"So what's the deal with the quarter-tone marimba? I know Robert Van Sice is like the only person who has played on one. " Re: Other musicians have played it too. Kuniko Kato, for instance, recorded James Wood's concerto "Venancio M'Bande talking..." "I was wondering, how have composers (mainly James Wood) composed for a quarter-tone marimba? I think it would be interesting to see the quarter-tone marimba grow in popularity and possibly have more pieces written for it. I know James Wood wrote for quarter-tone marimba, as well as quarter-tone bells and vibes in his percussion ensemble pieces." Re: I did work with James Wood when I studied at the Guildhall School, between 93 and 97 and worked with him on a new piece for percussion quartet at London National Theatre, ages ago. He makes some very exciting pieces, with brilliant instruments, yes, a very fine musician. I commissioned a piece for full 1/4 tone vibes (two sets of vibes in front of each other on a single frame, being the 2nd set a quarte tone higher than the 1st) to a student composer. Insteresting piece, but, kinda tricky to find the instrument :-) All best wishes, from rainy Lisbon, Pedro http://www.pedrocarneiro.com Remote Host: adsl045253.lsb.net.kpnqwest.pt |
