help me find bowed saw/glass music

johnnywinternoshow · 04.13.2006, 08:56 PM

Anyone know any albums or artists which feature the saw heavily or those guys that play the rims of glasses?

Neutral Milk Hotel's "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" has some pretty nice bowed saw work in it. I can only pick it out in 2 songs but you might have a better ear for it.

Giardia put out an LP of modern compositions on glass harmonica by Simon Wickham-Smith a few years ago; it is a total masterpiece, especially since it uses such an incredible instrument to make sheets and layers of beautiful frequencies instead of novelty versions of "Baby Elephant Walk" or some other such nonsense.
If you can track it down, it is truly essential. It's called " Giladji."

Edit:
Found a copy here!

I know James Taylor used saws, 2x4's, hammers, etc. on the track,
"Little David". Yes, I'm into James Taylor. The early years obviously.

Yeah I saw them live when they opened up for Modest Mouse in 2000. I hadn't really heard them before and they really blew my mind!
