# Bicycle-Created Music Bespoken by Johnnyr*ndom is a Composition of Sporty Sounds By Meghan Young | Published 2014-01-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bespoken-by-johnnyrndom References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/01/making-music-with-a-bike/) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/jrandom) Although the music track titled Bespoken by Johnnyrandom, a sound composer and music designer, could be described as sporty sound, but that is only because of the 'instrument' used to create it. Made entirely by [using a bicycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-one), the spokes have been tuned, tires inflated and more in order to create a unique piece that is, of course, more ambient and electronic than it is sporty. Created without the additional use of [synthesizers, samplers or drum machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3tonic), Bespoken by Johnnyrandom was inspired by childhood memories of riding bikes and placing cards between the spokes to hear them in the wind. Much more sophisticated than that, Johnny random does utilize a [violin bow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-guitar-1) and other music accessories to achieve some of the unique sounds produced. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bicycle Soundscapes:** Exploring the use of bicycles as instruments for creating unique soundscapes presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the music industry. - **Eco-friendly Music Production:** Eliminating the use of traditional music equipment and relying on sustainable resources, such as bicycles, presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the music industry. - **Audiovisual Sport Experiences:** Combining the sounds of cycling with visually immersive experiences presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the sports and entertainment industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music:** The music industry can explore the use of bicycles as musical instruments, eliminate traditional equipment and create more sustainable music production methods. - **Sports:** The sports industry can incorporate the sounds of cycling in audiovisual experiences to enhance the overall entertainment aspect of sports events. - **Sustainability:** The sustainability industry can collaborate with the music industry to explore the use of sustainable resources in music production, such as using bicycles to create unique soundscapes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Cyclist Bell Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trek-bellbeats.md) - [Square-Wheeled Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squarewheeled-bicycle.md) - [Real-Time Adaptive Audio Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interrail.md) - [AI-Powered Music Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-music-synthesizer.md) - [Monotrack Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monotrack-bike.md) - [Tape Deck Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-folklore.md) - [Oddball Penny-Farthing Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pennyfarthing-bike.md) - [Triangle-Shaped Bicycle Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangleshaped-bicycle.md) - [Recycled Coffee Pod-Made Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycle.md)
