No savagery to be soothed there, just a mellow jam session. Thanks for posting this Wonderful Thing.

Gabriel and Bonobo sounds like a pretty cool collaboration, actually.

Now someone just needs to design and build a keyboard for their chubby little fingers. She was clearly exploring the sounds. The repeated tone clusters show her responding to what she was hearing, especially as she got into the groove.

Wait, is this “a bonobo” or just using the “U Talking U2 2 Me?” name for Bono…?

Gabriel seemed to be speaking to the great apes through his synthesizer. It was a shock to the man who once sang “Shock the Monkey.”

Gabriel himself has described “Shock the Monkey” as “a love song” that examines how jealousy can release one’s basic instincts; the monkey is not a literal monkey, but a metaphor for one’s feelings of jealousy.

Bonobos and rock stars both noted for being highly promiscuous.
