Hence the title, meaning ‘having the nature of aluminum', from which vibraphone bars and tubes are customarily made – though not only the instrument but the music itself might be considered aluminous, comparable with this light, bright metal in its sleek flow. Sometimes the percussionist maintains that flow alone, but it comes first from the strings. Repetition and near repetition gear up the constant motion, on scales small and large; the process is ongoing and the destination hot.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andy Akiho","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43762415763535,"sku":"ARP3032","price":130.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/8c96b2b8c68596ea3d498243125bcc84.webp?v=1761929877","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/akiho-aluminous-akiho","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
