Kitchen Sink Music Vol. 4: Let That Beat Ride - Lyrical God

Kitchen Sink Music is our ongoing series focusing on using non-musical items to create songs.

Lyrical God (a.k.a Julius Wright) literally slams out his song Let That Beat Ride with nothing but his voice, a biro, and a school desk. He is known for using his percussive talents to drum on just about any surface he can (from trash cans to street signs) to create unique beats. Reminds me a bit of the singing oil barrels of Bongo Joe. It's a raw and booming performance and the very definition of Kitchen Sink Music.

Kitchen Sink Music Vol. 3: Pop Music - Ross Harris

Punk balloons. This is what you are about to receive. A thirty second blast of non-music music involving pops, bangs, whimpers, and helium.

It's been said before, but damn that should have been longer. Filmmaker and VFX artist Ross Harris made this short but sweet number with his daughter several years back and it's been doing viral rounds ever since. Balloons are proving to be surprisingly musical objects.

Kitchen Sink Music Vol. 2: PVC Pipe Medley - Snubby J

PVC pipe ...Xylophones? Malletophone? Paddlewhackypipeorgan? Things. Have been around for awhile, made particularly well known by the antics of The Blue Man Group.

Snubby J builds PVC instruments at home, he has named this particular gargantuan RimbaTubes. This video of Snubby performing a medley of popular hits at the DRS Talent Show went viral in late 2010 but the fun and musical awesomeness remain, and is firmly in the spirit of Kitchen Sink Music- making melodies out of things which have no dang business making melodies.

Kitchen Sink Music Vol. 1 - Balloon Bass and Box

Kitchen Sink Music will showcase the very best in making music out of things have no business making music. To kick off these marvellous musical feats of ingenuity we have: THE BOX AND THE BALLOON.

The balloon boxers have put out an album for FREE for all of your rubbery wood slappin' needs. And I think we all have those needs.
