Electric Thoughts by Ivan Trevino combines marimba with a digital accompaniment designed to enhance the acoustic performance. Ivan mentions Radiohead's Kid A and Jon Hopkins' Insides as inspiration.

Holding strongly to his pop-meets-art style of writing, this solo opens with a wide open, repetitive section that eventually moves on to something much more active and groovy.

Marimbists who want to tackle this piece should prepare to work on double strokes. This solo does not contain a CD - instead, a URL has been included that you can type into your web browser to reach a download link.
