  • So . . . what is it? Is it SFW? Is it a movie? Flash? An animated .gif that doesn't do anything for about 20 seconds then suddenly screams at you? Aaaaiiigh! Ever since gaping_modem's Corey Feldman poop I'm reluctant to click on a link that's just the domain name with no description and no comments. Um, although if I was looking for answers in the comments, I wouldn't be helped by this either. Sorry.
  • It's safe, Pete. It's a very sophisticated site about a stringed house. Wicked cool!
  • Very interesting, although I think cats, dogs and children would not be welcome in such a place. A monkey, on the other hand, could make the house resonate nicely.
  • Ever since gaping_modem's Corey Feldman poop I'm reluctant to click on a link that's just the domain name with no description and no comments. So thats why hardly anyone ever comments in the threads I post
  • oooo oooo oooo oooo ahh ahh ahh ahh OOOOO OOOOO AHH AHH AHHH Werks for me. *must confess, didn't click on link, but if it's anything like the wall in the zoo, there's some great sound effects
  • And no, this isn't a miss-post that was supposed to be in the modified kitchen appliance thread
  • Ooh, cool. Except what do you do when it goes out of tune?
  • You buy a really big tuning fork.
  • Never mind about it going out of tune, what would happen if the strings snapped? And someone was walking by? Do they cut in half by the string whipping by? *shudder*
  • as long as someone blogs it...
  • I watched one of the videos. Musical architecture is an interesting idea. I'd like to hear how it sounds when the windows are opened on a windy day. And maybe something besides strings, like a water-drip operated percussion section. Houses kind of already have music - the creaking and the squeaking and the doors slamming. The garbarge disposal and the dishwasher and the vaccuum. Don't forget the toilets. Once a visiting friend told me that the repetitive sound the dryer and washing machines were making sounded like someone singing "Li - ly, Li - ly."
