"Splendore" Chapman Stick

This is my latest song as of July 14 2011. I completed the song in memory of my good friend Italian stickist, Virna Splendore. Her last name Splendore means splendor or beauty. I will be releasing the music on CD next year as part of a progressive classical concept.

The return of the infamous Acoustick... Will this ever be a production model? I've asked that question for 7 yrs

[bobculbertson]

@hambone8080 We have been working on more prototypes. I know it has taken forever to produce a production model. All I can say is that I talked to Emmett a couple times recently and we really are interested in producing a production model. I need to continue to work out a few bugs and hopefully it will be done. I don't want to say how long it will take but if it can happen in a year or 2 I would be happy.

Thank you for your patience and interest. I hope it will happen sooner than later.

This is some really gorgeous, evocative playing, Bob. I love the timbre of the acoustic stick. And, sorry for your loss, that inspired such a beautiful song...life is thus, paradoxical.

Sorry you lost your friend so soon but we must go when we must, I guess, no stopping that, but, what an honor to have a friend who will remember you by dedicating a very special song. Your music is beautiful and I would like to hear a "slow" song and can't wait to listen to the rest of your video's. Thank you for taking the time to post what is in your heart.

This is absolutely beautiful. i really do love your music and i think that you are a great instrumentalist. These videos of your sooth me and make me look at things with and upward view. thank you for showing us your talent.

@SuperBenzid After monitoring the video a couple months I saw that the all of the thumbs down except 2 showed up in one day! If anyone knows how this can happen let me know. I fully accept that not everyone likes my music. There are short comings with the Acoustick we are working on. The balance between the 2 hands is off. I had to play a little harder on the melody side. If someone wants to thumb-it please give some constructive feedback. I am always learning too. Thank You for your feedback.

Beautiful music - loved the sound of the acoustic stick - Will definitely be interested in one of these if they come to fruition.

I love the melody rising above the arpeggios, a haunting and soulful legato sound.

Please come to the UK so we can hear you live!

@bobculbertson it's perfect the way it is. In several of my composition errors are part of the creation. I am sure Virginia wont matter your "Licenza Poetica' (Poetic License ... to make little mistakes when they comes form the heart)

thx again this song brigs me closer to her. Aldo-STM
