I’m sure it’s hard to record, but cacophone would seem to more aposite. And yes – for heaven’s sake shut up so we can hear the poor tortured thing.

WTF? You didnt warn me id have to hear bad singing too! Give that thing to someone who could use it, Richard D. James, Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Byrne.. Someone like that. This dude makes it sounds like a toy piano being thrown down a flight of stairs.. (And the singing! Why God?)

I had to laugh my (blank) off through the whole video. It looked like, a made for the movies, stereotypical well financed evil mad scientist testing his latest evil invention with his trusty sidekick Egor slaving over the crank. Ha Ha Ha…. Great stuff.

I wanted the damn plinging noise to stop so I could hear the singing. I thought he had a great voice but the plining ” instrument” sounded horrible.
