Baby Bug
June 13, 2013 4:43 PM
There's been a flurry of interest in cicadas lately, what with the little critters showing up in their millions in the US of Al. Here in Japan they grace us with their noisily enthusiastic presence once a year like clockwork, so I figured I'd employ one of 'em as drummer. The bug rushes the beat like hell, but there's something about its phrasing that I couldn't resist. The video (at YouTube or Vimeo) features the indefatigable critter itself, so be sure to tune in!

ignignokt, there are various types of cicadas, with pretty widely differing calls. This one might be unique to Japan, though I'm not sure.
You might be interested in this clip I posted of the same insect, but with no music: a fine solo performance!
