Zipestra

The collective group of musicians who use the zips on their flies, coat or something similar to create a piece of music- put simply, it is a zip orchestra- an orchestra which only uses zips to make music. You can also describe the invidual player as a zipper, and describe the art itself also as zipestra.

This idea was first put into practice in England, specifically the region of Suffolk, by a folklore legend known amongst the locals simply as "Mr Green".
If you were to play any sort of tune with a zip, you would technically be zipping and would be described as performing Zipestra.
