So, oddly enough, I've made a life altering decision this week: I am going to drop out of school and spend all my money instead on the instruments of Ecuador, Western Africa, and the Middle East. Then, perhaps I'll make my way to a big city and live the rest of my days playing in parks, subways, and on street corners; wow, what fun that would be. So, this week's Cool Stuff will be completed with this in mind, exploring the instruments that I'll one day give up normalcy to own.
The first is an imbabura harp, but I couldn't find anything on it :(
So, the second I was able to kill two birds with one stone: a sarangi and tabla!
The third, or rather fourth, instrument on my dream list is a sitar.
And finally (well not quite, I'd really like to have them all), I would like to round out my collection of drums with a doumbek.
Well, I suppose my dream of being a nomadic musician of obscure instruments won't come true. But, in the mean time, I'm still going to try to imagine how sweet a life of pure music could be.
