What up...the thing you are hearing is the keyboard percussion instrument invented by Iannis Xenakis, called the sixxen, made of flat aluminum piping and a sort of rough tuning system; six of those were played by the Third Coast Percussion Ensemble last night in a piece by Philippe Manoury. In this, samples of the sixxen (sixxens?) and some gongs, and people chattering, from after the show.
Runner-up titles:
Sixxen Tired
Deep Sixx

Nice. The little bits of crowd noise do a lot to add some drama to it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, how about "Les Sixx"
or "Too Sixxen For This Song"
ReplyDeleteOooohhhh ... it makes me sixxen to my stomach that you didn't think of that one in time!
