-->'''The Business''': “Boon, Roky, and their assembled orphan tribe. Troublemakers, but they’re just getting by. I don’t begrudge anyone who has to live in the vents - though I do wish they had better taste in music. ‘Skeg’ was it? Sounds like a bag of hammers being thrown down a flight of stairs.”
-->'''Smokefinger''': "The music of the vent-children – 'Skeg,' they call it – is a self-evolved musical form, unrestrained by conventional rules of composition. Utilizing improvised instruments, the vents themselves become part drum, part valve, part echo chamber, playing a vital role in the creation of this entirely original acousmatic experience and making sure I never get any mucking sleep!"

Anything is possible if you have the ingenuity to do it. Pick up a trashcan, bang on the lid, and makes some drums. Pull together some shoestrings and make a guitar, and break off a lead pipe and make it into a trombone. Break out the stomping boots and the tap dancing shoes while you're at it. Pretty soon, you've got yourself a Trash Can Band, and before long the music just flows out. Even the ACappella groups can do it!
