Hey,
I worked a while on september song by Kurt Weill.
I hope you like my simple tune.
Greetings,
Stefan.
Help! I'm trying to figure out how to get good sound on video. Please skip the mic placement advice, I know about that. This is worse than that. I need help with equipment and programs. I have Macbook, Garage Band, good mics, 2-channel Focusrite digital interphase that I'm using. I just go directly from the headphone jack of the interface to the mic jack of the canon camera. I tried using Garage Band and Imovie but I had a delay problem/sync between the video and audio. How can I learn this?
Just saw that guitarist Jim Hall passed away. Very sad. A master guitarist that played with musicality, subtlety, nuance, taste, understatement, clarity,...the list goes on. Many guitarists revered Jim Hall. I would like to add that although I didn't know Jim, he seemed like a real gentleman and beautiful person. Gary, maybe we could get your thoughts about Jim since you knew him and recorded with him? Thanks, Ed
Hi Everyone,
Hard to believe but I've just recorded my January show for the new year! As always, I've lined up some great vibes players and their music for you to hear. I know I am preaching to the choir...what a fun choir it is.
Much thanks to Roger Clerc for sending me this video at Pasic 2013 Mallettech booth. Tony and I didnt get a chance to get a photo in together, thankfully Roger took a short video of the Omega Vibraphone and Tony Demostrating some of the features.
I downloaded this tune from Christos' lesson. I had never heard it before. I was sitting at the piano reading it down and was captivated by it. Such a beautiful song. I'm playing it here just trying to be true to the melody and adding some simple accompaniment/counterpoint. The tune plays itself. Thanks Christos! Ed
Hello mallet folks - this pertains to any German vibists out there.
I am playing a duo concert with Brad Shepik on Jan. 18, 2014 in Passau and I am in desperate need of a vibraphone for the show. Any info/leads are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Bela Fleck traveled to Africa to make a film and perform with local musicians. This excerpt features a giant marimba. The resonating chamber is a hole dug in the ground. The enormous hand carved bars a placed over the hole. I've never seen anything like it!
