Alice,

One of my favourite pieces of modern music is called Music for a Found Harmonium. I don't know why it's called that, but I assume (rightly or wrongly) that it was composed on a harmonium. It was performed by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra for the Australian film called Malcolm (about 20 years ago, maybe. Very funny film.)

Anyway, you can find the midi file at this site.

It sounds complicated when you hear it but when you look at the music notation on a software program it looks fairly simple - all in the repetitions of patterns of notes. I have heard an Irish Australian friend of mine play it on an Irish bouzouki and it sounds fantastic. I thought Ryan might like to hear it.
