What I do with my band, Capone BungtBangt, is to built musical instruments using wasted things. We play a kind of reggaefunkadelic misic. The sound is professional and totally competitive with the commercial musical instruments but the great difference is that what sounds is selfmade by wasted things!
The group was born ten years ago with the idea of leaving behind the standard ways of playing music, while at the same time heightening global humanitarian and ecological awareness.
The music of Capone BungtBangt is created with trash and recycled materials that begin a new life as musical instruments. Virtually every kind of object can be, and is, transformed into real instruments: A piece of wood with 4 sewing elastics mounted on it becomes a double bass. A kitchen broom strung with an elastic band becomes an electric guitar. A polystyrene ice cream box with 5 rubber bands turns into a harp. Plastic garbage cans, metal construction containers, and scrap and sheet metal replace a “real” drum set.
We hope our music will help the new people generetions to see how many things can be done in no impact direction and how is fun to live in that way!
Thank you for the attention and I’m always happy to meet people like you!
Capone
