I saw this book&CD at the Barnes&Noble music section, and the sticker on the front mentioned that tracks by Tom Waits and Aphex Twin were included... I was already at my limit that day so I didnt get it, but can anyone tell me if its any good - even their website makes nary a mention ?? Here is some more info: __________________________________________ Orbitones, Spoon Harps & Bellowphones: Experimental Musical Instruments by Bart Hopkins (Ellipsis Arts) http://www4.viaweb.com/relaxationco/ellipsisarts.html A California musicologist combines a lavishly illustrated book with a 16-track CD chronicling all manner of homemade instruments and the music that's been made with 'em. Includes contributions by everyone from Tom Waits and the Aphex Twin to Leonard Solomon (inventor of the majestic bellowphone) and Colin Oford (master of the mouthbow).
