I am working on converting my vibes into a MIDI controller. So far I wired up 8 Piezo pickups (white notes from B to B) for a proof of concept. My motivation is to be able to notate things that I play (e.g., transcriptions). As a side-effect, I can also layer other sounds on top of the vibes, e.g., strings.
My take on a timeless jam session anthem.
Chopin's music is so dense. A brilliant balance of technicality and emotion is conveyed on everything he wrote. Every time i play this piece I see a new way that the lines connect, in the spiderweb of arpeggios and linear passages. The tempo here is faster than I usually play it (66 bpm, rather than 55-60).
Working on the promotion of these brand new publications of 'Mallet Ensemlbe' music.
I arranged/composed these 6 pieces through a commission from 'Zeltsman Marimba Festival' (ZMF) in 2013. They are written for two shared marimbas and a vibraphone (5 performers).
They got published by MRL MUSIC and they are available at

Hey Guys,
I'm thinking of selling my pair of AMT vibe mics. These are the best small footprint mics for the vibes, without question. I had them for a few years, but simply don't use them much. Drop me a note if you're interested.

Playing the classic Disney song with a nod to the great pianist Art Tatum.
Revisiting "Country", a beautiful composition written by Keith Jarrett. It's an AABB form composition. This clip features three separate renditions of the melody chorus.
I remember seeing Keith play this solo piano on SNL in the 70s. It was amazing seeing him play solo piano on prime time commercial television. Country is also one of the tracks on Keith's great recording "My Song" featuring Keith and his European quartet (Jan Garbarek, Palle Danielson and Jon Christenson). It's one of my favorite recordings.
