    I am now in love with Ivan Trevino's writing. I love this duet, Catching Shadows, and 2+1. I really want to start learning some of his pieces. They're just stellar, and amazing players too!

    God, not only is Ivan Trevino (the composer), amazing at writing good pieces, but their interpretation of the music is so perfect for this piece.

    2:30 makes me feel at peace I'm in high school and this by far is the best piece I've heard In a while

    I love how you can hear the attack of the mallets but it's still soft and pleasant. Awesome recording!

    Sounds like a remix of Catching Shadows, this is beautiful and love the chemistry guys

    • @minablack2004
      @minablack2004 Před rokem

      It's got some of the best ideas from both Catching Shadows and 2300 Degrees along with its kwn complete uniqueness especially in the chorus around the 2:45 mark that shows up a couple times

    It’s so weird how the fact that this piece was played on marimbas and not a piano makes it so much more mesmerizing

      How long did it take you to learn it?

    • @ChaseHarrington0523

      Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when we look for a song to play at our spring concert next year.

      @ChaseHarrington0523 Před 8 lety

      If you don't mind me asking how old are you? Like sophomore, senior,... I'm just getting an idea of how long it might actually take.

    • @ChaseHarrington0523

    You guys play so beautifully together and everything grooves so well and sounds great. I have been working on this piece with a student, we hope to virtually record it together and I have listened to and watched this video many times. It never gets old. Great playing, thank you for sharing it with all of us.

    • @virginia1273
      @virginia1273 Před 5 lety

      It's actually not so bad! Yes it's a lot of notes but there are a lot of repeated patterns/melodies.

  • @homerinchinatown2
    @homerinchinatown2 Před 3 lety +3

    Beautiful piece, beautiful playing, beautiful audio - but what's the story on the video quality? I don't tend to fuss, but this looks like it was shot using the NASA mars rover or something. I watch classical guitarists and other similar things sometimes and it's just simple and elegant. This music and performance deserves the same....

  • @williamsmith3817
    @williamsmith3817 Před 7 lety +6

    Excellent performance! Quick question, how do you find the Burton grip compared to the Stevens grip on Marimba?

    • @ericpercussion100
      @ericpercussion100  Před 7 lety +13

      I find it does not add extra strain to my hands like Steven's grip had done to me in the past. It is important to understand no Four-mallet grip is perfect and all have their pros and cons.

    It's an amazing interpretation of this piece, AMAZING!

    • @ericpercussion100
      @ericpercussion100  Před 8 lety +1

      +Manuel Mota I am using Van Sice's mallets through Vic Firth. I believe Brant is using Stout's from Malletech.

  • @MrMagicpantz200
    @MrMagicpantz200 Před 9 lety

    Stupid Question: Does this have to be on two 5 octaves, or can it be on two 4.3's?

    • @ericpercussion100
      @ericpercussion100  Před 9 lety +1

      MrMagicpantz200 It is intended for 2 5 octave marimbas, however we have played this with one 5 octave and a 4.3 before and switched interments half way through.

  • @honeymustard940
    @honeymustard940 Před 8 lety

    4:20, brown hair switches technique. Are thumbs supposed to be inside the the stick or on it?

    • @hereb1
      @hereb1 Před 8 lety

      He is playing cross grip, which needs the thumb inside at times to expand to larger intervals.

    • @memebersh1p
      @memebersh1p Před 8 lety

      he switches from Stevens to cross for intervals

    • @danielhumphrey6950
      @danielhumphrey6950 Před 8 lety +1

    • @spencerbaker8672

    @rachelaganmusic Před 5 lety

    After playing this myself I feel like it's safe to say that the balance between you two was not as good as it could've been. So much low marimba, not enough of the high marimba, even though that's the part that usually has the melody.
