So I'm watching a documentary on Dung beetles and I am amazed at how they build things using excrement.
This is like recycling level expert! So I'm trying to come up with a way that people could use this technology and the idea hit me like something that hits something else. Why not make musical instruments out of excrement? Musical Inscrements! They would be the ultimate "green" instruments for all you recycling /save the planet types. A slogan for these "inscrements" could be "Brown is the new green". Another good slogan could be "The sound of brown". I bet a popular bass model would be "The Dung Beatle" bass. We could make a P bass.... obviously! Yet another slogan could be "You'll forget about the smell when you hear how they sound".
Man the ideas just keep coming!
What do you guys think? Any ideas to add? Thanks in advance for the ideas and support.

I wish I was on your level right now, I really do.

So the P stands for Precision or Poop? Humans use animal Crap to fuel fires, make bricks, lots of stuff. I remember the Masai warriors had houses made of mud, poop, and vegetation. Didn't smell that bad inside and it was better and faster than the next option. I think it was used more as a plaster than to make bricks. Kinda like mud plaster ancient cultures use.

I think the idea has potential. Probably better for percussion instruments like clay drums. Doodoo Udu anyone?

Percussion? Like a turd timpani? Whacking it with stocks? In just imagining it blue man group style where they're hitting the timpani and fecal matter is getting liquefied and flying about. Need a tarp Gallagher style.

Ok I actually laughed out loud to that sentence. Thanks for that. Now I'm in a great mood.
