Slow Times is a work for solo vibraphone and forms part of the collection Sticking Together. The piece unfolds as a loose succession of contrasting motifs and episodic sections, creating a reflective musical narrative rather than a strictly linear structure.

Its character is calm and introspective, marked by a subtle melancholy and a restrained expressive language. The open form allows space for nuance in phrasing and sound production, placing particular emphasis on tone colour and sustain.

In addition to the solo version, a duo arrangement for vibraphone and piano has been developed, expanding the harmonic dimension while preserving the work’s intimate atmosphere.

Slow Times is also featured on the album Alle Jahre Vibra.

The sheet music for this work is published by Vienna Percussion Editions.

This work has been recorded on CD.
