I use "lives" to mean it in the traditional sense. In other words, I'm poking fun at MadamDum's comment. I'm a musician, and a teacher.. but my life wouldn't be considered a "life" by much of society I suppose.
a girl made a video one year of her and her friend fake fighting, when another group of friends imitated ot, making them look stupid. one of the girls was so upset she took the video off youtube and never watched it again, until one night her tv flickered and played her video, she committed suicide, because you read this you have to post it to 5 videos or else she'll kill you in your bed tonight
Heh...we did something like that in 9th grade science class, only with small beakers, and not as elaborate. I think our teacher only wanted us to fill the beakers up with liquid so that something resembling the scales would be heard.
Extraordinary! Only on YOU TUBE would you be able to see and hear something as unusual as that musician...and playing the very difficult Csardas by Monti.
Thank you for sharing this excerpt. Would have been wonderful to hear the entire selection.
As a Greek I confirm that RalphHeid is right (except something minor: PHONE=VOICE ΦΩΝΗ in Greek, not SOUND). This specific "system" seems to be closer to the "Glass Harmonica" than "Glass Harp". Remember Mozart's famous "Adaggio" for "Glass Harmonica"...
Hmm... an automobile is moving itself, all you have to do is to step on the pedal. Silverware is usually called cutlery. xerox is a word made by daily use, but the real definition is to copy. And bubble gum is made of gum, but in this case gum means rubber. ;-)))
The name: XYLOPHONE is greek and means XYLO=WOOD and PHONE=SOUND. So, a xylophone can only be made of wood! If the material is not wood, then it can't be a xylophone!
thanks, i didn't know this. (though an automobile is not moving by itself, there can be by definition only one alternative, silverware is rarely made of silver, you can xerox with a Canon, a bubble gum is not gum :))) )
You can do it too, if you take a wine glass that is jus a bit tapered at the lip, wet your hand w/the wine inside or just water, and run in along the rim of the glass for a few seconds, the friction of your finger w/ the glass and water will create the sound. depending on how full of liquid the glass is, and how tapered the lip is, you get a different pitch
Beautifully played! Technically it is not a xylophone and, as far as I can tell, the goblets are not arranged like a piano keyboard. This makes it somewhat more difficult to learn.
I would be the guy to come along and push all the glasses of the table
