Inspired by Reich's "Clapping Music," but not using his time shifts. Minimal tech: hand-claps, glass bottles, dust pan, pot lids, crumpled tracing paper, all "played" in real time and assembled in Ableton. Tempo and volume changes are used to delineate phrases.

I love this kind of "found sound" stuff. There's music all around us. Makes for a cool change of pace, too.
Wow, this is great fun to listen to. Sounds big in stereo. I think you discovered a new categorie you can explore. Keep on clapping.....
I totally agree with Q-Rosh. It is absolute fun and interesting to hear. Reminds me very much of the starting stages of Einstürzende Neubauten, just better....I really enjoy when the song appears to slow down a bit and suddenly restarts. Great work!
This is super cool. Very fun piece, as has been mentioned. Fantastic work!
A refreshing piece. I like how the recordings aren't overly processed. Tastefully minimal in execution.
Refreshingly different and a very good execution of the idea.
And inspiring: it makes me want to do a track with samples from my own kitchen.
