thing 10: glass garbage gong

February 10th, 2008

It’s not very complicated, but it’s one of my favorite instruments-of-the-day so far! I found this piece of glass– I think it was a coffee table once– in the garbage. Suspended from jute and struck with a rubber mallet, it sounds like this. (Use headphones or good speakers if you can - the stereo effects are great.)

I think I should tie it to a frame in three directions so it doesn’t swing around so much.
