help me find bowed saw/glass music
 

Anyone know any albums or artists which feature the saw heavily or those guys that play the rims of glasses?

Neutral Milk Hotel's "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" has some pretty nice bowed saw work in it. I can only pick it out in 2 songs but you might have a better ear for it.

cool thanks, i have bits and bobs off that album don't think i have those tracks though, i'lll see what allmusic says

Giardia put out an LP of modern compositions on glass harmonica by Simon Wickham-Smith a few years ago; it is a total masterpiece, especially since it uses such an incredible instrument to make sheets and layers of beautiful frequencies instead of novelty versions of "Baby Elephant Walk" or some other such nonsense.
If you can track it down, it is truly essential. It's called " Giladji."

Edit:
Found a copy here!

Black Heart Procession uses a saw.

thanks! that glass harmonica guy sounds intriguing

yeah check out the black heart procession, lots of saw in the earlier stuff

I know James Taylor used saws, 2x4's, hammers, etc. on the track,
"Little David". Yes, I'm into James Taylor. The early years obviously.

bastard!!! it should have been mine!!! (j/k)

yeah, what he said

Yeah I saw them live when they opened up for Modest Mouse in 2000. I hadn't really heard them before and they really blew my mind!
