Five octaves of silky wood

The concept of Marimba

The bars of the Marimba are played with different mallets. The hard articulation was made by hitting with a plastic mallet which achieves a dry and thin sound with lots of percussive attack. The second articulation features a typical felt mallet giving you a sound which balances the percussive attack and a warm richness. The last variation was achieved by playing the Marimba with a giant soft mallet resulting in a warm and indirect sound.
