It would be interesting to place a speaker face down on the ice and play guitar through it and then have some piezo pickups maybe 10 or 20M away to record the reverb! Maybe some of the Scandinavians here could try it? It doesn't get cold enough to freeze the lakes here...
telegraph wires recorded w/ contact mics anyone?

I have heard hints of this from the high tension power lines cutting across the farm, but it's much cooler captured by contact vibration and layered....
Any unlikely contender for this thread... but I'm calling a technicality because there are lots of bells. Re-visiting this masterpiece from last decade.
I don't recall liking this when it came out but most of their music sounds soooo good to me now (I liked AESTHETHICA from the jump and still love it).

I've got a few, probs not very high quality bowls, but it would be awesome to have a roomful, or a bowl gamelan. Went to a crystal bowl thing once, and that was pretty engaging - different sonority, but
as a non-geekified listener, pretty much the same....

Name of the ad hoc band was "Microtonal Gong Sho", what with the microtonal guitar (left) and shō (right).
Interesting! Did they performed an improvised set or did they have written pieces for this setup? I m always curious to know when I see this unusual mixture of instruments.

Improvised. But I gathered they did a rehearsal beforehand to feel out some zones.
this is a solid plan
