I want to inspire composers to write for the vibraphone. this piece by stockhausen shows how wonderful the instrument is, and how it can sing using the length of the note, the pedal and different colours through different mallets.
Hi, I'm a young Portuguese composer, and I wrote a piece for the vibraphone solo as well, and for my research on the instrument this was one of the pieces I heard and was inspired by. I loved the performance!
This week I´ve been with Michael Pattmann, one of Stockhausen´s percussionists. He and my Composition Teacher Jaime Reis are playing Kontakte all over Portugal.
my god your playing is just divine!! I mostly apreciated your huge range of dynamics and your very clean performance...congratulation, you're realy a great artist!
Very mesmerizing and amazing freshness in sound. Sounds like Crystals beaming their energy into the universe. (Harry Oldfield) Great performance, Peter! Thanks!
Nick was very very nice to work with, always well organised and well prepared. And in for ANY musical gig. He did a great masterclass in Detmold, Germany too. Great talent!
WOW!!! FANTASTIC! I can't believe Stockhausen wrote this, it's so conservative, but really, really FUN! I guess this is in the same vane as pieces like Stimmung or some parts of Mantra... I LOVE your technique - the coordination of the stick changes, the dead strokes, the muting, the glissandi at the end ... so perfect! I'm actually a composer working on a vib and baritone piece right now, and this performance really gives me some great ideas. THANKS SO MUCH, this really made my day!!!
Good to discuss the music, what is flat, what is boring, what is senseless? What music do you prefer, and what are the things in that music you like? We often discuss modern music. What makes it special? What do some hear in it and other not?
Okay - so we have a mutual person in common: Nick Tolle. I just graduated from NEC - he's an astounding talent, and it's great you have his performances up!!!
i was told being able to use 3 mallets was a complete waste. (thats how many i use.) you just proved him wrong. and your 2 mallet work is very impressive.
This is WONDERFUL! I appreciate the playing and the composition. Where would a player, in the United States, be able to buy this music/score? Can someone please help me with a website/contact if you know?
this vibe is saito bars and adams frame. a wonderful instrument. I choose the saito bars for the tuning for this particular piece. And, Stockhausen liked the sound of these bars.
thanks, it is an honour to get respons like this...! like many artists: give it 100%, and what comes out is finally beyond control. it happens. what do you do?
I am sure many of us would like to hear more about your piece for vibes and baritone...! please let us know. thanks for your comment. You can check the score to see how stockhausen wrote it down. very precise, each bar in a different tempo. Really everything you hear is decided by the score, even the smallest rubato. GREETINGS! peter
sure, it has many possibilities. more used in chamber music then any other percussion instrument. but as a solo instrument, I am sure more repertoire is coming..
Can you tell me if the vibraphone you play is studio 49 from Germany, Adams from holland or the late and sadly missed Deagan from america. I have an old studio 49 (electric vibes) and would love to try this piece with it.
The Emperor's Neue Musik. This music is so silly and boring, but nobody dares to say it for fear of appearing stupid. Well, I say:"The King is naked!" Prommel is a very good player, though.

Great piece, excellent performance. And it was very musical!

the marimba is great too! different colours and possibilities. all in all a completely different instrument when you get into both.

Stockhausen is the best composer ever lived
Hallo Peter,
Ik heb het stuk al een paar keer beluisterd,erg goed uitgevoerd en mooie compositie ook.
Vriendelijke groet Johan
Bravisimo. I love your manner to play, really professional. You are the best.

I would love to have a look at this sometime. Just curious, are the mallet changes notated in the score or are they just a personal choice?
Does anyone know the history of this piece? Is it from a larger work?
Damien, UK
yes

I have an old studio 49 (electric vibes) and would love to try this piece with it.
who's compose this work?
김문정 hi. karlheinz stockahusen is the composer!
To be honest, it is a work that sounds mediocre for me.
The Emperor's Neue Musik.

Prommel is a very good player, though.
