‘The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs’ and ‘A Flower’ (John Cage) performed by Lisa Dowling
In which Lisa Dowling uses the percussive aspects of her bass exclusively while singing.
Note the towel on the strings. I suspect that’s there to keep the strings from vibrating while she uses the bass as a drum. Clever.
