Composer Johnnyrandom is on a mission to change the way you hear the world, using only a bicycle and its parts.

The artist created an entire musical composition without using any traditional instruments. Instead, he tuned his spokes and plucked them with guitar picks, struck his tires and sprocket with mallets, and even implemented an ebow, which uses an electromagnetic field to vibrate metal objects, such as guitar strings -- or in this case, brake lines.

"Through music I want change the way that people perceive their surroundings, and I hope this will inspire others to look at everyday objects with more curiosity and wonder," writes Johnnyradom in the video's description.

An unknowing listener would probably never recognize that the piece "Bespoken" was created using only a bicycle. Close your eyes and listen, or you can download just the audio on iTunes.
