 | | This duet for vibraphone and piano is a wonderful training piece for jazz improvisation with the intermediate four-mallet vibraphonist. | | | The work follows a true duet format with vibraphone and piano playing the thematic material together and separately by use of piano and/or vibraphone interludes. | | | A solo section with chord changes is included allowing the player to improvise a solo of any length." In addition a companion tape is included with the work, which provides a performance on side one and the piano part with a click track on side two. |

| | Oscillator Bank resynthesis question |
| | The melody, which is somewhat obscured by the vibrating timbre of the gender vibraphone itself, functions as a continuation of the melodic textures of voices and balungan instruments that came before, while at the same time referring back to the timbres of the beginning section. | | | This timbre is foreshadowed by the striking of the gender vibraphone, and also by the beating patterns this instrument creates -- both acoustically and mechanically. | | | The gender vibraphone used in this composition was built by the composer, and uses the slendro tuning system. |

| | Solo Vibraphone - Myths and Misconceptions |
| | Unaccompanied vibraphone performance is not only valuable in its own right, but even those players who have no wish to perform solo, will reap benefits when performing with a full rhythm section, if they take even a little bit of time to try solo playing (if only in the practice room). | | | Perhaps one song uses only a bit of reverb, while the next song uses chorus, and the next uses delay and echo. | | | Not necessarily playing the original melody of the song being performed (although that's fair game as well), but playing and improvising music with strong melodic integrity. |

| | Randy Weston, Spectrum April 1999 |
| | Though he says that playing the vibraphone with a group instead of as a solo instrument is a challenging experience, because the vibraphone "complicates" the percussion dynamic when played alongside the piano, Lake agrees that playing the vibraphone with the Jazz Band "is fun." | | | A member of the Harvard University Jazz Band, under the direction of Tom Everett, Lake is the first vibraphone player that the band has ever had. | | | Eschewing orchestral percussion for the time being, he instead began to teach himself to improvise jazz on the xylophone. |

| | The idea of the album is to feature the sound of the vibraphone and to showcase the vibes in different settings to usual. | | | Unfortunately I no longer have any copies of the first Vibraphonic album (called "Vibraphonic"). | | | Just to remind you (as the info has been on the site for a while now) although it features the quintet, we only all play together on one track. |

| | A challenging jazz waltz which can be performed on either vibraphone or marimba. | | | Challenging collection of solos for vibraphone, combining contemporary performance techniques with rich harmonic and melodic content. | | | From a technical standpoint, the titles in this collection require four mallets and also employ contemporary techniques such as mallet dampening and "dead strokes." From a listener's standpoint, the rich melodies and harmonic materials of these "tangos" should be readily received! |

| | A lot of people think, 'oh it's just a vibraphone; all you do is hit the note!' That's not a concept born of the Burton school of thought. | | | Licensing his arduously-produced vibraphone design to Musser, Piper could finally get back to the business of making music. | | | You have to become a member of that audience in order to hear what your instrument sounds like 'out there.' You have to be listening for those things that are ringing, that you might think you're not responsible for, but you really are! |

| | The vibraphone (in jazz generally abbreviated as "vibes," and sometimes called a vibraharp as well) is what musicologists call a "bar percussion metallophone"--an instrument whose sound is produced by striking metal bars, in this case with rubber mallets. | | | The characteristic chime-like sound of the vibraphone is produced by long metal tubes, mounted below the bars and descending vertically, in which the sound resonates after the bars are struck. | | | At the tops of those tubes are metal discs that rotate when a small electric motor attached to the instrument is switched on. |

| | Vibraphone yields pleasing work |
| | This richly textured work's sonic palette is wonderfully varied — glassy bowed notes, the metallic buzzing of a hard mallet held lightly against a vibrating bar, subtle variations in the release of the sound envelope, all serving a larger musical purpose. | | | Sticking most pleasurably in the memory was a virtuosic piece for solo vibraphone by Christopher Deane, who teaches at the University of North Texas. | | | Deane's "Mourning Dove Sonnet" grows from the song of a mourning dove, transcribed note-for-note, with even the bird's microtonal pitch inflections reproduced by means of enterprising extensions of vibraphone technique. |
