On this page we have brought together a selection of our Marimba MP3 recordings. The antecedents of the Marimba instrument, xylophones with resonance chambers, can be found in West Africa and it is thought that they were brought to central America by pre columbian slaves where they were refined and adopted as national instruments in places like Guatemala and southern Mexico. Similar resonant xylophones appear in South East Asia but there is no recognised route for them to have been transported to central America at the relevant time. When they traveled north to the USA manufacturers replaced wooden resonance tubes with metal ones and now we have remarkable synthesizer versions including the version we have used from the Modular Moog emulator in our Marimba MP3 music. The long duration resonances are very realistic and extremely processor hungry and for the moment that has limited our selection of pieces where we can use it.

When the marimba music is combined with steel drums those sunny Caribbean overtones are redoubled and the music just makes you smile. This is evident in music from composers as diverse as Beethoven and Debussy, in key board works or those with more extensive orchestrations.

We seek to add value by presenting the music in new and exiting ways, freed from the technical constraints that applied to the composer but keeping faithful to the score.
