If you've ever cut metal, you'll know it makes an unholy
shriek This is because the cutting blade is imparting a
vibration to the metal. This vibration could be easily tuned
to produce a desired note.
Spinning wheels used to create a note have been around
since the 30s. They put a bunch of
magnetic pickups next
to these things and they create that classic electronic
organ sound we all know.
These spinning wheels are saw blades. The metal bars feed
into the 61 or so cutting mechanisms when their respective
keys are pushed. The bonus of this very loud contraption is
that it shoots sparks as you play it. Red hot molten metal
sparks.
Turbojet woodwinds, explosion based percussion, these
things, all amplified through V1 buzzbomb speakers, NOW
we've got ourselves a concert.

Yea man! Heavy metal right behind jet engine! What? I said "HEAVY METAL RIGHT BEHIND JET ENGINE!". [doctorremulac3, Nov 04 2019]

Your culture is clearly yearning for an "Unconventional Orchestra" - making music, actual music, with things that normally just make noise. |
|
| |
Avant-garde composers such as Schonberg have managed to create "music" from a conventional orchestra that sounds like a bag of hanmers being shaken in a tin dustbin. |
|
| |
By assembling an array of power tools, hydraulic and electrical motors, firearms, gas turbines, pulse-jet engines, and a fire-organ, real classical music, but with a unique timbre, could be played. |
|
| |
We suspect that such an event would not only have novelty value, but a wide appeal. |
|
| |
Amplification would probably not be necessary, indeed some of the musicians will require heavy duty hearing protection. |
|
| |
I've got just the music to be played on these dangerous
instruments. Mine. |
|
| |
And I'm used to wearing hearing protection, always wore
ear plugs on stage. It's very very loud up there. |
|
| |
Now if that isn't a setup I don't know what is. |
|
| |
//always wore ear plugs on stage.// |
|
| |
1- "So did half the audience."
2- "They should have been packaged with your albums."
3- "Radio and MTV broadcasts were sponsored by Bob's
Earplug Emporium. |

But seriously, check out the link. Jet engine = 140db,
rock concert right behind at 120db. |

If the gods played music, it would be heavy metal. |
|
| |
This is not a pipe organ. I think it is a free reed instrument, related to harmonica, concertina and accordion. |
|
| |
True, but it would also be a variation of the Hammond
spinning wheels with pickups next to them. (link) |
|
| |
// harmonica, concertina and accordion. // |
|
| |
harmonica - just about tolerable. |
|
| |
accordion - one small step down from bagpipes; clear grounds for summary execution without trial. |
|
| |
I didn't invent this idea! I only offered a more accurate classification! |
|
| |
So then we need to be more specific about how the noise is produced. Where does the sound come from - what part of the apparatus is transmitting vibrations to the air? Is it the saw blade, or the piece of metal that is being cut? I was assuming the latter, and that it formed a coupled system, with the saw exciting a vibration in the metal plate. |
|
| |
I know this sounds awful, but I get a bit sad when I see
somebody who's REALLY good at accordion. Like "You put
all this time and effort into playing an instrument and
you had to pick that one." |
|
| |
That being said, I'm sure people who play accordions are
very happy people, they're always smiling when they
play them, but still. |
|
| |
And I don't believe they should executed without a trial.
Due process is a cornerstone of our legal system. |
|
| |
As long as "due process" consists of "Is that your accordion ? Do you want a drink or a last cigarette ? Stand in front of this post. Here's your blindfold." |
|
| |
For extra pathos, they should be made to wear the accordion so the bullets pass through it too. |
