Since I screwed up my first version, I thought I better post a new thread for this vid.

Vocal, Tenor-neck Soprano Ukulele and 2 drinking glasses, a dessert dish and a coffee mug with pencil mallet.

From the 1986 album Tinderbox, Cities in Dust concerns the town of Pompeii, Italy, which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The townspeople were covered in hot ash and soot, their forms preserved in the positions they held at the moment of their demise. And now, it's ukulele fun! ;)

Thanks!
 
that was way cool. your instrumentation and editing skills are to die for!

I originally recorded the bell part with the ukulele and then used the Audacity Phaser on it. It ended up sounding like an outer-space theme. Imagine my surprise when I found 4 glasses that were pitched correctly!
This one was the most difficult to edit, and I got tired editing in extra pics toward the end.

and who would have thought siouxsie sioux's lyrics would sound so good coming from a dude!

Hey, I put my spandex on one footie at a time just like the next glam-rocker!:D
