Yep, my stuff typically doesn't progress or go anywhere. As you previously described, it is music for walking around in circles.

I wasn't even looking for this. Listening to Graham Lambkin and this came up.

That sounds great. Apparently that guy builds gamelans and teaches gamelan at a college. I wanna build gamelans and teach gamelan. Well maybe not teach gamelan, just build and play them.

I literally listened to that album 5 times today. Easily my favorite find of the year. Today was a great day.

moid posted that a few pages back. Good stuff.
Also, this probably doesn't have anything to do with anything in this thread, but I'm diggin' it:

That's no problem at all, it's a great piece of music

OK not as incredible as Daniel Schmidt, but my son and I have finished a track made with kalimba, glockenspiel and electric guitars (and lots of pedals). I hope you guys like it - most of it is by my son, I just played the background droney fuzz guitars and what sounds like an organ, but is a guitar - the kalimba and glockenspiel and guitar solo are his work.

You know we will, moid.

Sounds great!

(…and, shhh, don't tell Nora, but I think your son is a better glockenspieler than Nora.)

We weren't trying to compete with you - we were just inspired by your videos

Please keep making them, they give me ideas (mostly clean, polite ones of course). If it makes you feel any better, originally I was going to play the kalimba in the track, but my son heard my version of it and said 'well it's not terrible, but isn't very good either" and then proceeded to play the version you can hear... watching someone who is a quarter of my age just rattle through the track in one take with hardly any mistakes is both impressive and depressive at the same time.

Generally speaking, I am a big fan of both of you making more tunes...please...
EDIT: You have at least one fan...that fan is me!!!

So, apparently, this's the top three rankings of Glockenspielers/Kalimboists vaguely associated with this thread:
#1 - moid's son
#2 - Ugly Nora
#3 - moid
Not necessarily associated with this thread, but perhaps $harkToootth will enjoy listening:
