Jenny Omnichord - Do You Know Karate Ft. Tony Dekker

"Jenny Omnichord" is a solo side-project of 23 year-old Jenny Mitchell, vocalist, song-writer and multi-instrumentalist for Guelph, Ontarios noted young indie band The Barmitzvah Brothers. In fact, it was the purchase of an omnichord in Jennys fathers thrift store 8 years ago that set her along this path, its carnivalesque, slightly Hebraic sounds leading two young gentile girls to pick the somewhat ironic "Barmitzvah Brothers" as the name for their band.

And while Jenny subsequently branched off into other instruments, among them bass and electric guitars, trumpet, banjo, and keyboards, it is the omnichord that has always remained her first love, a slightly geeky invention played by almost no one, capable of a myriad of sounds and effects, and for some reason scorned or unknown or ignored for almost all of its life. Well, now, it is time for the omnichord to take its rightful position among the upper echelons of musical instruments, and Jenny shall be the liberator who shall set it free, the vessel through whom this most intricate of the keys shall finally achieve the appreciation and respect that it so richly deserves.

Or not. Come what may, Jenny will still continue to love and play it, will try to learn even more of its many and hidden secrets, and will keep trying to bring its joyful wonders to the world, whether we are ready or not. So be prepared to smile, to be amazed and to be bewildered. The omnichord is coming, and we will all be the better for it.

Your voice is just perfect in this song.

I just got back on my Omnichord and am loving it...

this is really really good . it does exactly what i wish alot of similar music would , and never does.too many times "indie girl music" has a tendency to substitute annoying and crappy for unique and just plain forcibly weird for interesting . i found this by accident looking at omnichord videos and i really love it ..

How does this rule so much?
