When is an instrumental not an instrumental? That's the musical question this song asks. Inspired by stream of consciousness, Python style, while the muse blessed that composition-rolling of the dice style of writing.

Artist picture
The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
Inspired by the way Terry Gilliam of Monty Python would sit down with a pile of cut out pictures, toss them up in the air and arrange them into a comical work of art. I'd like to think this is the musical equivalent to that hit or miss kind of creating. With a big tip o' the hat to the Spanish Inquisition sketch, which bookends this song. The "vocal sounds" were created using Vir2 Fractured Prepared Acoustic Guitar, on the "Talker" preset.
Lyrics
** There are no lyrics, but it sounds like there are. Perhaps this is what a human song sounds like to an extra-terrestrial passing by while picking up radio waves of a rock station. **
