"Orchestra on a 2 by 4"

*I understand you're fond of music...
I have arranged a little surprise for you...Surprise?*
*Musical tastes may differ, but the urge to enjoy is universal.*
*Every interesting rock song is a new universe of sound.*

The Amazing Chapman Stick ...an Orchestra on a 2 by 4

*Anything you can think of, I think is what the game is...I like to experiment*

BTM STICK Invented by the legendary EMMETT CHAPMAN, this instrument is a bizarre mutation of guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. Ten strings on a 2 by 4...

Many use the standard touch tap method of playing, but there are those that pick it and pluck it and wah it and slide it and pound it

*I don't have talent so I just, I get up earlier*

The amazing Chapman Stick, an Orchestra on a 2 by 4 There's only one rule....there are NO RULES

Orchestra on a 2 by 4

*It's really important not to get bogged down with all the technology, when I go into the studio, I tend to have as much fun as I can*

*There's no accounting for taste*
*I understand you're fond of music*
*Correctamundo!*



The original OBE Mix appears only on the Tappistry CD, sample-free except for a sound FX of cartoon helicopter.
