What do Nibelung’s dream about? Tickets to Bayreuth? Rhein Maidens? They dream in color about the rhythm.
4.
The Rhine looked good. It’s not an E-flat though, he thought. Overcome with curiosity and something unexplainable, he jumped. Only finding the resonance, Robert kept looking...
5.
My dear Parnassus, do you really think that a tiki-lounge is the place to learn counterpoint? I don’t remember saying anything in my book about tiki lounges, or vibraphones..... Oh, haven’t we had enough of that rhythm already....... Wait, you might be on to something..... Let me see that menu! The Deep-Sea Diver. Too many of these and you’ll be seeing mermaids. Exotic Tropical fruit juices and five different rums blended into a memorable refreshment. The Fog Cutter Two of these and you can find your way home in any fog. A mixture of rums, fruit nectar and exotic flavourings. The Golden ipo Your taste buds will come to life with this one. The ice formation adds mystery and the concoction is perfect for a before dinner drink. The witches brew Not recommended for a weak heart. Although the witch is tantalizing, she is dangerous. Just the drink the god Bacchus would order. The Kanaka Kapu This drink separates the Kane (men) from the Keike (boys)... Three tasty rums blended with tropical fruit juices. Wow! What a drink! The Head Hunter We found this one deep in the jungle. You take the risk...Rum aplenty! Enough for two!
6.
After these things I saw a huge form, rounded and shadowy, and shaped like an egg. Its outer layer consisted of an atmosphere of bright fire with a kind of dark membrane beneath it. And in that outer atmosphere there was a ball of red fire so large that all the huge form was lit up by it. Directly above the fireball was a vertical row of three lights which held it with their fire and energy and prevented it from falling.
7.
With the symbol W and an atomic weight of 74. Just try to rhythmize me. Not to brag, but I’m a heavy metal. Best to just bring along to the picnic.

about

Matthew Lau debut album features four works for vibraphone & electronics. Loops by Hansen & 22.4 by OZNO were commissioned and written for Matthew Lau, while Linde by Almada had made a profound impact on Matt's aesthetic on contemporary vibraphone playing and career. Gr@w£ix (Grawlix) is part of Loops for Vibraphone & Electronics (2019), and is inspired by electropop dance music from the Hispano-speaking world in the early 90s. 22.4 (2021) is a 5-movement work by OZNO James Boznos for vibraphone, spoken words, and midi. The 22.4 project is my way of expressing my deepest gratitude for what James had done for me during my undergraduate days. For more information, please visit www.matthewlaumusic.com
