Vibes player Corey Mwamba celebrates the ways in which composers and improvisers have experimented with the vibraphone鈥檚 relationship to the drum
Vibes player Corey Mwamba delves into the many colours of an underappreciated instrument.
The vibraphone is a tuned percussion instrument, and in this episode, Corey celebrates the ways in which it has been treated as a drum. Composers and improvisers have experimented with the materiality of the instrument and the sounds that can be drawn from it, from the first jazz vibraphone recording, by Luis Russell in 1929, through to Christopher Deane鈥檚 Mourning Dove Sonnet and beyond. Played with chains (Els Vanderweyer) or bows (Steve Reich鈥檚 Sextet), microtonally retuned (Emil Richards) or electronically processed (Patricia Brennan), the vibraphone has a huge dynamic and timbral range that has often gone unnoticed.
