General: Unusual performances in music
February 21st, 2008
The tools of the trade for weird performances: guitars, in this case. My heading images for each article should be a puzzle sometime.
What
There are times you’ll just stumble upon an act, a song, or just a way a musician looks when playing a song that will either fascinate you, make you laugh, or just surprise you. In this post, I’m linking to a few of them, in things that range from playing weird instruments (see Michel Lauziere), to playing them in an unusual way.
The Videos
- Giant Flying V guitar solo
- By two bowes [sic] - A man playing the cello with two bows at the same time.
- Mario Bros Theme by singing tesla coils
- Not as silly as others, but Justin King really pushes guitar technic way too far.
The very well known Michel Lauzière has many pieces:
- “The Toreador Song” from “Carmen” using 300 glass bottles.
- Compilation of many things from Mr. Lauzière, going from a one-man band to playing with cups
- Bike Horn pot-pourri
Add yours if you want.
I love these guys
