Vocal Percussion and Cuss Words


Jake Moulton has been performing profesionally for almost 20 years and he mimicks the sound of a drum kit. He swung by the studio at Power 98 to promote AKA A Capella VI, a festival happening in Singapore in Jan. Boy can he spit it. Yes, he had a go at the mic and I was half worried his face would explode and spontaneously combust cause the tunes and beats he was pumping were downright dirty and hot.

So I tap dance, so if there are feet percussionist that will be me and I have been doing that since I was a kid. So it was no joke cause it is such a pleasure to see someone work their noisecraft upon their lips giving me happy feet. You feel the rift of his vocal percussion thrill ride as he drops sick beats and organic technical drive his performance and style. :) So if they can beat box that well... then can they that kiss as well? That would be a worthy question to throw out to the next beat boxer and vocal percussionist you meet.

But consider this, a brunch of cool B boys who had a little too much coke for comfort and hada serious case of ructuosity. They could form the B Boys Ructuosity Choir and spin on their heads whilst busting out frequent blechs to punctuate the phat beats. Maybe then I can jive along in my shiny tap shoes and make the times step spilt into a syncopated feats.

So been thinking about this artist who has been making waves. Lady Feist. Her sound is subtle, breath-taking and ethereal. However, since feist means a silent fart, I reckon this lady would be admitting to her more flatulent moments in life. I reckon you could make fart musical sounds but this special sure beats parbreaking.

Lord knows that parbreaking, vomitting out the medley and symphony of last night's indulgent on stage surely would not do! If someone had the nerve to do that to you, you could snurt at them. Which essentiully means you are entitled to eject mucus from your nose when sneezing and aim it right at them. Then appropriately throw out a cuss word like,

" you steatopygous (Fat-assed) should stay in the stercorary (place for storing dung)
cause I know of your insatiably stercoverous (dung eating) habits."
