An Odd Musical Instrument | The Glass Harmonica

   This time, I'm going to write about a musical instrument that make confusing sounds. I have to use this adjective because this sounds aren't in human ear sound frequency range and it causes our brains to go mad. If you listen glass harmonica from your computer or mobilephone, you will not be affected. Because it isn't the same as listening live. 
   Benjamin Franklin invented this musical instrument in 1761. 
   Glass harmonica consists of around 40 glass bowls. This bowls are rotating by a foot pedal. Instrumentalist play this instrument by their wet hands. This instrument doesn't make loud sounds that's why it couldn't be famous :( They must play with a microphone in concert halls.
   There are around 200 pieces for Glass Harmonica. For instance, Tchaikovsky composed "Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker" for Glass Harmonica.
    Hope you will not go mad after watching 😁

My Favourite Music Band: MODEL

Resim
    You definitely heard one of these band's songs. In them, everyone finds something about their own. I think this entry was too emotional but it must be.

In final form, the drummer was Kerem Sedef and the guitarist was Okan Işık.         Th eir music albums are : "Perili Sirk" (2009), "Diğer Masallar" (2011), "Levla'nın Hikayesi" (2013). Although they didn't have a lot of albums, they composed impressive songs and people loved them. Also they played single songs with famous musicians like Emre Aydın, Ozan Doğulu. MODEL's first hit song was "Pembe Mezarlık". We can say that they became ...

The Most Dangerous Musical Instrument | Singing Tesla Coil

Resim
    In my previous blog, I wrote about a fantastic musical instrument. It didn't need touching to play. Here is more fantastic instrument: Singing Tesla Coil (or Zeusaphone). Zeusaphone doesn't need an instrumentalist. But, of course it's need to a programmer and usually work with electrical signals that computer's send. People sometimes play it live.    As you know, tesla coils work with blue spark. This instrument modulates the spark sounds (signals that send from computer or people provide it) and creates interesting sounds. If there are two zeusaphones, it's possible to playing chords like guitar. When it make sounds, it also do light show. I think it's the most impressive side. Although it looks like crazy, may be dangerous to stay around directly where it is working. Because if the spark come to you, you may die. The people who play it live are wearing special outfits.     You will remind when you heard its sound. Let's listen a famous me...
