Picture an ordinary piano keyboard. Nice job.
Now, instead of the multitude of minature mallets striking a series of strings to promptly produce any number of notes, imagine tiny springloaded knife-like surfaces scraping various slender lengths of chalkboard, to effect the characteristc screeches
in uncharacteristic harmonic unity.
Anti-music to flout the bourgeois conventions of the establishment? Or some sort of powerful new sonic assault weapon? I don't care, I want one.
P.D.Q. Bach

Fortunately, PDQ Bach's alter ego is still with us - touring in the US, in fact. [jutta, May 29 2006]

My teeth hurt just thinking about this. No idea what to give this, so I'll have to get back to you when I've stopped trying to suck my gums. |

The last bit of music I made used the sound of guitar strings being scratched by a pick down their entire length. [+] |
|
| |
if it made a smell as well, it could be a
scratch and sniff - a + for anything that
makes an interesting noise which can be
described as music. |

I'm pretty sure this is baked, I think they call it an accordion. |

If only this had been developed during P.D.Q. Bach's time! He would have had a ball with it. |

Normally I am an easy pastry for musical instruments. This one, however, makes me want to go invent the herring gatling. |

[jutta] PDQ Bach. I don't understand it. Isn't it sacreilegious? (That coming from me). I love Bach! I really don't get this dude's performance. |
|

I don't get the idea, either, but I stand back. no vote. |

[wagster] try using a quarter instead of a pick.(not good for the strings!) It works best w/ the slide (If any of you ever meet me in real life, I really, really suck at the guitar now. I haven't played in years. It used to be the love of my life, but then came kids. (& a broken finger/tendon I never got fixed.) |
