  • Off The Wall Instrumentation Notions…..

    Well, you’ve used a washboard, chair, etc some other off the wall instrumentation improvisations in the recordings of songs, what all ” other off the wall ” would you like to consider trying/tackling/ using for just that one unique added touch in a song that you’ve been wanting to or catches your fancy and makes you think…. ” Yeah, that’d be Groovy sounding” ?

    Years ago there was a band/musical that I recall hearing/seeing on TV called ” Stomp” I think, and they used pipes, garbage bins, etc for their sound….

    Hi Jacki!

    Oh, the possibilities are endless! Both our drum teachers growing up loved doing “Stomp” inspired ensemble pieces with us and over the years we have done performances with brooms, cookie jars, cooking knives and wooden spoons, newspapers and rubbish bins. It was always so much fun and we’ve carried over that tradition into the recording studio quite a lot of times as you pointed out. 🙂

    One of our new songs that will be on the upcoming album will include air bubbles being blown into water – we just did some recordings for that last week. That’s an unexpectedly cool sound!

    Who knows what else we will come up with before the record is finished but so far that’s probably the most “off the wall” sound we’ve caught on tape 🙂
