You can choose any number of songs to use
for your bard-wire fence. In this particular
example, "Amazing Grace" has been roughly
translated into native American Navaho.
Illustration is self explanatory.
Sing, and play along as you ride the range.

The mechanics are simple - cut out metal
shapes and other musical symbols with
sharp edges, act as the barbs. The lyrics
are similar. All are individually attached,
although a machine could probably be
devised to produce long, repetitive
stretches, like the refrains or choruses. |
|
| |
No machine ! You just use the wire as
linear sheet music, as you travel along....
going anti-clockwise, means you get to
play it all in reverse of course. |
|
| |
So, the notes and words and such are just sharp and would cut you if you touched it? So it's just a "pretty" version of barbed/razor wire? |
|
| |
there's nothing sharper than a few well
chosen words.... yours can say "Don't
stand so - don't stand so close to me'' and
be accompanied by the sheet music, so
that you can pretend to be Sting of the
Police as you patrol your garden. |

Didn't need to read the author, the excruciating title gave it away. A very nice idea. [+] |
|
| |
I can picture the singing cowboy, guitar on horseback, riding fence, playing what he sees, and playing the occasional flat note as he comes to a place where the fence has been repaired. |
|
| |
don't get caught up in the chorus lines ! |
|
| |
Yeah. It'll be rag-time for your clothes. |
|
| |
// playing the occasional flat note as he comes to a place where the fence has been repaired// - The rest are all a little sharp... |
|
| |
maybe make the notes from jagged glass tubes that will resonate to the desired note, while still being *sharp*. Or, have several <hollow> posts and tension the wires to pitch to create edgetones and have the fence play the music for you. |
|
| |
Can't wait for the electrified Fender Stratocaster model... |

I had a music teacher tell me once that
Bach (i believe) once wrote a piece for
two organs where one read from the
bottom of the page up, and the other
read from the top pf the page down. I've
never been able to confirm the
exsistance of said piece though. |
|
| |
[bleh] Try looking for Bach's "crab canon". Haydn also wrote a movement of Symphony No. 47 that is palindromic. |
|
| |
i'll look into it, thanks. |
|
| |
Great idea. No matter how you slice it. |
|
| |
See last link...... I'm gradually reposting all of my illustrated ideas with links to this Tumblr respository |
|
| |
[xen], mon amie, I think it's important that you know that a
"bard" in English means a poet, rather than a musician. |
|
| |
"In medieval Gaelic and British culture, a bard was a professional story teller, verse-maker and music composer" (wiki) If you read the idea again, you will note that it's an idea for a type of sheet music, in the form of a fence, and not a musician. The illustration explains all. Click on the underlined bit and it will open, and you can sing along. ha |

Nice. I don't see any reason why each note can't play its own note. Little nitinol springs all coiling and uncoiling as the temperature changes during the day striking each in turn. |
