I'm looking for joints where xylophone is a main or featured instrument. Feel free to expand out in concentric circles to include vibraphone, marimba, glockenspeil, or any other melodic percussion type instrument played with mallets.Hit me with some xylophone

    Straight from the Thrill jockey thread. I was pretty amazed when I saw them to the third song on TNT live - three dudes on the vibes banging it out.

    And if I'm allowed to further expand in said concentric circles, no home is complete without at least one recording of javanese gamelan. I was at the Roskilde festival this year and a gamelan group was playing there, not on stage, just at the festival. Dressed up in traditional costume, about 12 people. Seeing that music performed live is

    That may be but the javanese gamelan musicians did it before Steve Reich...

    Lennie Hibbert - More Creation



    Essential reggae. You can check out audio for "Creation" at:

    Though "More Creation" is probably the better record. I couldn't easily find audio for that.

    in some sense yes, although reich admits to being more african influenced. are you sure you don't mean balinese gamelan and not javense? javense has some marimba esque instruments (called the demung, saron and peking according to size). balinese uses metallophone instruments (i belive they are called "gangsa") which are much closer to xylophones or vibes soundwise. but you are right, reich's approach to interlocking repititious melody lines is more similar to javanese style.

    i studied javanese gamelan and played in an ensemble for a short period of time.
