[BBTC Ride_calendar] bicycle holiday music
From this week's roadbikerider.com
cool holiday music on the web, thanks to Specialized. Cool because not only is it well done, it's done with bike parts. An experimental musician (and cyclist) named Flip Barber is credited with the production, which, according to BikeBiz.com, is "stunning." It's a rendition of Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" from "The Nutcracker Suite." The glockenspiel and clarinet melody is created with spokes. The cello and violin pizzicatos are made by plucking derailleur cables. The tingly triangle is a tap on a disc brake. The percussion is a medley of shifting, coasting, braking, clipping into pedals, back-spinning, and air pssss-ing out of tires. You can hear the result at http://www.specialized.com/bc/microsite/holiday/index.html Enjoy DW &MM
