Groovy bebop lines sputter into minimalist phrases, whirls around the circle of 5ths, and Jacob Collier-inspired beats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece offers a high degree of individual responsibility, with each player providing a unique layer to the grooves and musical episodes. The xylophone player is invited to \"lean back\" their feel on solo lines; the drum set part may be embellished freely; even the glockenspiel part enjoys an unexpected solo moment over a heavy-hitting percussion beat. Kilby's work is uniquely humorous yet listenable, and is a well-rounded addition to concert programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pocket-Sized Funk Machine ships as a printed, professionally bound score, and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNumber of players: 12\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Advanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 1: Glockenspiel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 2: Vibraphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 3: Vibraphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 4: Xylophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 5: Marimba (4.3 octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 6: Marimba (4.5 octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 7: 4 timpani\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 8: Drum set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 9: Bass guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 10: bongos, ratchet, police whistle, flexatone, shaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 11: slapstick, temple blocks, mark tree, rainstick (share w\/Player 12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 12: rainstick (share w\/Player 11) cha cha bell, timbales, jam block, mambo bell, triangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826929303606,"sku":"TSPCE22-012","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/kilby-pocket-sized-funk-machine-the-sp-b-2v-x-2m-4t-ds-p-bg.jpg?v=1773511255","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/kilby-pocket-sized-funk-machine","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
