Fire + Tuba =
I don't often check out boingboing, but this is an entertaining post. The flaming tuba, realized and conceived by David Silverman. Just a few years ago I might've actually wanted to use this! (Scary thought, eh?)A friend of mine, Anna Maltese, is an expert fire dancer. I'd watch her perform with her other fire and circus pals -- and that's when it hit me: fire+tuba=fun. Very simple equation. The "+" was the the tricky part. . . .
Now I am happily performing with Anna's fire company, Phoenix Projekt. Call me Tubatron. Here to spread joy, music, tuba flames, and pedal-tone B flats.
Thanks, Liz, for the heads up!

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.

And wouldn't that be a terrific finale for a recital or concert? What music would you play?

:-) That would be good, though perhaps a bit "over the top."
(Flaming) tuba quartet arrangments of Entry of the Gladiators or Ride of the Valkyries might be appropriate.
