A major 7th arpeggio in the key of Bb, with a trill at the end

Inspiration comes to composers in many forms. A musician was recording certain bodily functions for his homesick brother, when happenstance delivered a sublime moment of melody. He ran with it (SLYT).

Apparently I have more musical talent than I thought I did.

Glad to see Gene Belcher is still making music as an adult!

And from 1904, a rare recording of the Marsetro himself.

Relatedly, a song about death farts: Decrepit Crescendo by Exhumed.

The vagueness of this post made me first think about Nymphomatriarch, an album that Venetian Snares and his then-girlfriend Hecate made together from sounds they made together. Then there's the more varied Herbert's Bodily Functions, and the more invasive A Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure by Matmos.

Not much of a symphony, more like an over-blown arsepeggio.

Also obligatory, the fabled Crepitation Contest recorded in Toronto in the 1940s.
