first recording

i just finished the first recording with the vibraphonette. it is on a mostly piano piece called 'hopscotch.' it sounds great, but i had to work around the motor noise a bit - gradually bringing in the noise before the playing started. it is a very noisy piece anyway. in fact, i had to make a bit of a rhythm track out of the noise from the electric piano.

the song was recorded for vitamin-d's 'undercover audio' which is unreleased recordings for the people on the email list. so, if you want to hear the song, you'll have to sign up! here's our web site - www.vitamindmusic.com

i found this picture of when i first put the new belts on. you can also see the rubber bands that i used until i got the belts. i still have the rubber bands there as a backup, incase the belts break or squeak or something.
