Happy Hopping Dance - Zwanski a.k.a. Birdyman

A happy hopping song, just for fun :-)
Most of the 'melodic' sounds are home-made samples, e.g. from a plastic 'didg' tube, but - having recorded this in 1996 - I can't remember how I made most of the other sounds anymore...

Clips from the Library of Congress archives and www.archive.org, a great source of 'public domain' materials.

Starring in this funny little movie from 1902:
Joseph Hart as the dancing grandpa
Carrie DeMar as the lovely young lady
Chub & Bunt as the boys

Cool sounds. Good editing. Is that an old Casio drum machine?

Thanks Jiggy :-)

The percussion comes from various 'midi-machines', but there's no Casio drum computer among them ... the rest of the 'instruments' are mostly self-sampled sounds, with a 1.5" diameter plastic pipe performing as didgeridoo :-)

Indeed happy music :-)

The old footage fits rather well, nice job!
