| 01/24/2008: "Eerie Serendipity with the Vegetable Orchestra"
|
For the past couple of days I've been thinking about Youtube and ideas for instrumental video clips that might prove interesting to a wide audience. For example, it's astounding that the Beatboxing Flute Dude has drawn so much attention-- this clip has passed the ten-million view mark! Now, I'm not about to try beatboxing, but just standing around playing a bamboo flute wouldn't quite cut the mustard; we'll have to come up with something more uniquely striking and bizarre.
Last night I actually dreamed of making a variety of wind instruments out of ordinary vegetables, and since awakening this morning have been thinking That's it! Spent much of the morning brainstorming on a few specific ideas-- wait 'till you see what's in store for burdock!
Imagine my surprise when this arrived in the email inbox today, forwarded by musical friends. It's eerie serendipity! Or perhaps a better term is synchronicity.
Thing is, I think I actually could do a lot better than that with the wind instruments. We'll see.
