A percussive form of music, best created spontaneously, whereby the players are your colleagues and the notes are the various infuriating coughs, sneezes, hiccups, sniffs, burps, farts, clicks of the teeth, sighs etc that plague your every waking hour in your open-plan office.

I once did a radio interview about the halfbakery that, it turned out, immediately followed a bit about this record. [jutta, Jan 30 2008]

I searched the internet and the halfbakery for this and was somewhat surprised that it didn't exist. So surprised that I'll be surprised if no-one can link to the same or similar idea from here or the wider web. |
|
| |
I would bun this except that I can't stand the clicking of the teeth... |
|
| |
I have a feeling I may have seen this, or something v similar, On Sesame Street or summink.
You wouldn't want to use my office. It's like a fuggin terminal chest ward on world phlegm-hacking day in here sometimes, and when the hayfever season kicks in - oh, man. You'd swear you were in a zoo. |
|
| |
I've heard recordings like this, but I really don't care to track them down. |
|
| |
This was baked by "Spike Jones and his City Slickers" I've seen the video and it was hysterical.[+]Google it, there's some vids on boob tube as well.(eg:"Cocktails for two") |
|
| |
I have a .wav file of Wacko from Animaniacs belching out the Blue Danube. Ah the Animaniacs: they lived too brief. |
|
| |
"A percussive form of music..."
Wind, shirley? |
|
| |
Oddly enough, the gentleman in Jutta's
annotation calls himself "Slim Spincter".
He appears to be a living typographical
error. |
|
| |
Maybe it's intended as a variation on Phil Spector? |
|
| |
Possibly so, but Phil Spector has an 'h',
whereas Mr. Spincter, who could so clearly
use one, has not. |
|
| |
Pretty guitar on the Slim Spincter samples. |
|
| |
//Shlim Spincter?// *sigh* I was alluding
to the fact that he presumably intended to
call himself "Sphincter", but failed to do
so. I suppose it's just one of the mysteries
of life. |
|
| |
I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned Josef Pujol, who turned the act of farting
into an art form, becoming at one stage
the highest paid entertainer in the whole
of France. see link |
|
| |
"For his finale Le Pétomane inserted a rubber tube into his anus, attached an ocarina to the end of the hose, and played popular tunes while inviting the audience to sing along." |
|
| |
Utter genius. He was apparently the highest earning performer in France for a while, which speaks volumes about the French. |
|
| |
//He was apparently the highest earning performer in France for a while, which speaks volumes about the French.// |
|
| |
Yeah. He was the only performer to break a strike by Entertainment Workers. He didn't mean to- he had just had a lot of beans for lunch. |
|
| |
Hmm. I have looked at the links - well, as many of them as I can at my thoroughly websensed workplace - and it seems (from here) that each is concerned primarily with one bodily function and most have traditional instrumentation in them, too. Still surprised that this wasn't ever thinked of for some self-consciously kooky pan-European advertisement for, I dunno, trampolines or something. |
|
| |
There are only two problems with this
idea. The first is that the title gives the
impression that this would be a sonata
composed entirely of bodily noises. The
second is that it turns out to be a sonata
composed entirely of bodily noises. |
