Hitting things!
Recording the sounds they make!
I'm going to be doing all the music for the cartoon like this, I think. No digital instruments! (Though, software effects are allowed!)
This is actually significantly more... uhh.. rythmic and harmonious than much of what I have planned. Retarded cartoon needs retarded music!
This is 3 plastic drinking cups. Two drinking glasses, and me hitting one end of my didjeridu with the other end pointed at the mic. (AT2020). I then EQed the cups and glasses to get a more musical tone, added a little reverb, and boom. I think the bassy sound needs a little more work to get it to blend, but whatevs!
Edit: I did a little tweaking to the bassthumpy part to get it to blend in a lot better. Fixed some timing anomalies and the EQ and mixing to integrate it with the rest. It's not perfect but it's better. I think One of the problems is that it very much has that sound of "being right up close to the mic," where the rest sounds kinda distant. It's good enough for what I'm doing, but it's interesting stuff to figure out!

Is you make a cartoon???
The idea of a cartoon with your art and this kind of music is approximately 153% more appealing than chocolate cake.

I wonder if anyone has made a PVC didge. the tones sound similar when struck
actually, yes! It's very common. I have a few I've made myself.
Being that a didj is just a tube of wood, a tube of PVC is pretty much already a didj and needs little crafting other than cutting to length and fitting some sort of mouthpiece.
PVC actually makes a really good instrument to learn didjing on. It's very playable and sounds decent, relative to a lot of other materials that are, frankly, more troublesome to work with. The biggest problem is that PVC is kinda "springy" and resonates well, TOO well, so the sound is very "boomy" and covers up much of the interesting detail.
