Todays music maker is dish soap. Long have I gazed on the little bubbles it sometimes makes as I squeeze it just so to hear that sweet little whistling, and a slight pop. As I washed a mug this morning it cried out to me, ” I have a song in me!!! Take me!!!” I did the best I could to capture everything it was saying in it’s watery squeaky voice. I’ve also had too much coffee to early without anything to eat. I may be hallucinating.

Anyway, here it is. The goal with these things is to take just one otherwise “ignored” item and to try and milk it for all it’s interesting sounds, or at least enough to make some sort of music. Anything in the piece comes from that object specifically. It’s a lot of fun to try and do a few of these a week, it’s like doing push ups in morning. Geek push ups. If you have an something interesting sounding at home and you make something with it, send it to me and I’d be proud to post it here. Then again, I think everything sounds interesting, so just make music.
