Jack Campin Invention / discovery of instruments (24) RE: Invention / discovery of instruments 17 Feb 22

Varese's "Deserts" was earlier, the electronic bits added in 1952 when he first got the use of a good tape recorder.

Finding new principles for acoustic sound production is hard. One that comes to mind is those clicker toys with a pressed metal shell shaped like a frog or a bug and a spring steel tongue you press with your thumb to drive the grown-ups nuts. No reason why you couldn't make an mbira-like instrument that way.
