Robotic Vibraphone?
Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 4:48PM
Yes, in fact my dear friend and fellow vibes player Tim O'Keefe and his team of crack designers recently completed Marv the MIDI Actuated Robotic Vibraphone. You can find out more about Marv at robovibes.com. For now I leave you with this awesome video of Tim jamming along with Marv on Song for My Father by Horace Silver.
Also, extra props for getting news of Marv picked up over at Laughing Squid!

Thanks for the shout out, Moses! Apparently we also ended up on Gizmodo: http://gizmodo.com/5471095/marv-the-vibraphone-robot-plays-flight-of-the-bumblebee-crazy-fast
My next trick will be to have you play it from Wisconsin -- I think it'll actually be quite easy. Let's tawk.
Moses! What a treat to see your name - and praising MARV! We are so proud of Tim, he and his team really scored a star with Marv, hmmm?
Hope you are doing well - did I see you are in Wisconsin? Married? Doing what??
