The first time I saw it, I thought about playing a drumkit and whistling a bassline at the same time, with someone else on guitar and vocals, making a full rock sound with two people. But then I was too lazy to try it.
- embedding-shape 25d agoThere been some people doing the whole "one man band" thing with a back pack drum, guitar and harmonica. I bet someone crazy enough could do one instrument per limb + harmonica and maybe even a theremin with some remaining appendage too.
- cousin_it 25d agoI think looking cool matters a lot in live music, maybe even more than the actual music. Blowing into a harmonica while carrying a backpack full of cutlery looks really dorky. But two people with drums+whistling and guitar+vocals can be made to look cool.
- jefftk 25d agoThis is why I love playing for contra dancing: no one cares what the musicians look like.
- isomorphic 25d agoLaurie Anderson, with some of her bespoke live MIDI instruments (no actual cutlery AFAIK), got pretty close.
