Everything Is an Instrument	comment	Music has a long tradition behind it, and with any tradition comes traditions of form and style. For music, especially codified, formal styles like Classical Music, there are certain things that are considered musical instruments and certain things which aren't. For example, you wouldn't be surprised to hear a violin playing music in a symphony, but if you were to hear a chainsaw being revved to play a well-known melody, you would be surprised. Many people have found the idea appealing, and make an effort to make musical sounds out of things that wouldn't necessarily be considered musical. Body noises like belches and flatulence are popular, as are hitting household items like pots and pans to produce rhythms or melodies, or nudging animals so that they make sounds that resemble music. Whatever is used, it's something removed from the norm. Sometimes it's done for comedic effect, like if a drummer drops their drumsticks and then they grab a wooden spoon to keep playing. Often it's used by serious artists who want to experiment, because they have found that weird instruments make good music. Even though Classical Music is strict about the rules for old music (Mozart, Beethoven, etc) , if you are an avant-garde composer doing experimental modern music, you could write a symphony for orchestra and pots and pans. Improvised instruments are often a part of folk music and traditional music. Centuries ago, poor people who wanted to make music often had to use everyday items. There is a weird and wonderful world of folk musicians who play everyday items. In Canada, some folk musicians play rhythms with two spoons. Many folk groups create percussion by hitting everyday items like a suitcase or wooden box. Some folk musicians play the handsaw. Take a violin bow, bend your saw, and stroke the edge with the bow. It eats the horsehair like nothing else, but you can roughly reproduce the sound of a wolf howling.note You will occasionally hear the musical saw in bluegrass albums: or else an electric guitar doing an imitation of this instrument. Other odd instruments include the glass harmonica: which is based upon the common practice of stroking glass rims with a wet finger. This instrument gives you a large selection of glasses suspended over a bin of water, allowing you to play it similarly to an organ. note Unlike most improvised instruments, this one was actually taken somewhat seriously by Classical musicians in the 1700s. Unfortunately though, the glass harmonica is unreliable even on a good day. Most pieces written with it in mind are more frequently played on handbells. Some musicians do still play the glasses though, and occasionally this technique will show up in jazz or experimental music. Some of these instruments have even gone mainstream: the steel drum is a key instrument in Caribbean music. If it makes a sound, then there's a good chance someone at least tried to make it into an instrument. The Blue Danube Waltz is very popular for this kind of treatment.

If they actually build an instrument out of it, it's a Bizarre Instrument.

"Symphony Hour": Mickey Mouse conducts a flawless rendition of Von Suppe's "Light Cavalry Overture" while auditioning for a radio show. Before the big broadcast, Goofy accidentally drops all the instruments down the elevator, and the performance ends up sounding like Spike Jones. In "Steamboat Willie", after getting a goat that ate some sheet music to play "Turkey in the Straw", he proceeds to play out the melody on as many things as he can find. He runs out of inanimate things fairly quickly, and then proceeds to play it on a yowling cat (because he's pulling its tail), a duck, a group of feeding piglets by pulling their tails, the mother pig the piglets were feeding like an accordion and finally the teeth of a cow as if they were a xylophone.

At the time many people had thought whales were mute, but the record actually showed them to be majestic and magnificent creatures whose vocal sounds are an amazing and wonderful listening experience. It quickly became an enormous bestseller, and helped people to realize that these intelligent creatures ought to be protected from hunters, thus inspiring the "Save The Whales" movement.

Everything Is an Instrument / int_3df37b17	comment	Beck: In his earlier years, he often employed a Gameboy to make noise music. During one tour, he'd play "Clap Hands" on acoustic guitar, while his backing band sat around a small dinner table and provided percussion by rhythmically banging on silverware with utensils. The studio version released as a B-Side uses more normal instrumentation though. "Corvette Bummer" seems to use a sample from a motion-activated Halloween toy, which would produce a distinctive, theremin-esque wail when activated. The intro to "Soul Sucking Jerk (Reject)" includes a short lo-fi drum loop that has been sourced to a battery operated toy boombox.

Everything Is an Instrument / int_4cce0d2	comment	Razzberry Jazzberry Jam: Buddyâ€™s â€œgiftâ€� in â€œHappy Birthday House!â€� is a conglomeration of wooden boards and metal pipes which he proceeds to play with his drumsticks; this was inspired by how Louis had spend the majority of the episode attempting to stop two obnoxious noises the House Of Jam had developed: Creaky floorboards and banging pipes. In â€œBillieâ€™s Biggest Fanâ€�, Annie The Handfan is the guest â€œinstrumentâ€� of the episode, and her â€œperformanceâ€� consists of opening and closing herself to the beat. The episodeâ€™s live-action segment takes this to the extreme, as Special Guest Bob Scott drums on everything- an empty instrument case, a chair, the floor, himself... â€œSuper Soundsâ€� inverts the usual setup of this trope- rather than drumming on random objects, Buddy and Krupa try to find their â€œnew soundâ€� by drumming on themselves using Everything As A Drumstick- brushes (which is an actual drum technique, for the record), spoons, pencils, even chicken drumsticks. The guest instrument of â€œPhantom Of The Jamâ€� is Herschel, a ghostly musical saw. The episodeâ€™s live-action musician, Gene Hardy, naturally also plays the saw, and in the first live-action segment he even gives the episodeâ€™s live-action kids (non-sharp) saws for them to try to play themselves (by hitting them with pencils, for some reason, bringing back the spirit of â€œSuper Soundsâ€�). (The episodeâ€™s second live-action segment starts with more of Hardyâ€™s saw-playing but quickly devolves into the kids Banging Pots and Pans).

We do not mean the tube bells that are prevalent in orchestras, nor do we mean hand bells. He actually meant for two giant church bells tuned to C and G to be taken down and played by two percussionists with unwieldy sledgehammers. Most productions nowadays just use tube bells, but there are a few who hold true to the original.

Everything Is an Instrument / int_77c4203c	comment	One of Pepe DeluxÃ©'s guiding principles is "The more work you put into a sound or recording, the more you will like it,", and this inspires them to seek out bizarre instruments and studio equipment, or to build their own. Their 2012 album Queen of the Wave includes a Tesla Coil synthesizer solo (performed by guest musician Arc Attack), and a song, "In the Cave", performed on the Great Stalacpipe Organ (which produces sound by striking hollowed cave stalactites with rubber solenoids). In fact, while "In the Cave" is hardly the first song performed on the Organ, it is the first song ever composed specifically for the Stalacpipe Organ. The recording equipment includes the Spectrumizer and Optical Spectrum Analyzer (designed by A.D. Conrow, they convert audio signals into light waves, separate these light waves into separate frequencies, then convert the light back into audio) and the Aether Modulator (a device that converts sound to magnetism and vice versa; it was inspired by Thomas Edison's research into communicating with the dead, and built by Pepe DeluxÃ© themselves). According to their online supplementary material, Pepe DeluxÃ© also claimed to use a Psychical Predictor (another of Conrow's inventions, which allegedly tapped into the aether and displayed the spirit's answers to questions: "yes", "no", or "ask later"), but they have yet to explain how they got music from this device.

Everything Is an Instrument / int_8e8a41ec	comment	Matmos is well-known for making music out of found sounds, even making Concept Albums out of them: On their breakthrough album A Chance to Cut Is a Chance to Cure, they only used squicky medical sounds — just guess what the songs "California Rhinoplasty" and "Lipo Studio" sample most. "For Felix (And All The Rats)" from the same album — A Chance to Cut Is a Chance to Cure — uses the bowed bars of their deceased pet rat's cage as the primary sound source. It is truly heartbreaking. Ultimate Care II was an album made entirely from their Whirlpool Ultimate Care II washing machine, sequenced to mimic the cycle of an actual load of wash. Plastic Anniversary was a statement on the overuse of plastic and was composed entirely of plastic items, from ATM cards, salad bowls and plastic flutes, to percussion solos on pelican cases, a thermoplastic police riot shield and a breast implant. A special edition of the vinyl came in a recycled cardboard box; the album was made out of recycled vinyl, and a second copy of the album, included as an "art object", was rendered unplayable by it being embedded with recycled plastic bottles.

Everything Is an Instrument / int_8eb61265	comment	The ugly stick is a Newfoundland instrument made from household and tool shed items. It's typically a mop handle with bottle caps, tin cans, small bells and other noise makers, with a boot at the bottom. The instrument is played with a drum stick or notched stick. It was featured in Come from Away, during the party at the Legion, acknowledged with this line which is immediately followed by a brief solo on the ugly stick:

While most of the sounds she produces are synthetic and are based on simple waveform synths, she often crafts them from scratch into weird sound effects that make the basis of her songs.

Everything Is an Instrument / int_ad74e6e2	comment	John Cage believed this wholeheartedly, and built a career around it. His most famous work is 4'33, which given the conditions of contemporary musical performance, usually consists of the noise made by a concert hall full of people trying to be silent while a pianist sits at a piano for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. Did your cellphone go off because you forgot to silence it before stepping into the concert hall? That's okay, it's technically part of the performance itself. Cage was famous for this kind of thing. Imaginary Landscape No. 4. is for a small ensemble and 12 radios tuned to random stations; Living Room Music is intended to be played with common living room items; and other pieces using vegetables, conch shells, and the sound of fire.

He keeps trying to make music with everyday objects, only for them to be totally silent. He goes to a leaky faucet only to discover it doesn't drip after someone fixed it, he tries and fails to make a noise by pulling a spoon out of a pudding cup he dances on a mattress only to discover it's Tempur-Pedic and suppresses noise, and he throws a clarinet out the window only for it to land on a random truck full of pillows passing by. He goes so crazy that he almost swings a cat by its tail just so it'll make a pained noise that resembles music, though he steps on glass before he gets to do it.

Everything Is an Instrument / int_d1515d27	comment	According to Steven Tyler, the studio version of Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" features him using a sugar packet as percussion - they wanted to use maracas, but there weren't any in the studio, so he improvised by shaking the packet in front of the mic and having an engineer turn the volume up as much as possible so it would actually be audible over the music.

Everything Is an Instrument / int_d40d7dea	comment	As a former student of Pierre Schaeffer, Jarre used noises in his music on other albums as well. The waves and seagulls in "OxygÃ¨ne 6" are synthetic, as is the wind at the beginning of "OxygÃ¨ne 4". The rain and thunder on Equinoxe are actual pre-sampling recordings. Other iconic Jarre samples include the shutter and motorwinder of Charlotte Rampling's Nikon camera ("Souvenir Of China"), a heartbeat instead of an actual beat ("Ron's Piece") and the many, many rhythmic clock samples on Chronologie. The metallic beat in the overture of "Industrial Revolution" is synthesized again.

That "swishing" noise you hear on some of their songs ("Utne Wire Man" most notably) is really just them swinging really long aerials.

Their liner notes list everything they use from styrofoam to a jet turbine. On one early track, they added percussion by attaching microphones to Blixa Bargeld's body and having N U Unruh beat him up. Their dance club-ready song "Zampano" is made entirely out of springs, pneumatic pistons and air horns.
