about

Dried biwa seeds dropped and scraped on xylophone bars. Sustained tones achieved by accentuating the resonant frequencies of individual xylophone notes.

The band Murallin Lane (David Wenngren & Ylva Wiklund) gave me a small matchbox, decorated with musical notes, for Christmas in 2010. The notes in the bass clef were used as a guide for dropping seeds, collected with friends in Japan in 2016, onto the bars of the xylophone. Attempting to “play” the piece of music with the seeds proved cumbersome and ultimately didn’t work. The xylophone was a gift, but I can’t recall from whom.
