Broadcast made by the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich from the besieged city of Leningrad in 1941. The work he refers to here is Symphony No. 7 in C Major, opus 60, subtitled Leningrad. Transcript: An hour ago, I finished the score of two parts of a large symphonic composition. If I succeed in writing this composition well, if I succeed in completing the third and fourth parts, then it will be possible to call this composition the seventh symphony. Why do I announce this? So that the radio listeners who are listening to me now will know that the life of our city goes on as normal. We are all now doing our military duty. Soviet musicians, my dear friends and numerous brothers-in-arms, my friends! Remember that our art is now in great danger. Let us defend our music, let us work honestly and selflessly! Hace una hora, he terminado la partitura de dos partes de una composición sinfónica de gran tamaño. De tener éxito en escribir bien esta composición, de tener éxito en completar las partes tercera y cuarta, entonces se hará posible llamar a esta composición la sinfonía sétima. ¿Por qué les anuncio esto? Para que los radioescuchas que me están escuchando ahora sepan que la vida en nuestra ciudad prosigue como de costumbre. Todos estamos ahora haciendo nuestro deber militar. ¡Músicos soviéticos, queridos amigos y numerosos hermanos de armas míos, mis amigos! Recuerden que nuestro arte está en gran peligro ahora. ¡Defendamos nuestra música, trabajemos honesta y desinteresadamente! Час тому назад я закончил партитуру двух частей большого симфонического сочинения. Если это сочинение мне удасться написать хорошо, удасться закончить третью и четвертую части, то тогда можно будет назвать это сочинение Седьмой симфонией. Для чего я сообщаю об этом? Для того, чтобы радиослушатели, которые слушают меня сейчас, знали, что жизнь нашего города идет нормально. Все мы несем сейчас свою боевую вахту. Советские музыканты, мои дорогие и многочисленные соратники по оружию, мои друзья! Помните, что сейчас нашему искусству грозит великая опасность. Будем же защищать нашу музыку, будем же честно и самоотверженно работать.

In front of my desk in my room is a wood paneled wall with a cubbie. It's about a foot wide, 10 inches from top to bottom and maybe 7 inches deep. I'm just guessing. Around this cubbie is a border of wood. In the bottom right corner under the border i have jammed one end of an elastic string that used to have glitter on it. It's from a christmas box of chocolates my uncle sent me last year. I stand in front of this cubbie whose bottom is at chin height, (i'm only 5ft1in) so my arms are above my head as i pull this string across the cubbie to the border on the left which acts as my only fret. The string is a few inches longer than the cubbie is wide, but when i pull it it gets longer so my hand is 3/4 along it's length as i pull back and forth across the border to tighten and loosen the string. No matter how hard i pull it never pops loose from it's mooring. The recording starts with me standing up from my chair. In the first part until 01:54 i am playing the string at maybe 30° from horizontal. It has a buzzy quality that reminds me of an african folk instrument i can't remember the name of. From 01:33 to 01:54 i'm trying to imitate a korean folk vibrato kind of thing. In the second part until 02:29 i am playing 45 to 60° from horizontal and it sounds like a full-bodied string bass with no buzz. In the last part beginning at 02:34 i am playing about 75° from horizontal across the top border of the cubbie on the left so it sounds buzzy and african again, and i'm just going crazy goofing around with a crazy bluesy rock sort of rhythm. There didn't seem to be any homemade 1-stringed wall-cubbie basses on this site so here is mine, have fun. I don't play it if mom is home because the living room is on the other side of the wall and she can't hear tv. Also my neighbor can probably hear it in the next apartment lol.
