"What do you collect? Work with a collection of objects you have in your home (or borrow a friend's if you like.)"I don't collect musical instruments, but a friend of mine who is moving into my house brought over a couple of instruments today. She had the idea that we should create some music using this "collection". Neither of us actually play the instruments we had in possession, but we tried it out. We had: a guitar, a "kalimba" (which was in a very old looking box that says, "a new musical instrument from Africa"), and an egg shaker (which was actually left at my house from a previous housemate). I also have a harmonica, but unfortunately, we couldn't work that one into the song.
We made a little recording of a very old song, "Wildwood Flower", in GarageBand. I played the guitar and the kalimba (recorded on separate layers), and my friend sang and played the egg shaker. Unfortunately, though, I can't figure out how to upload a music file to this thing! So, here is a link to the song that we covered.
If anyone has any sage advice on how to upload an AIF music file, please do share.
Also, if anyone would like to teach me how to play the guitar (or the harmonica), please do share that as well! I regret having given up the guitar so hastily when I was a rambunctious 14-year-old.
