scottb Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Congrats on a great review on the show at the Creole Gallery. I just had one question. "At one point, Marsh pulled out a little-used contraption Detroit drummer Roy Brooks used to call the “breathaphone” — plastic pipes through which air is sucked in and out of the drums" Does Randy's "breathaphone" look something like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alankin Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Class puts engineering theory to practical use December 8, 2003 ASSOCIATED PRESS HOLLAND -- When Hope College senior Luke Olinyk finished his engineering design final, he didn't just hand it in to his professor, he also decided to apply for a patent. Olinyk designed a breath-a-phone -- a combination cell phone and alcohol breath analyzer -- for associate professor John Krupczak's semester-long course. Olinyk estimates the final product would cost about $30 more than a regular cell phone. It's about 20 percent bigger. Krupczak said the class challenged students to turn their lessons into real design. "This gives them a real incentive to learn the methods and theories taught in this class and apply them," he said. http://www.freep.com/news/mich/gadget8_20031208.htm - 30 - I'm not sure if this will catch on, at least as a percussion instrument!
