smilinggoat's Journal: Amazonian Piano

Today's edition of Slashdot links to an interesting story on bringing a baby grand piano to the Amazonian Wai Wai tribe. Supposedly they are a very musical tribe, with beautiful chorals. I wonder how having a western instrument would affect their sonority and harmony. Be interesting to gradually listen to their harmonies change. I wonder if they were never exposed to it, a 4-5-1 progression would eventually evolve from the timbre and tuning. However, this theory will be impossible to test. Damn near everyone in this world is westernized either in their clothing, their attitudes, their culture, or other.

So Trevor and I are moving into 619. Wow. Crazyassness. Just gotta get D3LM4R the fuck out. I'm so excited, we may put Pat and Danny's beds into our room under our lofts and sleep 4 to our room with a party room in good old 620, but we'll see. However, I'm kinda worried...well not really . I can just see mass chaos and failing grades ensuing. If I can get my hands on a cheap work desk, I'll move my music and computer gear, my project studio into the closet. Pretty dope. But all will have to wait and see....
