The Art and Science of All Things Udderbot

The udderbot is a new acoustic musical instrument with revolutionary potential, both within the musical world and beyond it.

The most direct way to claim your stake in this exciting project is to join our Udderbotany program.

We have uncovered some crucially helpful techniques out for musicians wanting to incorporate the udderbot seamlessly into their arsenal.

Our body of knowledge looks something like this:

The udderbot was born as a "do-it-yourself" project, but who wants to play in a vacuum? We are here to make awesome music with you—and to help you break through to udderbot mastery.

To take things even further...I believe that no matter what your circumstance, YOU would benefit from learning Udderbotany—the art and science of all things udderbot:

• Musicians—a new instrument to master.
• Composers—a fresh timbre to expand your palette.
• Students—a powerful tool for ear training.
• Listeners—a guaranteed conversation starter.
• Music skeptics—something new to passionately dislike!

Udderbotany combines wind instrument essentials with glissando technique gleaned from the fretless family, musical saw, theremin, trombone, string instruments, etc.

Our musical perspective is Western, but also Xenharmonic—proceeding smoothly from the familiar into the unfamiliar.

The udderbot is a musical instrument that will reach maturity in your lifetime.

They say every human being is essential. What do You bring to the miracle of udderbot technology?

As for me, Jacob Barton, I bring

• my prominence as a public figure;
• a virtuoso spirit;
• organizational jambitions of grandeur; and
• an enduring belief in the power of nonsense to heal division.

The melody has its moments; still, as a vocal melody, it features some repeated notes that don't hold up well in the instrumental translation.

This was a great project with the co-op house I lived in in 2009, La Casa Grande Colectiva. The synth line worked well on double barrel udderbot, and I improvised a neckstrap out of rope:

This cover may be worth revisiting. It felt like a really special moment within that group of people.
