The mysterious black box

If there’s anything 2001: A Space Odyssey has taught me, it’s that black boxes(excluding coffins) evoke curiosity. There’s a mystery behind them(may include coffins). For some people, it evokes a little fear(definitely coffins).

But there’s nothing to fear about my new black box, a.k.a Cajón. It is a percussion instrument made of wood. It doubles as a short stool. In fact, you have to sit on it while you play, a sort of musical bonding between wood and ass.

 

This is not what it sounds like. This is a bad recording of the black box.

This is going to be dark. Relax. They are not going to haunt you through my blog. They prefer movies over blogs for that purpose.
