man oh man how the projects keep rolling in!!! thank you for even MORE inspiration!! All of a sudden, my streetsweeper spokes that I pick up have a new life very soon!!!!!! yippeeeee
what an excellent sound, I don't understand the preference for the thick keys with a "crease" down the middle that the Shona mbiras often have, I much prefer this "thin key" sound. Of course its about the music, sound alone can be misleading (a "worse" sound is better for some music, like distortion) Never the less I myself could make music more readily with this sound with its long sustain and sharp treble edge. well played
Beautiful music and tone. Every mbira I've seen has a slightly different timbre, and yours is one of the really sweet sounding ones. I'll try to track the maker down. My guy here probably knows him. Nice work!
This is one of the best songs I've heard in a while. I saw on your myspace that you're making a mbira album? Any idea when it's going to be coming out? I'd pay for it.
Geez, your mbira has such a sweet, full sound... Where did you get it? I dig what you're doing with the guitar effects, plugging other instruments into guitar effects is always gives such exciting sounds.....
A mbira improv in 7! Argh!!!! Seriously, I've seen all your vids and love what you are doing with the instrument, even the crazy stompbox tune is very cool. Do you have a cd or plan to record one? You are doing your own thing and I think many will enjoy it. I sure do. Peace
uff? thank u very very much Sardanza! its good to know that someone understand the construction and likes unregular meters:] at this time I'm plying solo performances for mbira, loopstation, and electronics, maybe ill show it on youtube. and slowly collecting pieces for mbira album. other activities on myspace/com/zakrocki
thank u for this comment. yes. iam from europe so its my natural style:] this is a polyphonic instrument and iam using it on my way,with all respect for shona tradition.
No,this doesnt spoil the mashona spirit at all,its a wonderful tribute to the instrument created by them. Any truly great instrument eventually finds its way to other cultures,this happens as a result of love,not thievery or corruption, Please thank the friends of the Mashiona tradition,they are kind people.
like i have said on another video that someone commented on, scottish bagpipes are originally from india, and the traditional harmoniums from india and pakistan are from europe, you wouldn't tell them they are spoiling any spirits would you? music is music no matter where it comes from, who makes it, on what, or how.
thank u. yes, i agree. music is playin with the waves. id like to compose these abstract vibrations with all thrue. not to tryin to be someone else. feeling and listening! anyway thats great that we can admire for ex. traditional japan music or indian ragas - i mean universal beauty. be well larsonjeffp!
This is very nice playing.
