I like what you have done here, and with this abstract style you are doing, you should consider using a DL4 or other delay pedal. It will allow you to use your own accoustic beat to set time, which is something that seems a little too organic in this particular performance. Nice work though. Certainly better than me : D
If you would like to learn more about this instrument and its history and cultural context you should check out mbira dot org for starters. Also youtube user Mbira0racle has some nice demos of traditional songs.
thanx for all that u gave me a comments. i stoped playin violin and percussion, since i have this mbira and iam focused on. this is quite new experience for me - to be a mbira player, and i need advices and ... resonance? how do u find my music. i'm not a virtuoso, but i feel this instrument gave me nice possibilities to improvise and compose. so, please write comments and be cruell:]
Attempts at re-contextualization, musical re-invention and electrification of the instrument are evident. Yet another page in Krejzimicz's musical diary - a nice try.
The tapping made it sound somewhat disjointed to me. I couldn't really pick up on any sort of melody. There were some parts here and there that I liked though, and it is a pretty cool idea. Maybe it will sound better if you play something like that but faster. Keep it up. I like your setup too, did you add the pick-up yourself?
yes i add the pickup. maybe i should show what i do on a performances with a loopstation. i like very much slow tempo , givin spoace for the sounds to enjoy the release. try Morton Feldman or Alva Noto music. be well myroboticlove
Put that through a wah or something. That would be killer.

What kind of mbira is that? Around here i can only find pentatonic mbiras with just one octave. kind of limited, no?
