That really came out wrong… đ I am giving away FREE MUSIC!
But it is just that! A giveaway surrounding the music that has come out from Mike Neumeyer Music/Voirimba Publishing during the COVID-19 crisis.
What have you been up to during the stay at home order? Watching movies, listening to those dusty albums, practicing, reading, the list goes on and on! đ
I tend to get into a creative mode when I have more time. Now, I am still working remotely for one job and teaching online for another, but my private studio work lessened, so I did end up with a little more time.
Also the mindset of getting stuff done was very contagious and I felt like I had a chance to make some music!
Now, folks are stuck at home with no gigs or students are spending a lot of time playing video games (which is fine and fun!), but maybe they just need that perfect piece to get them inspired at their instrument.
Therefore, I would like to give away some of my works for a limited time to help people fill their catalog, add to their collection, and have another option to spend their extra time. đ
Please see below for these brand new, quarantine inspired, vibraphone works: Open, Part of Life, and Sleeptime. Since those are all vibraphone solos, I am also making my marimba solos Variations and Tension Relief available. Enjoy and stay safe through all of this!

Part of Life – for solo vibraphone
This work totally borrows from another work of mine called Life. So, it is Part of Life. Derp. I think it also fits with what is going on right now with the COVID-19 virus. I mean, this isnât part of life normally, but it reminds me of when my Dad would say something along those lines when ba…
Sleeptime- for solo vibraphone
Sleeptime is a sister work to my other vibraphone solo, Open, because it is so slow and accessible to interpretation through rubato. This work specifically calls for two measure phrasing and in my performance; I really milked some of those moments. Other players may do something different! Ei…
Variations (from Comprovisations)
Variations evolved beautifully as an improvisation that was essentially a âcomprovisation.â During this works conception and recording, a theme is picked at the beginning. Small variations and soloistic interludes occur between moments where the original motive is brought back into pla…
