Author Topic: grain elevator as musical/audio instrument? yes. Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 08-07-2004 08:57 PM                     This may be crazy,but has anyone thought of using a grain elevator as a musical/audio instrument? of course . see this site called www.silophone.net you can download & even hear wav & mp3 files on the site,plus you can call then & hear your own voice as well.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-07-2004 10:05 PM                     Of course. Everyone's done that. I think it has become a standard instrument of most orchestras these days too.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-07-2004 10:13 PM                        I have called and heard my own voice a'plenty.

That ain't nothing! My uncle is a musicologist as well as a geologist interested in sedimentary and metamorphic rock categories. He once conducted an avalanche in C minor. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-08-2004 01:30 AM                     The site Matthew suggested appears to be another Windoze-only proposition . On my Mac, it's as mute as, well, a grain silo. I've tried Firefox, Safari, even Internet Exploiter and the site just wouldn't pipe up. I think the problem has to do with the site employing RealAudio (and, yes, I upgraded to the latest version of RealPlayer, which claims to only be compatible with the Safari browser). I've had better luck recently with, of all things, Winblows Media streaming, although IMHO the site would have worked much better with QuickTime streaming.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-08-2004 01:42 AM                        quote: Phil Hill Oh PULEEZE!

Okay, never mind that one ... it's late.  |  IP: Logged Robert L.
