"Is There Anybody Out There?" is a mostly instrumental song on the Pink Floyd album, The Wall. The first half has the same concept of "Hey You", being a distress call from Pink. The second half is fully instrumental. An interesting part of the song is the classical guitar solo, as it is widely uncertain who played it. In several interviews, David Gilmour said that he tried to perform it, and was not satisfied with the final result ("I could play it with a leather pick but couldn't play it properly fingerstyle.") Accordingly, the classical music sessionman Ron di Blasi was brought in by Michael Kamen to play with the rest of the orchestra. Gilmour also says that the song was composed by Bob Ezrin, with the understanding that Roger Waters would receive credit. The shrill siren-like sound effect used during this song is also used in an earlier Pink Floyd work, "Echoes". The noise was originally used as a sort of whale call for the deep-water-based "Echoes", and is created by Gilmour using a backwards-wired Wah Pedal.
