Kalimbas to Marimbas with Michael Askill, Greg Sheehan

When Taal Naan was in Byron Bay recently to work with Michael and Greg, we did a lot of improvising. One piece that came out of this was the one performed in the following video, filmed at the Byron Community Theatre. It is performed on a pair of kalimbas looped and processed through Ableton Live, followed by an improvisation for four players on one marimba, loosely based around the many different ways that we could play a Greg Sheehan number 'triangle' -
