MAKING MUSIC WITH A BIKE, ~~by Ana V. Francés~~

Composer Johnnyrandom breaks new ground with musical compositions made exclusively from everyday objects. His debut single, “Bespoken”, explores the full potential of sounds generated from bicycles and their components, transcending the role of traditional instrumentation as the accepted method for creating beautiful and thought-provoking music. The following video gives a glimpse into the creative process behind this unique composition. (text by Johnny Random)

Johnny Random I Bespoken

1. Tell us about the project it in a few lines

“Bespoken” explores the musical potential of sounds generated from bicycles and their components. It is the first part in a series of releases that utilize everyday objects as a medium for composition.

2. Where did the idea of “Bespoken” come from?

When I was about 5 years old, I had begun to imagine my bike in a musical context. In the early 90’s I began to record and experiment with found objects as instruments, but was never fully satisfied with the results. It wasn’t until recently that I could play and capture bicycle sounds in a way that gave me a sonic palette that was diverse enough to create what I had imagined.

3. Why bikes? Why music?

Bicycles are such a perfect system with so many beautiful sounding parts. “Bespoken” used a small fraction of those sounds, mostly because the goal was to create music that was more melodic and harmonic, rather than percussive.

4. Who do you take your inspiration from?

What I hear in music and what I hear in my environment sort of overlap. I am inspired by a very long list of composers and songwriters mixed with things like the shimmering, bell-like sound of a teaspoon hitting the side of a bowl or a mockingbird singing outside of my window.

5. Where are you based and why?

I live in the Bay Area of California for a variety of reasons - Beautiful and dynamic geography, progressive thinking, access to cultural diversity… I’ve moved away several times, but always end up back here.

6. What kind of bike do you ride?

My favorite is a Specialized Stumpjumper. It was a great source for bass lines (guitar pick on knobby tires) on “Bespoken”. :)
