Body Music 1
June 4, 2008 10:31 PM
For this month's WILDCARD Challenge, all sounds made using only my body: cheek tapping, belly slapping, finger snapping and vocal utterances. Clocks in at a crisp 1:29, and takes its inspiration in roughly equal parts from eefing and katajjaq.

Awesome - a little Miriam Makeba in there (I'm thinking the beginning of When We Were Kings which just knocks me onto my ass every time I see it.) and I loved the snap! at the end.

Damn, I just revisited that eefing post linked just above, and I'll be damned if there ain't but only one or two links still alive. That's depressing. Goddam internet's too ephemeral...

Also, I just realized that now we can add tags to the songs of others, I'm pretty sure it didn't used to be like that. As a test I added the NotInEnglish tag (technically it's not in English, after all), but if you don't want it there, let me know and I'll take it out.

Tha's pretty damn solid there, flapjax. You didn't even resort to using any bodily function sounds! Congrats---and yes, very good inspiration!

Well, you know, I'm gettin' old, snsranch, and my body just don't function like it used to!
And micayetoca, yeah, the tags thing: we're able to add tags to any post by one of our contacts. And I chuckled at the NotInEnglish tag you added here. Appropriate!
