Paper Instruments: Studio Recordings and Burning
Awesome things about paper instruments: easy and cheap to make, readily available materials, lightweight, recyclable, and quite flammable. Playing instruments while they are on fire is not something I can legally recommend to you—it is as dangerous as art itself. Luckily, we are the world experts on playing burning paper instruments, and with proper precautions had an incredible experience. Video footage to come.

Before we burned all the instruments, I made some studio recordings. Here are three short pieces for paperwinds and paper tube xylophone:

1. Dance Media player: Click to play (56 sec)
2. A3 A4 Media player: Click to play (1 min 32 sec)
3. Floo-ee-oo-ee-ute Media player: Click to play (1 min 38 sec)
