E-bow on a banjo!

That's really cool.

Agreed. very cool.

That reminds me of The Penguin Cafe Orchestra, the late Simon Jeffes would have definitely composed something along those lines.
Really cool tune and nice to play the bass along to it.
What about Newton's gravitional constant, the spin of various sub atomic particles, Planck's constant,log values...would produce some weird tunes!

The idea reminds me of a friend's rutbuster/riff generator; phone numbers...open the phone book and put your finger on a number, which become fret positions...guaranteed you will play note combinations you wouldn't think of...I actually used my old drummer's phone number as a song...

The only thing I wish he added was some bass.

My all time favourite of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra is Perpetuum Mobile

 
Simon Jeffes is a genius sadly missed, I wish I was half the musician he was.

Thanks Terry; I hadn't heard that one in a long time.

The pie was good too!
