Couple of friends of mine spent a couple of months in military prison here
and developped a nice occuaption called vocal techno. Just exactly that.
One would make the TB sound, one would make the bass drum and sometimes
the hi-hats and rest can improvise more freely. They even wrote some lyrics.
It is fun, try it.
