Gravikords

Noah talks with Bart Hopkin about his CD and book set entitled "Gravikords, Whirlies & Pyrophones", devoted to experimental musical instruments. Some sounds are generated with readily available objects - like flowerpots and junk metal; others are more complex inventions. Hopkin takes us on a tour of some of the wonderful and surprising sounds that are included on the CD.
