Very sorry to report that the #ChapmanStick community lost one of its masters today. Jim Lampi has passed away.

Pachelbel’s “Canon In D” played on two Chapman sticks.

ethereal and beautiful.

I know, it's weird for me to actually post something. But in honor of #MickKarn, here's a short little tune I threw together. #ChapmanStick #guzheng https://jonldavis.net/zhongyuband/2025/02/21/channeling-mick-karn-in-a-small-way/

Jeff Beck's #ChapmanStick sold at auction at Christie's this week for £8,820.
Somehow I doubt mine (which is an identical model) would fetch that much...

I'll probably find something else that's bugging me that I need to fix before I release it, but as of now I think my next album is finished. It'll be the thirty-sixth full-length release for me on Bandcamp. So if you like #music with a distinctly #prog flavour featuring plenty of weird instruments like the #WarrGuitar and #ChapmanStick, stay tuned...

New #review today: "#Bizirik is the mostly-instrumental project of Chilean multi-instrumentalist #CristiánLarrondo, who at one time was the bassist and #ChapmanStick player for the group #MarDeRobles, a band that seems to have called it a day around 2008 following their second album Indígena." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bizirik-ceremonia-ii-3.html

Here's a video flashback to 2014, where we play an early arrangement of "Insta Graham Poser." Studio version will be on our next album. #ProgressiveRock #ChapmanStick #JazzRock #BariSax https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okSIUlJLekA

There is a #bass version of the #ChapmanStick

New #review today: "Most listeners will know #MauricioSotelo as one half of the current lineup of #CabezasDeCera, the player of #ChapmanStick and all things with strings; Flor de Sal presents six pieces of music he brought to life during the years 2020-2023, during the Covid pandemic. The sounds are generally what one would call experimental and adventurous, yet still quite listenable and above all, interesting." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mauricio-sotelo-flor-de-sal-3.html

Okay, it's time. Time to change servers. Time to have local & federated timelines that don't make my eyes bleed. Time to support an indie effort.

Does anyone want to share about their server? My main interests are #Music - I play #Eurorack #Synth, #Guitar, #ChapmanStick, and software, with varying degrees of skill - and #Mathematics - I'm attempting to get into grad school for #Math to facilitate a career change. I'm also liberal af, if that matters one way or the other on your server.

Playing around with some different instruments the other day, I threw together this little thing. I'd been kind of working out the bass line in my head for a few days, but it was mostly spontaneous. #ProgressiveRock #Improvisation #ChapmanStick https://soundcloud.com/zhongyu/improv-20240204?in=zhongyu/sets/improvs-2024

Sooo, I'm seriously considering resuscitating my musical side by getting into the #ChapmanStick. Just joined stickist.com, same username. Is there by any chance a stickist presence on the Fediverse? :)

Reminded again about Wilson Page’s delightful #Songwhip site that provides free smart links to over a dozen different #music #streaming platforms for artists, albums, and songs

For example, here’s the one for #ProgressiveRock supergroup #StickMen featuring #KingCrimson alumni #TonyLevin and #PatMastelotto: https://songwhip.com/stickmen

Amazing gig by The Stickmen in Costa Mesa last week. And an official bootleg of the set just went live on Bandcamp today! #stickmen #chapmanstick #touchguitar #tonylevin #markusreuter
