I made a blog about this, but thought it would be easier to listen to if I released it.
Ever wondered what your house would look like if you could see its sounds? No, probably not. Neither have I. But I did walk around the house the other day tapping stuff. In this piece you will hear music made from walls, doors, windows, picture frames, tourist trays, the futon (that's right, the futonophone makes a great base drum) and the bar heater (sounds like a jet plane when you slow it down).
Why you might ask? Because I was wondering if you could make music just by tapping stuff. It turns out you can. Actually, the rythms are surprisingly driving. This house rocks, all it needed was an opportunity to express its inner rythm.

weeeee, this is fantastic man. Did you just record the individual sounds and sequence them?
Very well done. Sounds like a Blueman concert...

some other great sounds-ever take an oven tray and suspend it by string, hold the string up to your ears, and then tap it? star wars!
water in a mason jar is wicked, too.
neat arrangement

Thanks for the comments all. To answer them.
zfigs: yup, recorded the individual sounds on an mp3 player with a nt3 mic. Then sequenced the crap out of them. But (other than speeding up or slowing down the waveform) did not change the original sound.
astroid: I made the piano out of a piano. It's my main instrument, I have a number of piano pieces recorded on my blog (see link in original post). The piano on this track was a piece I recorded that I was unhappy about. So I spliced it up and decided to add it to the bubble house. Thanks for the sampling tips astroid, good ideas there.
lunatinker: the reason you thought you already responded to this, was because I am learning the ropes on this site, and accidently posted this music as a blog instead of a release. So I went back recently and released it. You commented on the blog previously. And I commented that you had busted me! using the piano... tut tut. Thought it was a good use of a piano recording that sucked though.
