Bullroarer Resource

Hello Everyone,

When we met with the puppetry class in their room, I was with the group who were working on design for the dragonflies. One of my peers suggested adding an instrument to the puppet so that as it flies through the air, it makes a sound. This reminded me of the video professor Gurevich showed us in class of the piece which took up all of Central Park. In that piece, some of the musicians were playing bullroarers, which is an instrument native to Australia. The bullroarer, when swung, creates a drone/buzzing sound, as heard here.

They're not that expensive, either! They can be found pretty cheap online, and would, in my opinion, be an interesting interpretation of a natural sound and movement of an insect.
