do any of you beat-box out of boredom/stims/other?
schleed? your a musician
personally, ive never encountered it before.
i have to be specific tho, i dont "do it like the rappers do" (i dont make fart-noises into my hands... ), its self-thought, since childhood, i just replicate sounds so they sound good in my head, its not made for external listening, but for my own amusement. i tend to "make" everything from slow dark beats, to melodic "techno", both sitting bored by the computer, or out walking,
when i left the military, they regretted "losing their beat-box" cus i'd be making beats to the beat when out walking in the woods and stuff
i dont try to make anything very complex, cus im not trying to impress anyone, cus, like i said, its for my own boredom, but once testing myself, i did manage to get a pretty decent billie jean intro, w the drums, the bassline, and barely squashed the chords in there.
the habit originates from the "thursday evenings" w my (divorced) dad, in his car, we would "play" lots of latinomusic acapella, "sing" the drums and guitars and whatnot.
apart from my brother, ive never met a fellow spontaneous-beat-boxer
(as a kid my brother was obsessed with making very dark bass booms, and would sometimes lay down (in public) and attempt to make the ground tremble, by going "OOOO!!!")
ponds from now on.
