AWESOME GEAR GET NEW GEAR: 20 Chilean Cactus Rain Stick Musical Instrument   New!

Sometimes the best way to get creative in your music is to look into getting some instruments, noisemakers, or other tools and gadgets that can help you make music in new ways.

Here is a random product from Amazon’s Musical Instrument category for you to consider.

20″ Chilean Cactus Rain Stick Musical Instrument – New!

31VS1EYiEHL. SL160  GET NEW GEAR: 20 Chilean Cactus Rain Stick Musical Instrument   New!

  • Sturdy construction will stand up to use in the classroom, home, or band over time.
  • Much clearer sound than plastic or poorly made imitation rain sticks.
  • Twine dyed in bright Chilean color combinations wrapped around one or both ends of rain stick.

Our natural rainsticks are handcrafted in Chile and produce a mystical sound like rain trickling. After the plentiful Capado cactus plant lives about 6 decades it dies and dries out, and is then harvested, cleaned, and hollowed out by native artisans. The spines are pushed into the hard wood body, or small sticks are inserted, and many very small pebbles are sealed inside. The unique sound produced by turning the stick from end to end is mesmerizing to children and adults alike, and is still used in traditional rain ceremonies throughout South America today. Covered by our satisfaction guarantee, our imported rainsticks feature:

* sturdy construction will stand up to use in the classroom, home, or band over time
* much clearer sound than plastic or poorly made imitation rainsticks
* twine dyed in bright Chilean color combinations wrapped around one or both ends of rainstick
* sanded smooth so it is safe for use by young children (2+ years)
* SIZE OPTIONS: available in small 20″ or large 40″ lengths

SONGWRITING: John K. Samson – One Great City, Steven Page Songwriter Panel Part 4 Ships and Dip V

Here is a random YouTube lessons about songwriting. Listening to other people give tips on songwriting or talk about their songwriting process might give you some new ideas you want to try!

I am a big fan of creativity and I love watching people demonstrate their various ideas on songwriting. I thought using an automated function would be a great way to get a diverse set of ideas without my own influences showing through too much. Hopefully I have set up the filters well enough that the videos chosen by the process will be fitting for this blog.

John K. Samson of The Weakerthans singing “One Great City” at Steven Page’s songwriter panel on Ships and Dip V. NOTE: John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats provides some commentary on the song at the end.

I get really interested in discovering what other musicians dream up when it comes to their own instruments to create music.

This is a random video from youtube that is tagged with “Home Made Instrument”. Some of them might be crazy and overly simplified, and others might be elaborate and highly technical. Either way, I hope you get some kind of enjoyment and possibly even inspiration from it!

I used a plastic card case and some rubber bands to make this musical instrument. I was channeling my inner MacGyver today icon smile HOME MADE INSTRUMENT: Home Made Instrument
