  • Meet Robin Eubanks Interviewed by Craig Jolley
    1 "I play a regular acoustic trombone, but I clip a mike on the end of the bell and run it to a bank of processors I've programmed-- straight trombone going in, processed sound coming out." Meet Robin Eubanks Interviewed by Craig Jolley Introduction to trombone When I was eight years old (fourth grade) a couple of kids came in to play Christmas carols. One played trombone, and one played trumpet. My mother's a piano teacher so I was familiar with musical instruments. All the other instruments you could see how they were played, fingered, or struck. With the trombone I couldn't figure out by looking at it-- why was he moving his arm back and forth? I was a curious kid, and I was fascinated by it. The last day of school they asked us to pick an instrument for the school band next year. We were supposed to learn to play over the summer. I picked trombone. My arm couldn't reach seventh position so I was missing a couple of notes. Electric trombone I play a regular acoustic trombone, but I clip a mike on the end of the bell and run it to a bank of processors I've programmed--straight trombone going in, processed sound coming out. Mutes can work with the processor, but I don't use them--maybe a little plunger, but other than that I prefer the open sound of the trombone. I've gone through several incarnations of electronics. Lately I don't use a wa-wa pedal, but there's a wa-wa pedal board that automatically opens and closes, depending on how hard you attack the note.
