One evening a few months ago I was having a play on the 3 string CBG Mr Random Writings made me. I was messing about using lots of delay and accidentally hit the box and really liked the sound. This got me thinking and I decided I wanted to record something just using what people often call the “unwanted noise” that a piezo picks up. I mean who decides what is unwanted noise???….. what are weeds???…which animals are pests etc etc.
Anyway I finally got round to recording something : -) I didn’t “play” the guitar in the usual sense, but was tapping the box, tapping the strings, sliding my finger along the strings and singing into a sound hole.
The film is of a beautiful mystical place called Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey in North Wales

Great job as usual with the video, sound, and playing. Yes, it was unusual, but it was beautiful.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

thanks Colin, Ben and Norm....Colin right I'm going to try listening to them together!...and mmm don't know why my things are often short. I think once I get the sound I want I think, "right that's it" and want to go on to something else!!

Hauntingly beautiful. Both visually and sonically. My only regret is that it was so short. I could have listened to another three or four minutes of it! Fantastic Belinda. You always push the envelope and come up with the must diverse and original stuff!

whoa! So i just listened to this played at exactly the same time as Tophat Commode's boxharp vid. Very cool unintentional(?) orchestration there! I of course dig your vid with credit on its own as well.
