SteelCircle Event - N.Hollywood Fri Dec. 4th 7-9pm

PlayHang — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:35:58 GMT

The Remo Recreational Music Center in North Hollywood has graciously allowed their space to be used for a SteelCircle Event for Hang, Halo and Caisa (and Bellarts Bell if anyone has one). . The space is really fun, I've gone there with my family for some of their open drum circles. The space is reserved for us from 7-9pm.

The vision of this SteelCircle gathering is more of an organized circle/performance instead of the 'Encounter' oriented L.A. gatherings that we've hand in the past. If anyone has a piece they'd want to play, we will start with performances, and then move to a circle/exchange with a few basic melodies and a chance for all players to add their spice. We will finish with open play in the space with steel and small percussion (shakers, etc) for all attendees.

Friday December 4th 7-9pm
REMO Recreational Music Center
7308 Coldwater Canyon.
North Hollywood 91605
(1/2 block North of Sherman Way)

Hope to see you there!

CBH: New Music

Vash — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 22:54:19 GMT

hey gang, just thought I'd share that my band Circled By Hounds has recorded and will be releasing a new album "Howl No Demon Louder" next month.

I played a lot of Idiophones including Bones & Spoons (Even 4 pair of bones at once!) Rattles, Shakers, Spatulas, Pie Servers, Pitchfork and Body Slapping as well as as well as Bodhran, Ashiko, Snare,and some vocals. I did a LOT of layered percussion this time, which is a lot of fun in a nice studio.

We've posted 3 full tracks from the new CD to our MySpace page: www.myspace.com/circledbyhounds

Feel free to drop by and have a listen for free.

Musical Saw?

Vash — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:01:27 GMT

Do any of you fine idiophoners (idiophonists?) play the musical saw? I have long thought I should investigate something more like a melody instrument than the percussion I have played for so long. I have always thought that the saw is a really cool instrument and I'm thinking of picking one up and trying to learn to play.

Anyone have any experience or advice they'd like to share?

Daxophone

Duco — Sun, 05 Mar 2006 22:10:03 GMT

Hans Reichel is the inventor of the Daxophone, a bowed or tapped strip of wood, similar to the ruler on the edge of the table thing.
The sound is unbelievable!
It's like a singing animal !

Just found y'all Cool tribe...hi!

looppool — Fri, 19 Aug 2005 09:08:36 GMT

Just came here tonight.............cool tribe! thanks.

I have a large collection of thumb pianos, sanzas, marimbulas, kalimbas
and a pretty big collection of hard and softwood bones, actual bones,
hardwood spoons, metal spoons, etc.

I did an improvisation in a recording studion the first night I met Artis the Spoonman. I saw him at a concert and was very inspired and had access to a professional recording studio so we went in and set up a whole
utensil orchestra on either side of an isolation booth. I had already been into the concept of a 'found' untensil 'marimba' and have a lot of trapset stick drumming skills so I was able to hold my own with the amazing Artis.

Oh yeah, and i have a nice set of crystal glasses for glass harmonica
and a very nice musical saw which I"m just starting to learn how to play.

A zillion struck idiophones (wood blocks, claves, et. al.)

A very nice collection of jaw harps (including some beautiful concert tuned ones from Hungary and a plethora of Indonesian bamboo ones.

A large collection of zils of different sizes

and a huge collection of 'found' idiophones.

I love idiophones!

thanks or the cool tribe.

So what about you all? What are your favorites?
