the gretest instrument of all

...the outside world. i know some of you nerds might not
know much about the outside world, but lemme tell you it is
great. the other day, i was listening to the first track of
drukqs (with earphones so confortable i couldnt even feel
them), standing outside in the rain, and it was so nice, it
was like the music and world joined. also, the outside wrld
can make a crap song good- 'sunset bird of prey' by fatboy
slim is a terrible song normally, but during a thunderstorm
is rocks.....

The greatest instrument of all is the piano. The notes sound
sooo nice if played properly.

Still I'm a bit partial to drum machines (even though I know
techincally, they're precussion not instruments as such) and
synths meself.

time.

the outside world is home the best sounds. Rain, birds
singing, trees russling and a train going past at 70mph.

Beautiful.

The human boday has got some great sounds.... like when the
sound you hear/feel when your elbow creaks and the clicking
of your shoulders when you rotate them and the sound of your
hair rusleing when you scratch it. Maybe someone here can
make some tunes out of that if they can get hold of the
samples?

That'll be wicked.... anyone wanna try it?

boday? WTF is a boday? Is it a disfunctional bum washer or
is it a national holiday in memory of Ali G readdy for when
he dies?

oh well

Ha ha, I wanted to sample my elbow the other day when I was
shaking up some sauce. To get a "clicky" drumbeat.

the piano is capable of the greatest range of emotion. if
you listen to blues piano and then like betoven(spelled
wrong) and then ben folds five. the fascinating thing is
the keys will always sound the same its just how they are
played.
guitar is second in line for range of emotions it can
portray. but guitar comes in second also because it
sometimes requires other sounds(distortion and other
effects) to keep interesting and the piano does it all on
its own so the piano is a bad ass.
i love all sounds they.

Don't worry, I'm about to make a "beeping sound" in simsynth
to use in my multimedia project, just to get marks for
making my own sound :)

The human vocal chords of course. Non-musical instrument:
the willy.

I would also have to say piano...though it's more a
personal taste issue. One of the most beautiful and
powerful sounding instruments ever.

I'm also partial to the 808 drum machine.

Synthesizers can convey more range of emotions than
piano--as they can produce piano sounds as well as
synthesizer sounds. ;)
