A fan sent us this video and we thought it was especially worth sharing because it is so creative and inspiring. A group of people utilize all sorts of items in an apartment to create a truly wonderful music video. The group of six percussionists go from room to room making music with all sorts of things from light switches and pill dispensers. You really have to see it to believe it!
“Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers” is a great example of transforming ordinary things and surroundings into beautiful art…
I love this..it made me laugh a lot, especially the vaccum cleaner sounds as I HATE vaccum cleaners and the noise they make and how blooy awkward they are. The living room music is definitely the highlight for me. I’m dying to share this with my friends.
I will be listening in a different way and creating and enjoying sounds in my home for a while after experiencing this. Big thank you.
yep, absolutely loved this…must share it!!
The music they created was awesome and amazing but the flagrant disregard and violation of someone else’s space and property kept invading my enjoyment of the music. The lack of emotion of any kind on their faces only added to that feeling. I wish they had done the same thing using a different scenario. Yes, I know it was scripted but that doesn’t change the additional message it sends when viewed by the others,adolescents especially, who would think this might be cool to try and duplicate. At first after the kitchen scene, I thought this was so clever going into someone’s house and then leaving without that person knowing anyone had been there; but it went downhill after that. I struggled to just focus on the music.
I think part of the peice is supposed to be tongue-and-cheek commentary on social norms, though. It’s not meant to be malicious like that. Lighten up!! Much enjoyed. Would love to have friends creative enough to mess around an compose rhythyms with ordinary stuff.
good very intriguing cool ,reminded me of children first playing in the kitchen when they are months old which is their first music system.bad for adolesents as they dirty the place in the end,a shok forthe people who are living in.hope watchers do not try it out as it would cause lot of trouble later.
Simply awesome….thinking outside the box…improvisation…lateral thinking….and this why adults or children love to explore our environments with what we have!!!!
I beleive that writing gets us further.
I started my own ‘rewriting’ project. Basically you rewrite people’s lives, and help them change parts of their past through fiction in order to empower in the actual present.
it’s not therapy per se, more of an art project, but it might have therapeutic side-effects. In any case I’d be willing to work with therapists on that.
