thing 16: gambang bambu

Gambang kayu is a xylophone used in gamelan orchestras. This thing isn't really that much like a gambang. It's made from rotten sticks (my favorite ingredient!), string, and a bamboo windchime that was on sale at Rite-Aid for $3.49. It sounds like this.

A windchime is an instrument. This is totally cheating!

I prefer to call it "recontextualization of the readymade."

Ooh, I love indigenous instruments like that. The Kalimba is another favorite of mine.
