You don’t need to look far to realize that music is everywhere.
The creative and musically inclined people out there are making music without those outdated and so passe musical instruments like pianos and guitars. Why would you play a saxophone when you could play a trumpet made out of glacial ice. Why play a violin when you could play a tree instead? There are those who would like to play the drums, but I think I’d rather play my T-shirt instead. For the bodily inclined, you can use fat rolls or even condoms as musical instruments.
If using a lie detector, vegetables, lasers or a soccer ball to produce some phat beats doesn't get your toes tapping, nothing will. With all of these music-making machines out there, music is everywhere.
