guitar, box, cigar, piezo, pick

One evening a few months ago I was having a play on the 3 string CBG Mr Random Writings made me. I was messing about using lots of delay and accidentally hit the box and really liked the sound. This got me thinking and I decided I wanted to record something just using what people often call the “unwanted noise” that a piezo picks up. I mean who decides what is unwanted noise???….. what are weeds???…which animals are pests etc etc.Anyway I finally got round to recording something : -) I didn’t “play” the guitar in the usual sense, but was tapping the box, tapping the strings, sliding my finger along the strings and singing into a sound hole.The film is of a beautiful mystical place called Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey in North Wales

Unwanted noise...??? No way!!! Those fantastic sounds are used usually e.g. in progressive rock...! That beautiful and sad black and white video complete musical elements!

Thanks everyone!!...and Warren, I'm so pleased you spotted the panning...after I done it I thought I'd probably wasted my time as no one would notice!!
