I have an Omnichord.

does that thing actually play music or is it just kind of close to pleasant to listen to? that's all i've really witnessed, which, granted has not been a lot.

It's like a weird sort of guitar harp keyboard combo thing that has a few set background beats you can play behind your own strumming.
It plays music.
Is it pleasant? I don't know. I got it because it's crazy weird.

If you know what chords you should be playing, it's dead simple to strum in key.

Big if.

Cody, I can spell you on bass if you get tired or thirsty.

I'll play/sing whatever needs playing/singing (no reeds, though).

Hell, I'd just come to see the Omnichord. I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid!

So cool, Kaci...

damn, I was gonna volunteer my bass skills. Can I rap?

Dude, by all means, take the bass. Stern and I will do our Wendy and Lisa impression.

I play the trumpet...badly, and I own a bass I don't know how to play. I also love to sing and improvise. Perhaps I could help with backup vocals if you've got a full cast already.

If you need someone on a triangle that plays a d-note (and backup vocals), I got your back. (I'm completely serious, too! - http://www.myspace.com/dangerville)

If someone hadn't snagged Patrick Elkins' nose-whistle, I'd have your back on that, too.

Also, the Omnichord is awesome!

Britney from Transistor Radio Sound (Denver - http://www.myspace.com/transistorradiosound - and her solo project http://www.myspace.com/marriedinberdichev) uses one. I saw her at a house show in Phoenix and

it / she / they

was / were

superb.

Whoops - that should actually be http://www.myspace.com/dangervilleimprov . The other Dangerville is a rockabilly band with no sign of a triangle player - their loss.

mpbrockman · Post by **mpbrockman** » August 29th, 2007, 3:19 pm

Besides omnichord and D triangle. What instruments will there be? Should I bring a keyboard, a guitar, slide whistle - anything? What's needed?

ratliff · Post by **ratliff** » August 29th, 2007, 4:23 pm

Michael, we'll have a keyboard set up. You and Stern can duke it out for pianistic supremacy, and then once you've bloodied each other sufficiently I'll step in to knock you both off.

I just noticed that the anthropomorphic Omnichord in that ad ...

all of its knobs and twisty things are below its waist.

"Make music with me," indeed.
