Dear Darcy, If you're interested in finding out a lot more about new sound sources and unusual instruments like the waterphone, I suggest visiting the Experimental Musical Instruments site <http://www.windworld.com/emi/>. EMI was a small but invaluable magazine published from 1985 up until last year. You can find a lot of interesting articles on electroacoustic instruments in the EMI web page, through the listing their back issues (which are still available). The EMI homepage also has a large number of links to various instrument inventors and resources on the web. There's also an interesting discussion list called "oddmusic," with a focus on invented instruments. There's been a of talk and tips on "circuit-bending" there. You can access it through e-groups.com: <http://www.egroups.com/group/oddmusic> Best regards, Eric Darcy Clark wrote: > I was going to ask what a waterphone was, but found a webpage describing > one : > http://www.spacebeat.com/waterphone/ > > must be a great instrument to loop I would think.....cool > > Speaking of interesting instruments - has anyone heard or seen the Blue > Man Group do their thing - I saw them in NYC recently and they had a > 3-piece with a zither playing getting some great sounds and quite > possibly using looping also.
