"Some time ago I took a road trip and visited the breathtaking redwood forests of Northern California. Standing among these majestic trees, some of which are over two and a half thousand years old, was like stepping back in time. It was a deeply spiritual and moving experience. The strength and nobility of these grand, old ambassadors formed the inspiration for this work."

Anyone can change shirts for the split-screen effect. But changing belts, now THAT'S attention to detail! Beautiful piece, Alex. Hope you're well!

Beautiful piece. Perfect writing for the instrument. Uses it’s timbre, resonance, and decay just perfectly. Shout out to whoever mixed this. The low end almost always causes peaking.

Thanks so much! So happy to hear that you like the piece. Mixing was done by electric animal studios, I’m really happy with how it sounds!

I really like how the piece plays with a lot with polyrhythms and repeating notes, kind of like a heartbeat. It really gives it a fascinating sense of movement, and when there is a gap, I feel even more anticipation. I’m so glad I found this; you play wonderfully!

Thanks, Florence! The redwoods are breath taking!

Such a wonderful composition! I'm gonna be performing this for my Senior Recital next Spring and was wondering what series of the Van Slice Model did you use for the Marimba 1 part?

@AlexStopa 7 лет назад

Thanks, Daron! Van Sice M114 and M115 (or a combination of these) should work. Of course it depends on the instrument and the space you perform in.

@synco95 7 лет назад

Okay thank you so much!

Is this the padauk marimba? I plan on buying it one day. Majestic has some good prices and i'm glad I finally found a video on this marimba (if it is the padauk one that i'm saving for). Also really good performance

@AlexStopa 4 года назад

Thanks for watching! No this is not padauk, it is an earlier model rosewood Majestic marimba. Here are 2 videos of me playing the padauk marimba on the MajesticPercussion RU-vid channel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ASCUajldMPk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l5M5ndfyWb0.html

How did you record this!?!? This is one of my favorites.

@AlexStopa 4 года назад

Thanks, Naoko! I had to record part one first and then overdub the second part. It was all done with click track to help line everything up. Still a challenge! Thanks for watching!
