the ONLY thing that could make this better would be the electronic sounds coming from BOTH speakers. My left ear is absolutely loving it though! This is awesone good work!
There's this moment at 4:35 when euverything started making sense. And then at like 4:41 I was fully on-board! At first I thought the electronic additions were somewhat obtuse, but the electronic tones that were offered after like 4:50 were colourful and clear in tone, and not overly cluttered. Thank you for sharing this, I would be interested also in hearing the remix version. Cheers!
Bravo! Captivating performance. Two thoughts though:. One would adding compression to the marimba audio help it lay better with the electronic composition? And the second thought is I wonder how working with an electric marimba (electric vibraphone) would do as accompaniment to the elctrono beats... Well as it sits right now, the piece is truly a work of art!
How difficult was it to learn the piece alongside the backtrack? Did you learn it in sections with the back track or did you add the back track in at the end of you actually learning the piece?
Hi Tyler. I learned the piece without the track as I would any other marimba solo (slow, metronome, etc). When I felt good about playing the piece at tempo without the track, I added it. With the click track, it wasn't incredibly different for me from the metronome practice I had already been doing. Thanks for watching!
+Jacob Byrd They are an old pair of Mike Balter Model 3 marimba mallets (not sure they still make this model..) that I taped to Blasticks. Thanks for watching!
Dear Justin, you made an amazing presentation. Congratulations!! I am interested in interpreting this piece in my percussion test soon, there would be a possibility that you could sell me the score and the electronic audio by means of PDF and MP3. I say goodbye wishing you a good day and waiting for your early reply. Greetings. Ricardo Carrillo.
Hi Ricardo! The piece is available for purchase on Ivan's website ivandrums.com/solos/electric-thoughts/ and some percussion retailers that sell sheet music. Enjoy!

cant wait to attempt to learn this for my WSMA state honors audition aswell as for Solo and Ensemble
Cool interaction of marimba and recording. :) Graceful, controlled execution, nicely done.
Go United!
Really enjoyed your performance! I love Ivan Trevino's writing, and you definitely brought it to life. Well done.
+Ethan Hight Thanks for the kind words! And thanks for watching!

Do electric thoughts dream of sheep?

Justin Bunting Thank you very much! I'm learning this piece myself and so that amount of advice is really helpful!
What were the purple mallets?
Looks like a normal mallet with plastic brushes taped to it
what kind of mallets r the ones that he was doing doubles on...

Ok. tank you very much!! I will be check!!
What microphones were used to record this?
It was just a Zoom H2 on a tripod right next to the video recorder. So maybe 4ft high and 10ft or so in front of the marimba!
scheiss stuck!
