If you can imagine sumatran gamelan mixed with Spike Jones and Harry Partch performed on industrial, trash, and recycled materials, (even if you can't imagine it) you'll probably like these new compositions for an ensemble of unique instruments and voices
Bio / Background
MUSIC FOR HOMEMADE INSTRUMENTS founded by Skip Laplante and Carole Weber, is an ensemble of classically trained musicians who invent, build, compose for, perform on and teach with musical instruments built from trash and found objects.
More than 20 years after some abandoned kitchenware turned irrevocably into musical objects their collection has grown to over 250 instruments. Instead of forcing them to function in any fixed tradition, MFHI has forged new musical frontiers by accepting and flaunting the inherent quirks of these odd, nontraditional instruments.
The members of the ensemble on this recording are:
Skip Laplante, Carole Weber, David Simons, Lisa Karrer, Jody Kruskal, Sima Wolf, John Bertles, Mayumi Reinhard, with added voices of Deena Burton and Roan Laplante.
