Here is an alternate version of a solo marimba interpretation of my composition Life's Blessing. The lead sheet can be viewed and downloaded in PDF format from my website. Here's the link: http://www.edsaindon.com/documents/Lifes_Blessing.pdf

This clip was videotaped in the Percussion Department at Berklee. Mallets are my signature model from Vic Firth and the marimba is a Marimba One owned by marimbist Eriko Daimo.

Hey guys, here's a solo marimba clip of me playing my composition Life's Blessing. Tony and I had recorded some videoclips of that tune in the past as a project. The lead sheet can be viewed and downloaded in PDF format from my website. Here's the link: http://www.edsaindon.com/documents/Lifes_Blessing.pdf

I just listened to Tony's excellent post on bringing the four mallets into play when soloing. This clip sort of applies to that topic.

This is a short etude I recently wrote aimed at improving my single hand dampening. Listen out for the continuous C5 under the moving harmonies..

Hey guys,

I got some more video that someone shot at my last trio gig, and was able to marry it with a clip I took with my phone for a slick "two-camera" production. Ha ha, pretty neat.... but what's crazy is that in low light, the iPhone video looks almost as good as the stuff from his two-thousand dollar DV camera.

Thanks to all for the nice comments on the last one, hope u enjoy!

My interpretation on solo marimba of Eric Clapton's deep and powerful song Tears In Heaven. Clapton's version on his Unplugged recording is very special. Also, there is a beautiful verson by Kenny Werner on his recording Form and Fantasy.

A new solo marimba clip of Ennio Morricone's Love Theme from the movie Cinema Paradiso. A beautiful melody from Morricone. I first heard this song from a fantastic recording of Joe Locke that features movie themes. Every track is a gem on the CD. On this clip, I play the theme and improvise a bit while periodically weaving in the theme of the composition.

Very Interesting speech and very nice music (as usual with Gary !).

This free improve video is from a concert I did in October at UD with The Real Vocal String Quartet, a great group from the SF area. This was totally unrehearsed. I'll post some tunes I did with them later.

Hi VW friends,

Here is a gig video I shot by putting my iPhone next to me during the set. See what you think of this mash-up of Duke & Paul, two of my favorites.

(ps. someone else shot some good video of this gig, so maybe I will get some more to post in the future...)
