• Arthur Scova Rhigini trades places with percussionist/bandoneon player Mark Constands ('57) in 1998. Constandse, higly influenced by eastern-european gypsy music, brings in 7th and 5th quarter measures and melodies. Combined with the free noise approach of the Vibes leads to an original & new kind of music. "Transparent passing" (cd,'98) comes out and is well recieved in the european "avant-garde" jazz circuit. It is followed by extensive touring once again. In 1999 the Vibes move their home-base from Rotterdam to London, England. Mark C. stays in Holland and forms his own gypsy band "Parne gadje". Living in a small artist community on the south bank they organise concerts, projects and art-exhibitions all over town involving illustrious acts and performers like "Brain of morbius", "Baby trio", Charles Hayward (This heat), "Bert shaft orchestra", David Aylward (Blurt) and more. This goes on untill 2001. Wally & Moniek turn back to Rotterdam to work on a new piece called "Tranquileyes" (cd,'01) five duets for bass and guitar. A fragile instrumental miniature of five pieces of music undressed to the bone. The experience of working as a duo and the subsequent freedom of expression, structure and composition works as an eye-opener and is followed by "Livingroom recordings (cd,'04), "is your mind free?!" (cd,'08), "live @ radio Funkwelle" (cd,'08), ending up with the latest release "Hot-nead in silent water" (cd,'11). During this last 10 year period they play as a duo in a variety of clubs, bars, art-centers and theatres all over Europe occasionally engaging themselves in side-projects with interesting musicians, performers and film /video artists. For 2011/2012 the new album is planned to be release in november '11, followed by various concerts on European stages.
