I'm trying to figure out the mechanics of this... |
|
| |
The mechanics are simple - cut out metal
shapes and other musical symbols with
sharp edges, act as the barbs. The lyrics
are similar. All are individually attached,
although a machine could probably be
devised to produce long, repetitive
stretches, like the refrains or choruses. |
|

Please bear with me, I'm quite tired this morning... so there's a machine in the fence posts that plays the music depicted in notes along the fence's length? So... does each section play only the notes along that section of fencing, or is there a motion sensor that plays as you pass? |
|
| |
No machine ! You just use the wire as
linear sheet music, as you travel along....
going anti-clockwise, means you get to
play it all in reverse of course. |
|
| |
So, the notes and words and such are just sharp and would cut you if you touched it? So it's just a "pretty" version of barbed/razor wire? |
|
| |
there's nothing sharper than a few well
chosen words.... yours can say "Don't
stand so - don't stand so close to me'' and
be accompanied by the sheet music, so
that you can pretend to be Sting of the
Police as you patrol your garden. |

Didn't need to read the author, the excruciating title gave it away. A very nice idea. [+] |
|

So *you* play an instrument while reading the music along the fence? Not a bad idea... but what instrument is it tuned to? A flute is going to sound very different than, say, a clarinet reading the same music. Not a bad idea, though, and I like it if only for the look. (I bunned this as I was typing my last anno, by the way) |

I can picture the singing cowboy, guitar on horseback, riding fence, playing what he sees, and playing the occasional flat note as he comes to a place where the fence has been repaired. |
|
| |
don't get caught up in the chorus lines ! |
|
| |
Yeah. It'll be rag-time for your clothes. |
|
| |
// playing the occasional flat note as he comes to a place where the fence has been repaired// - The rest are all a little sharp... |
|
| |
maybe make the notes from jagged glass tubes that will resonate to the desired note, while still being *sharp*. Or, have several <hollow> posts and tension the wires to pitch to create edgetones and have the fence play the music for you. |
|

Can't wait for the electrified Fender Stratocaster model... |

I had a music teacher tell me once that
Bach (i believe) once wrote a piece for
two organs where one read from the
bottom of the page up, and the other
read from the top pf the page down. I've
never been able to confirm the
exsistance of said piece though. |
|

[bleh] Try looking for Bach's "crab canon". Haydn also wrote a movement of Symphony No. 47 that is palindromic. |
|
| |
i'll look into it, thanks. |
|
| |
Great idea. No matter how you slice it. |
