He worked on 2 various pieces as well as in in area of that item steve has agreed to play one. of his compositions for us this evening so i believe you will truly appreciate that he'' s mosting likely to come out a. bit later and as well as talk with you guys concerning it as some of you understand i'' d like to discuss . all the various instruments or anything interesting and also you could notice a big uh in. the center of the phase i'' m gon na not inform you anything and also let that be a surprise i can. tell you something it'' s not tetherball though alright it kind of resemble tetherball anyhow um i. was trying to believe when i was driving over here i was thinking about you understand there'' s a specific. tool that i actually desire to explain to everybody as well as i thought well i don'' t desire to. offer it away i think you'' ll have to seek it but it'' s an actually specific tool it ' s not. constantly used in a percussion set setup and also we it'' s really'hardly ever utilized however i ' m just going. to provide you'one hint as well as i assume you ' ll be able to figure it out from this hint and also the hint is that. you remain on it and also i assume when i was driving over right here that'' s what i was trying to believe of what is. there another tool that you actually rest on and dip into the exact same time and also if any person can. think of that please let me recognize afterwards or you understand google it during the throughout. the show whatever allow me understand due to the fact that i believe it'' s the only tool that you. in fact sit on as well as play at the same time so anyway without more trouble please welcome. percussion ensemble from buffalo state do do do so so so so so so do do do do so do so so do so do so so so i wish that wasn'' t pricey fine so hi my name is steve solok and it'' s actually. great to be below today um so mark provided a short introduction about me prior to and afterwards it'' s been uh. so i ' ll give a bit more concerning myself i ' ve been below collaborating with the pupils. this term uh on on two pieces generally as well as the initial piece that i'' m going to be doing. well i hunch i'' ll give an introduction regarding myself first so i'' m a regional percussionist i relocated right here from. san diego uh after getting my doctorate from there my other half is showing at ub therefore that'' s what. brought us to community as well as so since that time i truly learnt more about the the town and also actually started to. try as well as look into what makes this location tick both the history as well as also presently as well as it'' s been. really remarkable and also lovely to be familiar with it'it ' s had to do with six years now considering that i ' ve been. right here and also it'' s just been truly uh embracing and i can'' t state exactly how much i love living here um. I'' m a performer i ' m an instructor uh and also i also do a lot of research into dyslexia as well as music. so and that ' s something i located out when i was actually doing my doctorate that i had dyslexia. and dysgraphia as well as there'' s very little research done on this as well as so because that time i'' ve done a great deal. of research on notation and songs and also attempting to learn manner ins which could be extra intuitive for. discovering so i think that'' s something that um and i'' ve also i ' ve simply located out primarily that songs. has a truly integral part in today'' s culture and also can truly help trainees find out exactly how to read and also. that'' s something that requires to be stressed much more within simply the public due to the fact that it'' s verified. that this is possible so anytime this turns up i only constantly attempt as well as mention that there are truths. specifying just how much it can help our analysis capacity but additionally our noodle and also our minds as. we'' re creating too and so i can just motivate everybody to examine songs at any age. eventually because it will certainly just help you now i'' m also a brand-new music specialist so i require to state. that so when mark was uh asking me to do something here i truly believed long as well as hard regarding it. because i didn'' t wish to do just a typical representative item due to the fact that i assumed that the pupils could. get so a lot extra mark is a fantastic teacher as well as there are so numerous points that he can bring to them. I actually want to try and bring something that they wouldn'' t understand and also that brought me to an item. that i found out about a handful of years ago ago by eric griswold called strings attached currently what. you see between as they'' re doing right currently is a survey with strings attached to drumsticks. and what'' s mosting likely to occur is you ' re going to see people every person right here lifting their drumsticks. and afterwards watching the string react to the stick so basically you reach see a version of a. sound wave that'' s taking place now myself and one of the various other trainees nick will have strings. connected to each other and also so you'' ll additionally see exactly how i ' ll await that yeah i ' ll wait just how the strings affix to. each various other are strings affixed to our sticks and also exactly how they react too it'' s been defined. as a kinetic sculpture it can additionally be seen as like cats cradle at the very same time so. those are some points i think that are really sort of interesting to look at when you'' re. looking enjoying this piece and so when you'' re enjoying it i very motivate you seeing how the. sticks communicate and up there with the survey and also or with nick and myself since i think it'' s going. to be something that ' s actually fairly fascinating to view as well as concurrently it'' s been i assume. something that ' s truly important for individuals and also trainees and entertainers to recognize just how movement. can actually be uh can actually affect the manner in which an audience actually watches an item so i truly hope. you enjoy those things attached by eric griswold so so i hope that'' s a little bit a lot more uh aesthetic currently. and also reasonable what i was trying to relate to you men before as well as i really hope that was in fact. interesting for you as it is for me as a performer and also even as seeing it uh various other times as. a listener so however next off on the program i'' ll be performing a solo currently throughout covid um. like many people i tried to locate various things that i was interested to do to keep. me occupied i'' ve wanted creating as well as making up for vibraphone for quite a. very long time eventually um i was looking for ideas as well as things that i found interesting currently let. me simply take this first 2nd hope this doesn'' t maybe i won'' t i ' ll go back as well as forth so um what i. was attempting to create for the vibraphone i intend to make certain i was writing things that were actually. mosting likely to be especially for this tool so i took a great deal of time attempting to. A great deal of tools have resonators so the resonator what it does is it primarily is an. amplifier you can take any one of these bars away from these those are the resonators you can. take any type of bar far from those resonators and also it will certainly still seem it'' ll just be softer. it will in fact call longer also since it takes less power far from the resonating. bar so i'' ll reveal you an instance of just how it sounds uh with a shut so i think you on the. vibraphone the means it gets its name is due to the fact that it has these fins inside. of resonators that aid make turn the the resonator on and also off so eventually what it is is it'' s in fact a boosting transforming it on. and also off and also i'' ll show you what i suggest by this today the tube is open it'' s quite loud i i revolve it. that means the fin has actually shut the bar to ensure that'' s one more facet that how this instrument. ends up being extremely one-of-a-kind eventually that'' s just how this tool obtained its name from there and also it is. in fact now 100 years of ages so it'' s additionally type of an anniversary in this way however ultimately what i'' ll be. performing tonight uh like i should claim with this info i composed a collection of etudes based upon. things that are distinct to the tool the item i'' m mosting likely to play tonight is based upon some things i. have not released yet but have actually been exploring with and also what it is is betting multiple bows. for a very long time we'' ve been playing with two bows one in each hand since that time or since koben. i'' ve been operating in means to hold numerous bows so the piece tonight will be based on making use of three. bows and also with all of the structures i published up until now they had some type of catalyst i tried. to discover where the origin of the suggestion originated from as well as so the origin of this really. using multiple bows at the exact same time would certainly be a string quartet or string trio and also so. i searched for the first team path wasn'' t feasible to find but also for the very first string quartet. uh early ones i can discover were by joseph hiding so the item tonight is really gotten in touch with a theme. by joseph hyden because it is actually based upon among his early string quartets i'' ll talk i. hunch perhaps i'' ll just established truly quickly so i assumption um the last piece is also being. set up right there is by item by ivan trevino and that'' s called catching shadows currently ivan. went to college at eastman college songs his instructor there michael berry created an item called. catching shadows or sorry actually shadow chaser so this is actually kind of an ode to him in that. means and also then lastly before i play the vibraphone solo i just wish to thank to mark to the. students and to the team below currently to mark thank you a lot for inviting me right here i can'' t say thanks to. you enough it'' s been remarkable dealing with the trainees and also obtaining to recognize them and also seeing how. they interact as well as to the pupils they'' ve been terrific and have actually actually helped me out and aided. i assume well they'' ve assisted me out because i'' ve appreciated it so much and last but not least to the team thank. you for everything for the lighting and whatever else tonite so we can'' t thank you enough so first. is the vibe solo on the motif by joseph hyman so hmm um me hmm um so me uh so do so so do do so my so so so so you.
