The use of the typewriter as a percussion instrument in music. Other noises besides the clicking of keystrokes may be used, such as the carriage return bell.
Perhaps not as common nowadays, since typewriters have been replaced by quieter computer keyboards. However, the faster you type on a keyboard, the harder you're likely to hit the keys, and thus the louder it's likely to be. You'd need to be pretty good to make music with it, but it might be possible.
Often overlaps with Rapid-Fire Typing.

The theme for Central Services in Brazil underscores the bouncy instrumentals of Aquarela do Brasil with a typewriter. This proved popular enough for the track to become a frequent example of Recycled Trailer Music.
