Doorstop Ditty (2007):

Run length: 38 seconds.

Category: Music Video

Summary: A music video featuring the percussive sound of a vibrating doorstop as well as other percussion and synth sounds. "Experimental Music" is probably the genre that best characterizes it.

Misc. Comments: It was a fun "instrument" to work with, not the most versatile in the world, but it had a unique sound. Even among doorstops of the same model/brand, there is considerable variation in the character of the noise they make. Plucking the tighter ones will produce a much shorter and somewhat higher vibration, whereas the looser ones will emit a lower pitched tone and fade off much more gradually. The one I used in the video was relatively loose.
