I've been working on my guitar technique lately

Thanks to @zorakc2c.bsky.social @musiconthedlo.bsky.social @rahulvanamali.com, I have finally achieved my dream of covering a Yakuza jazz bar theme: Silky Night (Yakuza 0-5), for when you're being educated on fine whiskey, or reflecting on that run-in with the Korean mafia (youtu.be/6wiBF0lf9Fs?...)

A picture of me playing my marimba with the vibraphone on stage in the background

Been working on more intentional, offline living lately, but some updates

- Sold out(!) solo show in Chennai last month, first of its kind in India
- Introducing marimba/vibes to new audiences & genres of Indian music with different bands/ensembles

Grateful for the opportunities

I've been gigging a lot with my vibraphone lately and a few weeks ago, something in the pickup system broke, leaving me with two buzzing keys and a non-functional volume knob until I can get replacement parts from the US 😭

Thank you!

A poster of me sitting behind my marimba with my hands clasped under my chin. "Many Studies, One Summary" is the concert title, with the subtitle "Rahul Vanamali presents: A Classical & Contemporary Solo Percussion Concert. Indian Premieres of Marimba, Vibraphone, Drum Set, Snare Drum works by Psathas, Séjourné, and more" It takes place at Aura Studios, in Chennai, on September 14, 2025, with tickets available through Skillbox.

I hadn't shared this on here, so -- this weekend I'm doing a solo classical percussion show in Chennai, which will be the first of its kind in India!

India's biggest classical music magazine did a feature on me too: serenademagazine.com/rahul-vanama...

New cover!

This is an arrangement of Schala's Theme from Chrono Trigger arranged entirely for metallic and glassy percussion - featuring the members of Open World Percussion!

I plugged my vibraphone into a guitar amp for the first time in a rehearsal today, and having previously used it almost exclusively with amp sims on my laptop…wow.

Someone tell me not to start looking at amps and physical pedals 🫠

A portrait shot of me leaning forward over the low end of my marimba and staring into the camera, with two mallets in one hand, and the other two mallets lying on the marimba keys.

New portrait shots 🥁

It really is!

Emulating guitar tapping on vibraphone remains the best way to keep my chops up

Tfw you accidentally hit Cmd+Q instead of Cmd+S 😶‍🌫️
Thankful Resolve autosaves lol

Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound 🐶

Watched a touching Bluey episode today that was adapted from a Buddha story I read many times as a kid...
Bluey continues to be a fantastic show

BLUEY!!!

I made a big old trombone collab to spread positivity and desire to help those around us 💙

For me, it's for Faye, who is a young Bluey fan battling leukemia. I wanted to do something to help!

Now, more than ever--we need to help each other. I hope this video inspires us all to do that!

They do! They said compatibility depends on individual models but I’d be surprised if the most common webcams didn’t work

It’s been a while since I’ve posted some shredding, so please enjoy me playing along to some Indian prog ⚡️

Ahh, thanks for the clarification! That would definitely help

Not to mention having to set my eShop store to a different country and pay higher conversions for digital games, which I’ve been doing since I moved back to India

100%. I actually don’t yet know how I’m going to physically get my hands on one unless someone I know happens to be traveling at an opportune time and is able to carry it

Those red borders are so big, not easy on the eye lol

I’ve only played it sporadically and never owned it so I’m so hyped to literally do it from across the world (I just registered online 🤞🏽)

I’m more concerned about the 50 hour playtime minimum in the last 12 months because I haven’t gamed much recently lol (I registered anyway)

New Mario Kart and enhanced BotW/TotK/Pokemon ZA, I’m sold and content 😌
