    I mean, ones that you don't physically hold close to yourself. Piano and keyboard instruments seem to be the few exceptions.

    Most others are embraced. String bass, for example. You hold it nice and close to you, like your boyfriend (or girlfriend). :love:

    But you still hold them. Not sure if that counts.

    A drum set might be another example. One where the instruments are not held.

    Theremin is non-tactile and a good example.

    Actually, you hold drum sticks with your hands, and you play the base drum with your foot. The drums sit between your open legs....it's pretty intimate.

    Yes.

    Even more intimate are things like bongos that you hold and embrace, almost like holding a baby.

    But drummers aren't really musicians so that wouldn't count. :p :leaving:

    We will beat you to a pulp with drumsticks!

    And we'll do it in a nice rhythm too.

    So what you do, is you start the Laser Harp video, then at about 1:00 you start the Audio Cube video, so that they both run at the same time.


    And that's pretty cool.

    Meld that audio cube with the Rubik cube. I'd love to hear all the voices that come out of that thing while it's being solved and then the magnificent 54-part harmony at the end when it's been solved.

    Here's one that you finger. Not too intimate, I guess.

    I allow only select musicians to finger my Kaossilator.

    isn't that the whole purpose of the thumbs down option?

    i'll have to remember that line. "just let me finger you, it's not like it's intimate or anything."


    on topic, i've got nothing.
