Suite For Furby On Shofar In D Minor

A couple of years ago I wrote about the "only documented collaboration of man and Furby." Well, Sid Yiddish is back with another collaboration with his emoto-tronic friends, this time for the Chicago "Objects In Motion Festival."

As The Chicago Reader puts it...

'The festival’s true standout is Sid Yiddish’s Suite for Furby on Shofar in D Minor, an inspired bit of effrontery.... Yiddish presents an arresting figure, and his ad hoc musical composition would make Fluxus provocateur George Maciunas proud."

So here it is, Sid Yiddish, assorted noisemakers, a shofar, and a gaggle of Furbies.

I love these videos for the physical poetry as much as the humor. I'm sure I'm reading too much into this, but while I was watching the videos I had this strange image of Sid as God playing shofar and whatnot trying vainly to engage an idly chattering minyan of Jews. So you didn't like the shofar, maybe for my next miracle I'll try a slide whistle!
