Strange Sounds - Offbeat Instruments and Sonic Experiments in Pop
Mark Brend : Strange Sounds - Offbeat Instruments and Sonic Experiments in Pop
"Strange Sounds tells the story behind history's most popular recordings that used unusual musical instruments. It includes some of the biggest names in pop music from the 1950s to the present, explaining and illustrating what instruments were used-their history, how they were played, how the artists came to choose them-and in the process uncovering a parallel history of pop music, one where guitars and drums make way for claviolines, ocarinas and stylophones. The accompanying CD includes demonstration
recordings of many of the instruments documented."
