I should have guessed that if wanted to electrify a tub cello, you’d know all about the guy with the shovel! I love what people can do to turn a tool or appliance into a musical instrument!
I am a percussionist since the age of four, once made a living at it. I have produced ten different unique sounds from a plastic five gallon bucket. And another ten from a 2.5 gallon bucket. Put the two together and you have a full set.
Funky sounds from unusual places is a fetish for me. When I was in the garbage business I used to take a pair of sticks and play on garbage trucks. It is incredible how many different unique sounds you can get from everyday things around you. lol
But I also play a little string and keyboard. So I “dabble” in about anything strange and unusual. I absolutely love “out of the box” stuff that makes music! And like this original post, I like anyone who repurposes instruments to play scores and covers for out of the box music the instrument is not traditionally designed for.
Check out this young gal... Cool stuff... lol :)
