Erik Satie was one of the most accomplished French Impressionistic pianists and composers that ever existed. His timeless music simply challenges classification. His premiere Gymnopédie (previously the 3rd in the series) is among his most famous. The melody is so strangely familiar, like it was written in from a dream. Vibraphone definitely helps bring out the intense, yet unintentional emotion of Erik's composition. Written for 4-mallets. Available for 3-octave vibraphone.

It is like a vibraphone, xylophone and marimba had a baby lol. Very pretty though
Excellent performance, I am pleasantly surprised by how good the sampled vibraphone sounds! You really make it seem like there's not much of a difference between the xylosynth and an analog mallet instrument
Very beautiful Eric! You play with such grace and precision.
Thanks very much, Lindsay!
Wow, the song in Xylosynth is very beautiful ❤❤❤
The xylosynth is just the controller, the sound is coming from a sampled vibraphone. So it is the vibraphone which is actually beautiful 😉
@@EricPeelMusicOh sorry, I didn’t know the sound was coming from the Vibraphone, but I still did the sound it transmits is beautiful. You would should continuar make more covers 👌
@@maryferreyes4756 I would like to. I don't have this instrument anymore, but I hope to build a real vibraphone or xylophone in the future. Thanks for watching! And I would be grateful if you listened to some of my compositions on here too. Thanks!
@@EricPeelMusic I will wach you compositions, I hope that you build soon your xylophone or vibraphone 😉
OMG less than 30 seconds in and I am on tears
Thanks for watching!
Anyone else on a hunt for the music from Geowizards videos?
I watched his video series of crossing Wales (I think it was) in a straight line on foot. Epic stuff!
This is rad 🤙
Anyone know what song this is? I forgor
It’s in the video title. Lol
Unspeakable...
crisp & serene
fresh dew
fish roe, oysters, and uni
Its awesome seeing you perform. Your amazing and i love you music. Cant wait to hear more of your compositions.
Thank you Isaiah! It took many takes and nerves to get this recorded finally. And more pieces will be coming this year for sure!
♥️♥️♥️
Very sweet
Thank you 😊
hi, I wanted to congratulate you on your videos. I have seen you use xylosynth, a beautiful instrument. But is the sound I hear in the video its original that I find inside the instrument or is it taken from external MIDI sounds? because it is really very beautiful. thank you very much for the information and for your music.
I used the instrument purely as a MIDI controller connected to my computer. The sound is a vibraphone from the Virtual Drumline sound library. Thanks for watching! Would help me if you subscribed, if you’d like.
Sold
Thanks!
beautiful. thank you.💚
Agreed! Animals are our friends, and they should not be made into products!
@@EricPeelMusic 💚💚💚🌱
Sounds great, Eric!
Thanks for watching, Zach!
Can you transpose up or down an octave if you wanted to? If so, is it something that can be done quick to access say a Low A on a 41/3 or a low C on a 5 octave?
Yes. And yes.
I must buy a zylosynth. Now.
Aside from that, very nice playing! Absolutely loved it!!;)
Xylosynth has its ups and downs, especially the cost. But it’s a good tool. Thanks for watching!
The beginning kinda sounds like something from Avatar the last airbender.
I haven’t seen it, but maybe I’ll watch it. Thanks for commenting.
THIS IS FUCKIN EPIC!!! EVERYONE KNOWS THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!! pog
It is a nice piece! One of my favs!
So, what is the difference between a Wernick Xylosynth and a marimba? Is it just that it rings like a vibraphone would? Because I am thinking about purchasing one for traveling performance.

The melody in Tifa's Theme from Final Fantasy 7 would sound so beautiful on this instrument.
Being unfamiliar with this theme, I listened for myself. Have to say, I agree with you!
@@EricPeelMusic Thanks for taking the time to respond and think about that piece :) And thanks for providing free entertainment for us on youtube. Your rendition of Eric's work is beautiful :)
A duet with you and a ocarina player could make a beautiful Tifa theme cover :)
How do you connect the xylosynth to the wall socket and an amplifier?
Xylosynth to MIDI/USB interface to laptop. Sound is direct from system audio, using Logic Pro. There are other ways to do it without a laptop. You’ll have to email Wernick and ask them how it works.
Sleep inducing
Sleep is important!
very precise fingers, I would need four arms.
You don't need fours arms. You just need some practice!
Very soothing
Thanks for watching!
Indeed
This helps me from not having sleep paralysis. Thanks for being so talented
Thanks for commenting and watching. I’m glad this vid can help you sleep more peacefully.
@@EricPeelMusic thanks for the feedback you deserve lot of subscribers because you care what people feel and You respond to questions.
@@ZNA_productionz779 Thank you, Zach. It would always help me additionally if the video gets shared on fb or wherever else. Other than that, thanks very much for commenting.
this is so beautiful!
Thank you!
Very good. I enjoyed a lot!
Thanks a lot for watching!
Hey, you are a magician!?
Of course he is! He has the magician's beard and he can make the air wiggle pleasantly.
I saw that there was a 5 oct one that said it was a "folding" keyboard. Does it really fold on itself without damaging the wood?? Because that would be amazing. You KNOW that would be amazing.
The model I have here is a 4-Octave and it folds too! it IS amazing! It folds outwards; keys on the outside. The flight case supports it in this position in such a way that nothing can possibly touch/damage the keys. These guys really thought everything out!
Eric C. W. Peel ... I want so bad.
But I has no money...
Wait, how are you going to deal with that low Bb??? I have a 4 oct marimba and not having that one note is so annoying because so many pieces use it so often... But now you have to write more music that I'm able to play on my marimba! But you become at a loss of being able to write certain parts? I feel like I win but loose...
Also is it heavy when you're transporting it? I know that the bars are incredibly heavy (especially 4 octs worth) and five octs, that's almost brutal.
+Black Tecno
I believe the 5-Octave is under 45 pounds :) So this one is probably no more than 40 lbs. The construction is aluminium and there really isn't much to weigh it down besides keys, aluminum framing and small processors inside. Of course that doesn't include the stand. I have a double x stand here which is probably 5-10 pounds. But there are many options for stands out there. I'm looking into getting an extra wide keyboard stand so I can VESA mount a monitor on the front to read music without printing paper :)
Eric C. W. Peel And the money thing is tricky. How old are you? Go extra on your school loans and buy it that way! Not good advice, I know... but you will have the Xylosynth at least!
Eric C. W. Peel Problem is I'm not majoring in music and I'm also in college with barely any real money and taking out loans is only going to cost me more T^T
I'll just have to deal in the meantime, and it'll be like a goal. Like the candy I get for doing a good job.
Wish the audio quality was better it’s seems like u have the notes down I just think ur playin a bit too fast
To each, their own. The audio is a DI of the vibraphone from Virtual Drumline, some of the best percussion samples in the world. So not really sure what you mean about audio quality.
Eric Peel Music well the audio is punchy it could be from the upload and not the actual xylophone audio I think ur playing is great I personally think u should’ve gone with a brass one instead of a wood so it gives that more dreamy feel
Hopefully you understand that the Xylosynth is only a midi controller. The wood you’re seeing is not generating the sound. There are sensors underneath the wood bars that send a signal to my computer which triggers samples, in this case, vibraphone samples. Wood/brass, don’t know what you mean - is it mallet choice or bar material you’re referring to? Either way, it won’t matter as these are samples. I could play this thing with pencils and it would sound exactly the same. The audio is definitely compromised by youtube’s file compression. I also did not do any EQ or compression to the audio, so maybe the upper mids are too harsh. If anything, I think it could be more punchy and defined, not less so.
Eric Peel Music yes I understand it is a midi thats why I suggested a real xylophone so to answer your question it’s bar material or more generally speaking the entire xylophone I think gymnopedie would sound great on a real xylophone with natural sound
Ah, I see. To that, I would argue that a xylophone has too short of a sound. The original of this piece was composed for piano. Piano has a very long sustain which is really needed for this piece. Vibraphone also has a long sustain and is really the only percussion instrument which can handle the task as a solo instrument. With xylophone, you’d need another performer and you’d need to play rolls to get the notes to sing. I have actually done this for an ensemble version of this piece. If you search “Gymnopedie No 1 Percussion Ensemble”, you should find it.
