Peak from our next Monkadelphia CD. I love this tune, Crepiscule with Nelli. It's a great to play also. Sometimes we solo on the tune, but not this time.
I spent a few days with James Whiting, definitely an up and coming vibe player. James is a hard worker and picks up things fast! We had 2 great lessons here in Philadelphia, and he was at the vibe hang today also.
I asked James to play…
They were a little shy, but check out the Curtis Students! I did you my end of semester workshops with them and they rocked!
They have such a great attitude, and are great musicians. Today they were reading down the tune summertime and…
Finals are this week. The final is to play a clear simple solo over St. Thomas in several keys and play it solo. Harder than it looks.
Then I hung out with James and talked about quarter notes.
Then I did a lesson on quarter notes, based…
Phew, it doesn't end. The semester is over which is great and I should be chilling for a few days, but Sharon's grandfather is 101 years old and we have to head to Texas and clean out his house which is sold monday. So I thought I'd get a…
Here's some ideas to get started categorizing your material when your just starting out to play vibes:
1. Technique / Theory
A: Study the major scales and arpeggios(triads, 6th chords and 7th chords)
B: Study the dorian mode and minor 7…
This is something completely different.
I imagine some or many of you won't like it, but I want to tell you about it and the process.
I love it, it's a group called Symbiosis and we just get together with our synths and play free…
Hi all!
I've been working on What A Difference A Day Made for quite a long time already - here is what came out - many flaws of course, but heck it's a practice tape and I am an amateur.
Critics welcome, cheers STE
I think I've told a couple of people that Pat Metheny is one of my favorite musicians/composers of all time. (I know its crazy). I just think his tunes lay really well with a percussion ensemble. I don't really want to sound like him,…
Hi All,
In Newsweek online, there's an article call "Jazz is Dead. Long Live Jazz" (see http://www.newsweek.com/id/226331). I'm not sure I can decode a coherent message from the article, but one of the comments seems to be about the…
Man we had a great vibe hang today! Great players and great music! It seemed like we had the whole world together. I counted France, Netherlands, Germany, USA, China and Australia. Pretty cool huh?
It's like we have this growing community…
Ok More Symbiosis. I just thought I'd post it for something different. It's definitely trippy music. All Electronic. The thing to remember is Steve Giordano, John Swana and Bob Meashey are all musicians with huge ears, so this is a cool…
HELLO EVERYBODY. I AM FINISH (FOR NOW) MY PRACTISE ON COMPING IN ALL KEYS AND I START 2-3 WEEKS AGO CHORD SOLO AND SIMPLE BEBOP LINES IN ALL KEYS IN DIFFERENT PROGRESSIONS. SO FOR MY PRACTISE IT CAME THIS LICK. I THINK SOLO IN ALL KEYS IS…
