Les Kalimbas du Ventoux

January 2024:
After our best wishes for 2024, a motif which takes up the one which accompanies the song Denko, tutorial from July 2023, to modify it and create a polyrhythm (already approached from another angle in November 2020!)

Here are the different steps necessary for making a Ventoux kalimba.
The music is taken from the CD “Just some sounds”, song “Chrysalis”

A pattern on a binary 3-beat rhythm, as already covered with other melodies in April 2021 and May 2022. Good music and happy holidays!<

A composition by Matthieu Grothendieck. This piece is taken from the CD "Just a few sounds", to be found on la boutique

François d'Avignon came to visit the kalimbas of Ventoux in Villes sur Auzon, the occasion of this musical duo Tibetan bowl / kalimba.
The tuning of the kalimba is in akebono (Asian 5-note scale), E, F#, G, B, C, E, F#, G, B, C, E.
See this link to the site of "the gardener's hut": Tibetan singing bowls

17-note Kalimba with walnut table, the scale used is the C major pentatonic: C, D, E, Fa, Sol, A, B, C ... etc, up to high E on the right.

The kalimbas of Ventoux have just completed a series of kalimbas, electro-acoustic models. Mosso rings one on the Hiwatt.
