Etude: Polyphonic Hocket
- , September 21, 2023
Polyphonic Hocket looks at two specific traditional Zimbabwean rhythms and splits them between pairs of marimba players. The people playing High 1 and Low 2 are facing each other and sharing a single rhythm on the bongos. The pair on High 2 and Low 1 are doing the same thing with a different rhythm.

Kufungira Matemai
-Joel Laviolette , June 22, 2023
I have been thinking about my teacher, mentor, and good friend Matemai who I have studied mbira with since 1998. He passed away in 2021 and this is a song based on the last mbira song I learned from him.
